Professional documents, assisted by AI. No account needed.
CVForge is a free and open source document builder for job seekers and academics. It combines structured editing, live preview, export tools, and Agent Mode in one focused workspace. No account is required.
Status Version 1.2.3 is available. Core editors and Agent Mode are stable. Feedback and contributions are welcome.
CVForge helps you create polished application documents with structured editing, AI assistance, live preview, and export tools.
Document types
Create resumes, academic CVs, and cover letters. Resumes and academic CVs support English and Chinese document modes. Cover letters currently support English document mode only.
Editing workflow
Fill in structured fields manually, or use Agent Mode to add content, polish wording, review changes, and improve a document through chat. Agent Mode can also follow project instructions and retrieve relevant excerpts from uploaded PDF, MD, or TXT reference files.
Agent Mode
Use Agent Mode as a writing partner inside the editor. It can understand the current document, edit content, ask focused questions, follow project instructions, search uploaded references, stream responses, highlight changes, and safely undo the latest agent edit. Model services are identified automatically. Compatible models can provide optional thinking controls and collapsed reasoning output.
Export and import
Preview your document in A4 format, then export it as PDF, PNG, or JSON. PDF export opens the browser print dialog and preserves selectable text with the same layout as the live preview. PNG export produces a lossless high resolution image. JSON files can be imported back into CVForge for later editing.
