Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

CVAurum is a free, open-source browser tool for creating and tailoring résumés and CVs. It suits job seekers who want to edit application documents locally, work offline, and keep control of their résumé library. A live preview reflects direct content edits, while the ATS check scores résumé structure and matches keywords against a job description. That makes it useful for practical revisions without positioning it as an AI writing assistant.

Its strongest fit is a document-first workflow. Users can choose from 68 templates, import résumé PDFs—including scanned PDFs handled with on-device OCR—and export selectable-text PDFs, Word (.docx), or JSON Resume files. The browser stores résumé data locally, and the site describes the tool as an installable app that works offline. Backup and restore support helps manage a résumé library. The product is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, and its free plan includes the core builder rather than separating features across paid tiers.

The main trade-off is scope: CVAurum has no built-in AI features. Its ATS scoring is deterministic, even though the site offers prompts for use with external AI assistants. It is a good choice for solo job seekers and small-scale use who value offline editing, template choice, and portable exports. People specifically seeking AI-generated résumé writing or a broader paid service ecosystem should compare alternatives. Because storage stays in the browser, users should also maintain backups if they rely on a local résumé library.
