RenderCV is an open-source resume/CV builder that converts a YAML description of your CV into a professionally typeset PDF using Typst. It ships as a Python CLI and also powers a hosted web app at rendercv.com.
Use cases
- generate a pdf resume from yaml
- version-control my cv as plain text
- build an academic cv with clean typography
- create a resume without fighting with latex formatting
- produce industry-standard engineering resume templates
- keep resume formatting consistent automatically
When to choose
- you want a text-based, git-friendly CV workflow
- you prefer content over manual formatting and want polished PDF output
- you need academic or engineering-standard resume templates
- you want a scriptable CLI for generating resumes
When to avoid
- you need a drag-and-drop visual resume editor
- you require highly custom layouts beyond the provided themes
- you need DOCX output rather than PDF
