Templates and layout
14 LaTeX templates for different fields, plus spacing and font size presets.
Choosing a template#
Pick a template when you create a resume, or switch any time from the template menu in the editor; your content stays the same. Browse them all on the templates page, filtered by field.

Spacing and font size#
Open Layout next to the template menu to choose Compact, Normal or Relaxed spacing and 10, 11 or 12 point text. Normal keeps each template exactly as designed. Layout applies to form resumes; a LaTeX resume is your own document, so it sets its own spacing.
Space between sections and entries#
To add room after one section or one entry, like a single project, open its ⋯ menu and choose Space below: None, Small, Medium or Large. It changes only that spot, and works in every template. If the extra space pushes the resume past its page limit, the preview warns you and offers to remove it.
Your own templates#
Save any resume, or any LaTeX you have written, as a template from Templates in the app. It then appears as a starting point when you create a resume.
