Open it, then use your browser's **Print → Save as PDF** to get a tidy, one-margin PDF. Pick a **theme**, **accent color**, **font**, and **page size**; everything runs locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Prefer plain-text/ATS Markdown instead of a styled document? Use the sibling **Resume Builder** tool — this one is for a formatted, printable page. ### Worked example Input (`data`), with theme `modern`, accent `#2563eb`, font `sans`, page size `letter`: ```json { "name": "Ada Lovelace", "title": "Software Engineer", "email": "ada@example.com", "location": "London", "summary": "Pioneering engineer who wrote the first published algorithm.", "experience": [ { "role": "Engineer", "company": "Analytical Co", "dates": "1843–1852", "bullets": ["Wrote the first algorithm", "Designed loop constructs"] } ], "education": [ { "degree": "Mathematics", "school": "Private tutoring", "dates": "1830s" } ], "skills": ["Algorithms", "Mathematics", "Technical writing"] } ``` Output is a complete HTML document that begins: ```html Ada Lovelace — Résumé

Ada Lovelace

Software Engineer

… ``` with the name as an `

`, a contact line, and `Summary`, `Experience`, `Education`, and `Skills` sections styled with your blue accent — ready to print. ### The JSON shape All fields are optional except `name`: - `name`, `title`, `email`, `phone`, `location`, `links` (array) - `summary` — a short paragraph - `experience` — array of `{ role, company, location, dates, bullets[] }` - `education` — array of `{ degree, school, location, dates, details }` - `skills` — array of strings (rendered as chips) - `sections` — array of `{ heading, items[] }` for extras (Projects, Certifications, Awards, Languages, …) ### Style controls - **theme** — `classic` (serif, centered header, ink-ruled titles), `modern` (accent bar beside each section), or `compact` (tighter spacing for one-page fit) - **accent** — a hex value (`#2563eb`) or a CSS color name (`navy`); used for section rules and titles - **font** — `sans` or `serif` - **page_size** — `letter` (US Letter) or `a4`; controls the `@page` size used when printing ### Limits - Input must be a single **JSON object** (not an array or plain text). - `name` is required; every other field is optional and omitted sections don't render. - The output is HTML, not a PDF file — printing to PDF is a one-click browser step (there's no server-side PDF renderer). - All résumé text is **HTML-escaped**, so `<`, `>`, `&`, and quotes in your content show literally and can't inject markup.
How do I turn the HTML into a PDF? Copy or download the HTML, open it in your browser, and use **Print** (Ctrl/Cmd-P) → **Save as PDF**. The document ships with an `@media print` stylesheet and an `@page` size (US Letter or A4), so the printed page drops the on-screen shadow and background and uses clean margins. There's no separate export step — the browser's own print dialog is the PDF renderer.
Which JSON fields are required? Only `name`. A résumé without it is rejected with `a 'name' field is required`. Everything else — `title`, `email`, `phone`, `location`, `links`, `summary`, `experience`, `education`, `skills`, and `sections` — is optional, and any section you leave out is simply omitted rather than rendered as an empty heading.
How do I add Projects, Certifications, or Languages? Use the `sections` array. Each entry is `{ "heading": "Projects", "items": ["First project…", "Second project…"] }`, and each renders as its own titled section with a bullet list. That's the escape hatch for anything the built-in `experience` / `education` / `skills` fields don't cover — Awards, Publications, Volunteering, and so on.
What do the themes and accent color change? `theme` picks the layout: **modern** puts an accent bar beside each section title, **classic** uses a serif, centered header with ink-black rules (it ignores the accent color on purpose), and **compact** shrinks spacing so more fits on one page. The **accent** color drives the section rules and titles for the modern and compact themes — pass a hex value like `#22c55e` or a CSS color name like `teal`.
Is my data uploaded anywhere? No. The scaffolder is compiled to WebAssembly and runs entirely in your browser tab — your résumé details never leave your device.
Why won't my input parse? The input must be a single **JSON object**. The tool reports `invalid JSON` for syntax errors (a trailing comma, unquoted keys) and `expected a JSON object of résumé fields` if you paste an array or plain text. Note that `skills` is an array of strings and `experience[].bullets` is an array of strings — wrap multi-value fields in `[ … ]`.
