If software can't read your CV, nobody will

Build your CV with AI — free, in your browser

A recruiter skims for seconds, and an applicant-tracking system reads before they do. If either one cannot follow your CV quickly, nothing else about it matters.

Upload the CV you already have, or start from a ready profile. Building it, editing it and exporting the PDF are free on every plan. The AI tools — score, rewrite, tailor, translate — run on credits, and the free plan comes with some.

Getting a CV to a state you trust

The usual way

  • Fight the layout in Word every time you add a line
  • Guess what a recruiter looks for first
  • Guess what the applicant-tracking system can read
  • Rewrite the same three bullets, differently, forever
  • Rebuild it from scratch for a different kind of role
  • Start over completely to have it in another language

Here

  • Import the CV you already have
  • Fix what the score actually flags
  • Export a clean PDF, free

From an old PDF to a CV that holds up

  1. 1

    Bring what you already have

    Upload your existing CV as a PDF and it is read into structured, editable sections — nothing to retype. No CV yet? Start from one of 15 ready career profiles, which costs no credits.

    Lay it out the way you want

    Pick from 13 template layouts and 8 colour palettes, drag whole sections into the order that suits your story, and watch a live A4 preview update as you type. The editor stays deliberately simple — plain fields, no layout fiddling.

    Export it clean

    Download an ATS-readable PDF on any plan, as often as you like — exporting your CV costs no credits. On the free plan the PDF carries a preparAItor watermark, and you are told before you download, never after. Paid plans remove it.

Everything the CV Maker can do

Not just a form that lays out text. These are the AI tools that work on the content itself.

CV Health — a score out of 100

Your CV is scored against ATS rules and recruiter practice, section by section, with your strengths, your weaknesses and a ranked list of what to fix first. Re-run it after every edit.

Tailor to a specific job

Point it at a posting and it aligns your CV to that role: which keywords are missing, what to rephrase, and every proposed change shown one by one to accept or reject. One-click undo, and the full history is kept.

Translate the whole CV

German, French, Italian and English, with the layout and formatting preserved. Useful in a country where the right language depends on which canton the job is in.

AI Improve — three rewrites per click

Click any bullet or summary and get three alternative rewrites. Keep the one you like, or discard all three and keep your own. Nothing changes without you accepting it.

13 layouts, 8 colours, sections in your order

From a plain ATS-safe classic to a two-column sidebar, a timeline or an editorial layout. Reorder whole sections by dragging them, switch template or palette at any time, and the same content re-flows — you never rewrite anything to change the look.

Match check — before you spend on a generation

Point your CV at a posting and get the gap: what is missing, what is thin, whether this is worth applying for at all. It costs a tenth of a generation on purpose, because the decision it informs is whether to run one.

The editor is free. Credits are for the AI.

Writing, editing, restyling and exporting your CV cost nothing, on every plan. Only the AI tools above spend credits — and the free plan arrives with 250 of them, so you can run them before deciding anything.

Want to see it work before you upload anything?

Start from one of 15 example career profiles — loading one costs no credits — and get a CV that is already filled in to edit, restyle and export for free. Run the health score or the AI rewrites on it when you want to see those, and they draw on the credits the free plan gives you.

What is different afterwards

  • You know what is wrong with your CV, ranked, instead of guessing — and you can re-check after every edit.
  • The systems that read it first can actually parse it, so a human gets the chance to.
  • One CV, four languages, without rebuilding the layout for any of them.
  • Changing template or reordering sections stops being a rewrite — the same content re-flows.
  • The free plan comes with 250 credits included — enough for 2 complete applications — and no payment details.
  • Your documents are stored encrypted and are never used to train AI models.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

A fair question, and the answer is not that it writes badly. It is that it starts from nothing every time, and an application is more than one document.

  • A general chatbotRewrites it, but never scores it
    preparAItorScored out of 100, ranked fixes
  • A general chatbotRe-paste your CV every time
    preparAItorUpload your CV once
  • A general chatbotCopy the posting across by hand
    preparAItorPaste a link or a PDF
  • A general chatbotOne prompt, one document
    preparAItorFive documents in one run
  • A general chatbotNothing tracks what you applied to
    preparAItorEvery application tracked for a year
  • A general chatbotYour chats may train the model
    preparAItorZurich-hosted, never used for training

The same goes for Claude, Gemini, Copilot or Perplexity — this is not about which one writes best, but about what a tool remembers between one application and the next. Training defaults vary by product and plan, and most let you opt out.

And when the CV is ready

One job posting turns it into the full application — cover letter, application email, interview questions and a job summary. Then practise the interview against that same posting, and keep every application tracked for a year.
