FAQ

Is the Bold template really free?

Yes. Every template, every customization option, and every export format is free. There is no sign-up, no paywall, and no watermark.

Will it pass ATS screening?

Yes. The Bold template uses a clean structural layout that ATS parsers handle reliably. For maximum compatibility, also export a TXT version using the Export TXT button.

Can I switch templates later?

Absolutely -- your form data is preserved. Open the builder, click any template thumbnail, and your content re-flows instantly.

Bold makes a statement when the audience expects one

The Bold template uses a high-contrast banner across the top, larger weight typography, and a darker accent that draws the eye. It is the loudest of the templates, intended for contexts where a confident visual is part of the message.

Best fit

• Senior creative roles (creative director, brand lead, marketing leader).
• Founders, fractional leaders, consultants, and advisors.
• Speaker, conference, or media-facing professional sheets.

Use with care

Bold is not the right choice for ATS-heavy enterprise pipelines or conservative industries. If you are unsure, switch to Modern or Classic in one click — your form data carries over instantly.
