FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Resuby — pricing, ATS, AI features, privacy, and more. Can't find an answer? Email support.

Pricing & plans

Is Resuby really free?

Yes. Resuby is free forever for core features: unlimited resumes, all ATS templates, AI bullet-point rewriting (20/day), PDF export with no watermark, and real-time preview. Premium (₹199/month) unlocks unlimited AI rewrites, cover letters, and DOCX export — but you never need Premium to build and download a great resume.

Do I need to add a payment method to try Premium?

No. You can use every free feature without entering any payment info, ever. Premium is a separate optional upgrade with its own checkout flow.

Is there a student discount?

Yes — 50% off Premium forever. Email support@resuby.app from your .edu or .ac.in address and we'll apply the discount within 24 hours.

Can I cancel Premium anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account settings and keep Premium until the end of your billing cycle. No cancellation fees, no questions asked.

ATS & templates

Are Resuby templates ATS-friendly?

Every template is tested against Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Taleo, and Naukri RMS. They use single-column layouts, standard fonts, semantic section headings, and text-based PDF export — every ATS best practice baked in.

Which template should I use as a fresher?

Start with Minimal, Student, or Modern. All three prioritize education, projects, and skills above experience — exactly what fresher recruiters look for.

Can I switch templates without losing my content?

Yes. Switch between any template anytime and your content stays intact. Only the layout, colors, and typography change.

Can I customize colors and fonts?

Yes. Every template supports color and font customization. Free users get 4 color options per template; Premium users get unlimited colors and 12 additional fonts.

AI features

How does the AI bullet-point rewriter work?

Describe your role or task in plain English ('helped with backend') and Resuby's AI rewrites it as a recruiter-ready bullet with action verbs, quantified impact, and role-relevant keywords ('Built and shipped 3 REST APIs serving 50k daily requests, reducing p99 latency by 40%').

Does the AI use my personal data to train models?

No. Resuby sends your input to our AI provider (Google Gemini / Groq) for inference only. We don't store your resume content beyond your current session, and it's never used for model training.

Can I use Resuby without AI features?

Absolutely. Every template, export, and editing feature works without touching AI. AI is a helper, not a gatekeeper.

Privacy & data

Where is my resume data stored?

By default, resumes are stored locally on your device. If you create an account, they sync to Firebase (encrypted at rest, in transit, and restricted to your user ID) so you can edit across devices. You can delete your account and data anytime from settings.

Does Resuby sell my data or share it with recruiters?

Never. We don't have a recruiter marketplace. We don't sell profiles. We don't even have email marketing on by default.

Is Resuby GDPR compliant?

Yes. You can request a data export or account deletion from settings at any time. We store only the data you provide and nothing else.

Import & export

Can I import my existing resume?

Yes. Upload any PDF or DOCX and Resuby's AI extractor pulls out every section (education, experience, projects, skills) into an editable format in under 10 seconds. Works even with image-only resumes via OCR.

What file formats can I download?

Free users: PDF (unlimited, no watermark, optimized for A4 and US Letter). Premium users: PDF, DOCX, and plain TXT.

Can I share my resume as a link?

Yes. Every resume has a public shareable link you can send to recruiters. Premium users can track views and see which companies opened their link.

Resume writing tips

How long should my resume be?

For most professionals, a 1-page resume is ideal. If you have 10+ years of relevant experience, a 2-page resume is acceptable. Resuby's templates automatically adjust spacing to help you fit your content perfectly.

Should I include a photo on my resume?

In the US, UK, and Canada, it's generally recommended NOT to include a photo to avoid unconscious bias. However, in some European or Asian countries, it's common. Resuby offers templates both with and without photo slots.

What is the best font for a resume?

Stick to clean, sans-serif fonts like Inter, Roboto, or Helvetica. These are easily readable by both human recruiters and ATS software. Resuby uses high-readability fonts in all templates.

Should I include my GPA?

If you are a student or recent graduate with a GPA above 3.5 (or 8.0 CGPA), definitely include it. If you have more than 2 years of work experience, GPA becomes less relevant and can be omitted.

Security & infrastructure

Is my data encrypted?

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard AES-256 and SSL/TLS. Your resume data is restricted to your account and never accessed by Resuby staff without your permission.

What AI models do you use?

We use a mix of Google Gemini Pro and Groq (Llama 3) to provide the fastest and most accurate bullet-point rewriting and resume extraction.

Can I self-host Resuby?

No, Resuby is a managed SaaS platform. However, for enterprise teams of 50+, we offer dedicated private instances. Contact support for details.

Refunds & billing

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. If you're not satisfied with Resuby Premium, email support@resuby.app within 7 days of your purchase for a full refund. No questions asked.

Do I get a receipt for my purchase?

Yes, an itemized PDF receipt is automatically sent to your registered email address immediately after any successful payment.

Is the ₹199/month price permanent?

Once you subscribe, your price is locked in for the life of your subscription. Even if our prices increase in the future, yours won't.

Platforms & devices

Which platforms does Resuby run on?

Web (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), Android (Play Store), and iOS (App Store). All three share the same templates and content — edit on web, continue on mobile, all synced in real-time.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The web app runs in any modern browser. Mobile apps are optional if you prefer native.

Does Resuby work on tablets?

Yes! Resuby is fully responsive and works great on iPad and Android tablets. The larger screen makes editing even easier than on a phone.

Does Resuby work offline?

The mobile apps work fully offline with local save. The web app requires a connection for AI features and sync but the editor works offline after first load.

Account management

Can I use Resuby without an account?

Yes. You can build and download your resume without ever signing up. Your data is saved locally in your browser. However, we recommend creating a free account to sync your work across devices.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account. This will permanently remove your profile, all resumes, and synced data from our servers. This action is irreversible.

Can I change my account email?

Currently, account emails are linked to your sign-in provider (Google/Apple). To use a different email, you would need to create a new account.

Collaboration & sharing

Can I password-protect my shared resume link?

Yes. Premium users can enable password protection for public links to ensure only authorized recruiters or employers can view their profile.

Can I see who viewed my resume?

Premium users get access to detailed analytics, including view counts, geographic location of viewers, and which device was used to view the resume.

Can I collaborate with a career coach on my resume?

While we don't have a real-time 'multiplayer' mode yet, you can share your public link with your coach for feedback, or export your resume as a JSON file for them to import and edit.

Career growth & cover letters

Does Resuby generate cover letters?

Yes. Premium users can use our AI Cover Letter Generator which analyzes your resume and a job description to write a perfectly tailored cover letter in seconds.

Can I create different resumes for different jobs?

Absolutely. We encourage it! You can create unlimited resumes for free, allowing you to tailor your applications for every specific role you apply for.

Do you offer interview preparation?

While we focus on resumes, our 'ATS Resume Guide' section (accessible from the footer) contains valuable tips on how to prepare for interviews after your resume gets you in the door.
