ATS-friendly resume templates
An applicant tracking system reads your resume as text. Layouts that keep headings standard and content in a clear reading order are the safest bet for online applications.
On Craftfolio every template carries an ATS label. The ones below are marked ATS-safe — and the PDF export keeps real, selectable text.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the ATS label mean on Craftfolio?
- It marks designs that use a straightforward reading order and live text so applicant tracking systems can parse them reliably. Designs without the label, such as those with coloured sidebars, favour visual impact for human readers.
- Does an ATS-safe template guarantee I pass screening?
- No. Parsing is only one part of screening. A readable layout removes a common obstacle, but relevance of your experience to the role still decides the outcome.
- Are these ATS-friendly resume templates free to use?
- Yes. Every Craftfolio template is free: create an account, pick a design, fill in your details and download a PDF or DOCX with no watermark.
- Can I change the template later?
- Yes. Your content is stored separately from the design, so you can switch templates, colours or fonts at any time without retyping anything.
