How to edit a CV that is in PDF

Three steps. No copy-pasting, no retyping your career.

1
Upload your CV
Choose the PDF, or take a photo of a printed CV. Designed and scanned CVs work too.
2
Check what was read
Your details, jobs, education, skills and languages land in the right sections. Read each one and fix anything that came across wrong.
3
Update and download
Add your latest job, rewrite what is out of date, pick a template and download a new PDF.

Why not just edit the PDF itself?

PDF editors change text, not layout

They are fine for a typo. Add a new job and the lines no longer fit, fonts go missing and the page breaks in the wrong place.

Converting to Word breaks the design

A PDF turned into Word comes back as loose text boxes. Most of the time spent "editing" goes into repairing the layout.

Here the design follows the content

Your CV becomes structured content. Change the template, the colours or the CV language at any time and everything reflows on its own.

Improve it while you are at it

AI suggestions propose bullet points, a profile summary and skills for your role. They are free on your first CV.

What we read from your CV

Name, contact details and job title
Your profile or summary
Work experience: role, employer, city, dates and description
Education, with dates and details
Skills and languages, with their levels where the CV gives them
Certificates, courses, projects, awards, references and hobbies

Word files: save them as PDF first. Nothing is perfect on a first read, so look over each section before you download.

Have a Europass CV in PDF?

Europass saves CVs only as PDF, so updating one usually means going back to the form or typing it all out again. You can upload the Europass PDF here like any other CV.

Your details, work experience, education, skills and certificates arrive already sorted into sections.
CEFR language levels (A1 to C2) carry over, as one level per language that you can adjust.
The result is a modern CV in a template of your choice, more compact than the Europass layout.

If a job or a public competition asks for the Europass format itself, update that version in the Europass editor at europass.europa.eu. Many people keep both.

When to use Europass and when not to

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit a CV that is in PDF?

Yes. Upload the PDF and its content is turned into an editable CV: every section, every line. You change what you need and download a new PDF.

Is it free?

Importing and editing your CV are free. Downloading the finished PDF needs a download pack or the Pro subscription.

Will my CV keep its old layout?

No, and that is the point: your content moves into one of our templates, which you can change at any time. If you liked the old design, pick the template closest to it.

Which files can I upload?

PDF files and photos or scans of a CV (JPG, PNG, WebP), up to 10 MB. For a Word file, save it as PDF first.

What happens to my file?

It is read by our AI provider, Anthropic, which returns the content of your CV to us. We do not keep the file, only what then appears in your CV. Anthropic does not use it for training and deletes it within 30 days.

How long does it take?

Reading the CV usually takes under a minute. Checking the result and updating it is up to you: most people are done in ten to fifteen minutes.

Can I edit a Europass CV that is in PDF?

Yes. Upload the Europass PDF like any other CV and its content becomes an editable CV in one of our templates. If an application asks specifically for the Europass format, update that version in the Europass editor instead.

Are my Europass language levels kept?

Yes. CEFR levels from A1 to C2 are carried over. Where the Europass grid gives separate levels for listening, reading, speaking and writing, you get one overall level per language, which you can change.
