ATS-Friendly Resume Templates

7 clean, single-column resume templates designed for ATS compatibility and one-page formatting. Choose a style, customise colours and spacing, and export as PDF.

Most resume templates look great but fail ATS parsing — multi-column layouts, icons in headers, custom fonts that render as boxes. OnepageCV's 7 templates are designed ATS-first: single-column, standard headings, parsable contact info, and clean typography.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ats-friendly resume templates.

Are these templates really ATS-friendly?

Yes. All templates use single-column layout, standard HTML headings, parsable text (no images of text), and clean PDF export. No multi-column layouts, tables, or embedded graphics.

Can I switch templates after building my resume?

Yes. Switching templates preserves all your content — only the visual style changes. You can switch as many times as you want.

Which template is best for my role?

Classic and Blanc work for any role. Forge (blue header) suits tech roles. Terra (warm tones) works for creative roles. Obsidian (dark accents) is popular for senior positions.

Can I use these templates for free?

Yes. All 7 templates are free. Pro only adds unlimited AI features and removes the small 'Built with onepagecv.io' footer.
