# JSON to Resume

Generate professional resumes from JSON data with 4 beautiful templates. Export as PDF, PNG image, or HTML. Perfect for developers who want to manage their CV as structured data.

**Use this tool:** [JSON to Resume](https://findutils.com/generate/json-to-resume/)

## Programmatic access

- Browser-only: this tool works on a file, the DOM, or a browser API and has no REST or MCP id.

## Why Use JSON to Resume?

Keeping your resume in JSON format makes it easy to version control, update programmatically, and generate multiple formats. This tool lets you quickly visualize and export your structured resume data with four professional templates and multiple export formats including PDF, PNG, and HTML.

## Tips for a Better JSON Resume

- Put your most recent experience first. Reverse chronological order is the standard recruiters expect and applicant tracking systems parse best.
- Use the highlights array inside each experience entry to list specific achievements with measurable results, such as 'Reduced API response time by 40%' rather than vague duties.
- Keep your summary under three sentences. Hiring managers spend an average of six seconds scanning a resume, so lead with your strongest qualification.
- Include a skills array grouped by category. Separate programming languages, frameworks, and tools so the resume template can render them in organized sections.
- Always preview your resume in multiple templates before exporting. The Modern template works well for creative roles, while Classic and Executive suit corporate applications.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What sections can I include?

Include: name, title, contact info (email, phone, location), links (website, linkedin, github), summary, experience array, education array, skills array, and languages array.

### How do I format experience entries?

Each experience object needs: title, company, startDate. Optional fields: endDate (use 'Present' for current), location, description, and highlights array for bullet points.

### What templates are available?

Four templates: Classic (traditional single-column with skill pills), Modern (dark sidebar with accent colors), Minimal (clean typography with serif headings), and Executive (centered header with amber accents).

### What export formats are supported?

Export as PDF (with embedded Roboto fonts), PNG image (high-resolution 2x), standalone HTML file (with Google Fonts), or copy the HTML to clipboard for embedding.

### Can I use this JSON format elsewhere?

Absolutely! This format is similar to JSON Resume standard. You can use it with other tools or store it in version control alongside your code.

### Is my resume data private and secure?

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your resume JSON is never uploaded to any server. No account, and the file never leaves your device. Close the tab and the data is gone unless you saved the file locally.

### Can I customize the template colors or fonts?

The four built-in templates use fixed design systems optimized for readability and ATS compatibility. For full customization, export the HTML and modify the CSS directly in your code editor.

### Does this work with applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

The Classic and Executive templates produce clean, single-column layouts that parse well in most ATS software. Avoid the Modern template for ATS submissions since its sidebar layout can confuse automated parsers.

### What is the maximum resume length supported?

There is no hard limit. The PDF export renders all content across as many pages as needed. For best results, keep your resume to one or two pages by focusing on your most relevant and recent experience.

### How do I add a profile photo to my resume?

Add an "image" field to your JSON with a URL or base64-encoded data URI. Templates that support photos will display it in the header area. The Classic and Minimal templates do not show photos by default.
