Koumastudio · Writing · Productivity
Plume is a free online resume builder that turns your work history into an ATS-friendly document in minutes. It ships 43 pre-filled templates, a drag-and-drop editor, an AI resume builder that rewrites your summary and tailors it to a job posting, and a PDF export with no watermark. You can also import an old resume as a PDF, Word file, photo or scan and let the tool fill in the fields for you.

About Plume
What Is Plume
Plume is a web-based resume builder from Koumastudio. Its pitch is simple: give job seekers a polished, recruiter-ready CV without design skills or a paid subscription. Every template is built so applicant tracking systems can actually read the text, which is the part most drag-and-drop builders get wrong. Does that matter? More than you'd think.
The editor is where Plume earns its keep. You can reorder sections by dragging them, hide or rename anything, add custom sections, and tune colors, fonts, line height and margins until the layout sits right. The preview paginates exactly like the final PDF, so a one-page resume stays one page once you download it.
The catch is that the most useful parts sit behind Pro. The editor, unlimited PDF export and ATS score are free, but the AI assistant and job-offer analysis need the €4.99 monthly plan. The free tier also caps you at 2 resumes. That's a real limit.
Getting Started
- Open the Plume site and create a free account with an email address. No credit card is asked for.
- Pick one of the 43 templates, or drop in an existing resume as a PDF, Word file, photo or scan and let Plume fill the editor automatically.
- Work through the sections field by field: experience, education, skills and any custom blocks you want to add.
- Run the ATS score, apply the one-click fixes, then fine-tune the design.
- Download the PDF and send it to recruiters.

Key features
AI Assistant and Job-Offer Analysis
The AI assistant rewrites your summary, tightens experience bullets and adjusts the whole resume to match a specific job offer. Its suggestions show up directly in the preview so you can accept or ignore each one as you go. This is Pro-only, and it's the main reason to pay.
Import From PDF, Word, Photo or Scan
Drop in an existing resume and Plume reads it, pulling out your experience, education and skills to fill the editor automatically. Scans and photos go through text recognition first, so you only need to double-check your name, email and phone afterward. Retyping an old CV is the single most tedious part of job hunting, and this skips it entirely.
43 Templates With Live Preview
Each template controls structure, layout, page background, colors and font pairing at once, so a single click reshapes the whole document. The catalogue renders every thumbnail with your own content, letting you judge the fit before you apply it. Switching templates never moves your text.
Drag-and-Drop Editor and Custom Design
Reorder sections, hide or rename them, and add custom blocks whenever the standard categories don't cover what you need. Colors, fonts, line height, margins and one- or two-column layouts are all adjustable, so you can shape a resume that looks deliberate rather than pulled from a stock design.
Pixel-Faithful PDF Export
What you see in the preview is what downloads. Plume paginates the editor exactly like the PDF, so a resume squeezed onto one page stays there. Export is unlimited and watermark-free on the free plan.
ATS Score With One-Click Fixes
Plume grades how well a resume reads to applicant tracking systems and suggests corrections you can apply in one click. Since most mid-size and large employers screen applicants with software before a recruiter ever opens a file, a low score can mean a human never sees your resume at all.
Free Tier Without Watermarks
The free plan covers the full editor, all templates, custom design, unlimited PDF export and 2 saved resumes. No credit card. No watermark on the output either, which is unusual for a free resume maker at this price.
Pros and cons

- Old resumes import from PDF, Word, photo or scan.
- The live preview matches the exported PDF closely.
- Pro costs €4.99 a month with no commitment.
Cons
- The AI assistant and job-offer analysis are Pro-only, so the headline AI features aren't in the free tier.

- There's no API, so you can't automate resume generation from another app.
- The site's default language is French, and English support is there but less prominent.
