FAQ
- Is the Elegant template free?
- Elegant is on the free plan — no payment needed to use it, including the PDF export.
- Is it ATS-friendly?
- Yes — every template renders to a single reading order an ATS parser can follow (no tables, no text-in-images), regardless of how visually different they look. The free resume check verifies this on your actual content, not just the template.
- Can I change the colors after picking it?
- Yes. Color is a per-resume setting, independent of which template you picked — every template supports live recoloring in the editor.
- What if it doesn't fit after I start?
- Switching templates keeps your content — headings, bullets, dates all carry over. You're not locked into the first one you try.
