A rule opens each section and a lighter hairline closes each entry, so roles read as discrete bands rather than a run of paragraphs. Nothing else is decorated; the rules do all the structural work.
Drop in your resume and get it back in this design, ready to edit.
Free, and no account needed to start.
Use this when your experience section is long and dense and you want a reader to be able to find where one role stops and the next begins without hunting. The banding survives being skimmed in ten seconds.
Filled-in examples, so you can see how the design handles actual content.
Yes. Strata is built for applicant tracking software: no colour fills behind text, a clean top-to-bottom reading order and standard section headings, so a parser extracts the same content a person reads. You can confirm it on your own resume with our free ATS resume checker.
Yes, if you start your CV from this page: Strata then stays free to download for that CV. Picking Strata later, inside the app, is what needs Pro.
Yes. Strata is typeset in Typst, and the .typ file is on this page and in the template repo on GitHub. It is one self-contained file with no imports, so it compiles on its own with Typst 0.12 or newer. It is released under MIT-0, so you can change it and publish the result without crediting us.
Strata is set in Inter, in a single-column layout with balanced spacing. You can change the typeface, text size, spacing and accent colour after your CV is created.
Yes. Preview any template with your own CV, and start your CV here to download that design free. The other designs need Pro.
Yes. Your CV stays in your account, so you can rewrite the content, change the font size and spacing, and download a fresh PDF whenever you need one.
The designs marked ATS-friendly are built for it: no colour fills behind text, a clean reading order and standard section headings. Any CV you build can also be checked against a real parser with our free ATS resume checker, which shows you exactly what a screening system extracts.
A print-quality PDF, which is what nearly every employer and application portal asks for. The PDF keeps a real text layer rather than being an image, so screening software can read it and so can a screen reader.
In the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada and Australia, no. Employers there usually prefer no photo, and some screening processes strip them to reduce bias. In much of continental Europe and parts of Asia a photo is still conventional. Check the norm where you are applying, and leave it off if you are unsure.
The Typst source behind every design is public. Each one is a single .typ file you can download from its own page or read in the template repo on GitHub, and it compiles standalone with Typst 0.12 or newer. Most are MIT-0, and the few that are ports of existing Typst packages stay under their original licence, which the file itself states. Some are also being published as packages to Typst Universe.
One page if you have under roughly ten years of relevant experience, and always for students and graduates. Two pages are normal for senior, academic or highly technical roles. An academic CV is the exception and runs as long as your publication and funding record requires.
