Ez-Resume

EzResume

A Chrome Extension (Manifest V3) that generates polished PDF resumes from your saved profile. No AI, no cloud sync, no API keys — your data stays local.

Fill out your professional profile once in the Options page, then open the Popup to generate job-specific PDFs with per-job overrides (subtitle, additional skills, location) and optional template-based cover letters.

Features

• Deterministic PDF generation — what you type is what you get. No AI hallucination.
• Structured profile form — name, contacts, summary, skills, experience (repeating), projects (repeating), education (repeating), certifications.
• Up to 3 resume profiles — maintain different versions (e.g., SWE general, ML-focused, management).
• Per-job overrides — subtitle, additional skills, location entered per-use, not persisted.
• Template-based cover letter — optional, uses your profile + popup fields (company, hiring manager).
• 4 resume layouts:
  • Professional — clean, balanced whitespace, standard corporate format (via popup.js)
  • FAANG — dense, metrics-heavy, skills-first (via popup.js)
  • Deedy — two-column compact layout (via resume-renderers.js)
  • Academic CV — multi-page academic/research format (via resume-renderers.js)
• No external dependencies at runtime — jsPDF is vendored. No API calls, no service worker.
• Privacy first — all data stored in chrome.storage.local. No data leaves your browser.

Enter per-job details (not saved between sessions):
