Reactive Resume makes building resumes straightforward. Pick a template, fill in your details, and export to PDF—no account required for basic use. For those who want more control, the entire application can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure.

Built with privacy as a core principle, Reactive Resume gives you complete ownership of your data. The codebase is fully open-source under the MIT license, with no tracking, no ads, and no hidden costs.

Sponsors

Reactive Resume stays free, open-source, and independent because companies choose to support the work behind it. Thank you to every sponsor who helps fund hosting, maintenance, and continued development for the community.

Atlas Cloud supports Reactive Resume as a project sponsor. Atlas Cloud provides a unified AI platform for developers, with access to hundreds of models for chat, image generation, video generation, media processing, and GPU cloud workloads through one API key, one endpoint, and one billing account.

Self-Hosting

Reactive Resume can be self-hosted using Docker. The stack includes:

• PostgreSQL — Database for storing user data and resumes
• SeaweedFS (optional) — S3-compatible storage for file uploads

From v5.1.0 onwards — PDF generation now runs entirely client-side via @react-pdf/renderer. New deployments no longer require Browserless, Chromium, or any external print service as a dependency. The PRINTER_* and BROWSERLESS_* environment variables are no longer read and can be removed from your .env.

Pull the latest image from Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry:

# Docker Hub
docker pull amruthpillai/reactive-resume:latest

# GitHub Container Registry
docker pull ghcr.io/amruthpillai/reactive-resume:latest

See the self-hosting guide for complete instructions.
