Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about NextCV, ATS optimization, and PDF export.
Is NextCV really free?
Yes. You can build and preview resumes for free without a credit card. Exporting a clean, watermark-free PDF uses a paid credit, and AI features require a signed-in account with credits.
What is ATS optimization, and why does it matter?
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes for keywords, formatting, and structure before a human ever sees them. NextCV helps you phrase your experience in ATS-friendly language so your resume gets past the filters and in front of recruiters.
How does the AI wording optimization work?
Select any bullet point or summary line and click "Rewrite with AI." NextCV returns three tone variants — The Executive, The High-Achiever, and The Specialist — tuned with the XYZ formula: Accomplished X, measured by Y, by doing Z.
How does gap analysis work?
Paste a job description and NextCV compares it against your resume, returning a match score, missing keywords, and prioritized fixes you can apply with one click.
Can I export my resume as a PDF?
Yes. Every template exports to a print-safe, A4-ready PDF. Free previews include a PREVIEW MODE watermark; premium export removes it.
Which languages does NextCV support?
The editor and templates are available in English, Japanese, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
