Resume Templates

A resume is essentially a job seeker's first impression to any potential employer, so it's important to have one that's both attractive and professional. Your resume has to catch attention and present you in the most positive light possible. Get a step up from the competition and impress your future employer by using Canva's collection of professionally-designed resumes.

Whatever industry you wish to get into, Canva has a layout that will fit your needs. Browse through our wide collection of templates — from image-heavy templates perfect for architects and designers to more colorful layouts for advertising and marketing professionals, there is a wide array of ready-made templates perfect for any profession or position, free to use as is or as a starting point for your design.

Start by uploading your own photo using Canva's drag and drop image uploader. Use the frame or grid tool to contain your photo or crop if need be. With hundreds of fonts to choose from, you can let your personality shine by choosing a script-like font for your name and pairing it with a simpler font for the rest of the design. Create a border or add lines by searching through the elements tab to make important details stand out. Make your resume more visual by adding charts and icons to summarise important information. Once you've got a winning resume, you can download your resume as a JPEG, PNG, standard PDF or print-ready PDF file.
