A Resume.io Alternative Without the Subscription Trap
Resume.io's $2.95 trial auto-renews into a recurring charge every 4 weeks unless you cancel in time — their own pricing page says so. CV Creator skips that entirely: no trial, no account, nothing that renews.
Already stuck in a Resume.io trial?
We can't cancel it for you, but Resume.io has a no-login cancellation form — you don't even need to sign back in:

|---|---|---|

| Account required | No — no login, no signup | Yes |
| Your CV data | Never stored on our server; lives in your browser, export/import as a JSON file | Stored in your account |
| PDF output | Real LaTeX typesetting (moderncv) | Web-based template rendering |
| Something to cancel later | No | Yes, if you don't cancel the trial in time |

Common questions
Do I need to cancel anything with CV Creator?
No. There's no account and no trial to begin with, so there's nothing to remember to cancel.
Does Resume.io's trial really auto-renew?
Yes, per their own pricing and help pages: the $2.95 trial converts into a recurring charge every 4 weeks unless you cancel first.
Does CV Creator store my CV data?
No. Your data stays in your browser's local storage. The server only sees it briefly while generating the PDF, then deletes the temporary file immediately afterward.
Is the PDF actually good quality?
It's typeset with LaTeX (the moderncv package), the same typesetting engine used for academic papers and professional documents — not an HTML page rendered to PDF.
