Frequently asked questions

Is FreeCareerTools really free?
Yes. Every tool on the site is free to use and there is no account to create. There is no paid tier, no trial, and no gated download.
Do I need to sign up or log in?
No. There is no registration, login, or paywall. You can open any tool and start working immediately.
Where is my information stored?
Your drafts are saved locally in your own browser using local storage. Nothing you type is sent to or stored on our servers. If you clear your browser data or use a different device, your drafts will not carry over — so export anything you want to keep.
Can I download my resume as a PDF?
Yes. The resume builder and cover letter generator generate a PDF directly in your browser and download it — there is no print dialog to fight with and no browser header or footer on the page. The resume builder offers three layouts to choose from.
Does the resume checker guarantee I will pass an ATS or get an interview?
No. The resume checker is a readability and formatting helper, not an applicant tracking system simulator and not a hiring guarantee. We publish exactly what each check does on our methodology page so you can judge the output for yourself.
Do you use AI to write my documents?
No. The generators use structured templates and writing rules that run entirely in your browser, so they work offline and never send your details anywhere. Everything the tools produce is meant to be edited by you — they organize your material rather than invent it.
