Free resume templates to download as a PDF

All 57 resume designs

Above you’ll find all 57 designs, each filled in with the same sample resume. Your content is stored separately from the design, so you can switch templates at any time without retyping a word: write your resume once and try it in as many designs as you like before you decide.

There are three kinds of layout: single column (the safest choice for applicant tracking systems), sidebar (contact details, skills and languages in a column off to one side) and two columns (experience on the left, supporting details on the right). In the editor, you see every template with your own information, exactly as it will look in the PDF and on your personal website.

Which resume template to choose for your field

No template is best for everyone. What matters is that the design makes your strongest points quick to find. This table sums up what each one does well:

Colors and fonts: the same design, your way

Every template comes in 12 colors: green, teal, blue, navy, purple, raspberry, burgundy, orange, mustard, earth, graphite and black. You can pair it with any of 8 fonts, from modern sans serifs (Inter, Montserrat, Space Grotesk) to classic serifs (Merriweather, Lora, Playfair). Colors and fonts are available on every plan, including the free one.

• One color, not five. Each design uses a single accent color for headings and details, while the body text stays dark so it’s easy to read.
• Conservative fields: navy, graphite, black or burgundy look polished and understated.
• Creative and customer-facing roles: orange, purple, raspberry or teal add personality without looking unprofessional.
• Printing in black and white? Check the preview first: darker colors hold their contrast better.

What makes a good resume template

A beautiful template that’s hard to read works against you. Before you pick one, make sure it covers the basics:

• Clear hierarchy. Your name, professional title and section headings stand out at a glance.
• Standard section headings. “Experience,” “Education,” “Skills”: recruiters know where to look, and so does the software that screens applications.
• Real text, not images. You should be able to select and copy every word in the PDF.
• Enough white space. Margins and spacing that give the content room to breathe.
• A readable font at normal reading size, on screen and on paper.
• No skill-level graphics like bars or stars: they don’t say anything specific, and they confuse resume-reading software.

Every Mi Resumen template follows these guidelines. And since US employers don’t expect a photo on a resume, the photo is optional in every design: leave it off when you apply for jobs in the US. To learn more about how software reads a resume, see our guide to the ATS-friendly resume.

How to use a resume template, step by step

1. Create a free account. No credit card needed.
2. Add your information. Type it in from scratch, or import your LinkedIn profile (from its public link or by pasting the text) or an old resume in PDF. Everything is saved as you work.
3. Open the design gallery and compare: you’ll see your own resume in every template. Then pick a color and a font.
4. Polish the wording. The AI assistant can draft a professional summary, improve the description of a job or tailor your resume to a specific job posting. You review every suggestion and decide what to apply.
5. Download it as a PDF or publish it as a personal website with a link of your own.

Resume templates in PDF: why it’s the safest format

A PDF looks exactly the same on any computer or phone, and almost every job site and employer accepts it. Mi Resumen templates export to PDF with selectable text (not a flat image) and embedded fonts, so what you see in the preview is what the recruiter gets.

Some postings or application portals specifically ask for a Word document. If that’s the case, follow the instructions: the employer decides the format.

From template to personal website

Besides the PDF, you can publish any template as a web page at an address of your own, like yourname.miresumen.com. It’s an easy way to share your resume on LinkedIn, in your email signature or in a quick message, without attaching a file.

Your draft stays private until you decide to publish it, and the public page shows the contact details on your resume, so include only the ones you’re comfortable sharing. When you change something, publish again and the link stays the same; you can also take the page down whenever you want.
