Each AI generation consumes 18 credits. New accounts get a starting balance, and you can purchase more via one-time credit packs on the Pricing page (Basic, Standard, Professional, and Business). Checkout is handled securely through Stripe, and credits are delivered instantly once your payment is confirmed.
Yes. Add your own MuAPI key via the 'Add API Key' button in the navbar or by signing in with your key. With a custom key active, generations use your key directly and do not consume website credits (your balance shows as unlimited).
Yes, you can start with the Free tier which includes a starter credit balance so you can generate and preview resumes without paying. When you run out, you can either purchase a credit pack or add your own API key to keep generating for 0 website credits.
Yes. AI Resume Builder is optimized to produce clean, machine-readable resumes that pass Applicant Tracking Systems. We use standard section headings, avoid complex tables, and focus on keyword-rich, achievement-oriented content so your resume matches job descriptions effectively.
From the live preview, you can print to PDF natively via your browser, or download an editable Word (.doc) file. You can also generate a public share link that renders a clean, server-rendered version of your resume that anyone can view.
Once you generate a resume, use the share button to create a public link. Anyone with the link can view your professionally formatted resume online. Share it with recruiters, add it to applications, or link to it from your LinkedIn or portfolio.
Generated resumes are stored in your Creations Gallery automatically. From there you can reload a resume into the editor, duplicate it as a template, delete it, or grab its share link at any time.
Your account and resume data are stored securely in our database and only accessible to you when you're signed in. Public share links only expose a resume if you explicitly generate and distribute that link. We never sell your personal data.
There are 6 layout templates (Modern, Minimal, Creative, Simple, Compact, and Professional), plus 4 font families, multiple font sizes, and 6 accent color presets with a custom color picker — so you can tailor your resume to any industry or personal brand.
