A built-in LaTeX resume editor that compiles to PDF

What it is

Resuby includes a real LaTeX editor for resumes. You edit LaTeX source directly, choose between the pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex engines, and compile to a finished PDF — all inside the app. Compilation runs on a remote LaTeX service, so there's no heavyweight TeX distribution to install and maintain on your own machine.

It's designed as a lightweight, free online Overleaf alternative for one job in particular: producing a sharp, typeset resume or CV. Your work auto-saves as you edit, and you can export the raw .texsource whenever you want — so you're never locked in.

• Resuby supports the pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex compilation engines.
• Compilation runs on a remote LaTeX service, so no TeX install is required.
• You can export the raw .tex source at any time and reuse it anywhere.
• The LaTeX editor is free to use; only downloading the final PDF is gated.

• Typesetting quality

  LaTeX produces precise spacing, kerning, and hierarchy that's hard to match in a drag-and-drop editor. Your resume looks deliberate and professional on every page.

• ATS-safe with a clean template

  A single-column LaTeX template built on standard headings and real text — not images — exports a text-based PDF that Applicant Tracking Systems can parse. The format is only as ATS-safe as the template, so start from a clean, single-column one.

• You own the source

  Export the raw .tex file any time. Version it, reuse it, or move it to another LaTeX workflow — your resume isn't locked inside a proprietary format.

• No install, no account juggling

  Skip the local TeX setup and a separate Overleaf login. Edit and compile in the same place you build the rest of your resume.

LaTeX resume editor FAQ

Is the LaTeX resume editor free?+

Yes. Editing LaTeX, switching engines, and compiling to PDF inside Resuby are free. As with the rest of Resuby, the only thing gated is downloading the final file — you unlock downloads by watching a quick rewarded ad or with a one-time unlock.

Do I need to install LaTeX on my computer?+

No. Resuby compiles your source on a remote LaTeX service and sends back the PDF, so there's nothing to install — no multi-gigabyte TeX distribution and no local toolchain. You do need an internet connection to compile, since compilation happens remotely rather than offline.

Which LaTeX engines are supported?+

You can compile with pdflatex, xelatex, or lualatex. Use xelatex or lualatex when you need custom system fonts (via fontspec) or richer Unicode support; pdflatex is a fast default for most resume templates.

Can I export the .tex source?+

Yes. You can export the raw LaTeX (.tex) source at any time, so you can version it, reuse it, or take it to another LaTeX workflow. You're never locked in.

Is a LaTeX resume ATS-friendly?+

It can be. A clean, single-column LaTeX template that uses standard section headings and real text exports a text-based PDF that an ATS can parse. Avoid heavy multi-column layouts or text rendered as images, and your LaTeX resume will be just as ATS-safe as any well-built template.

Is this an Overleaf alternative?+

For building a resume, yes. Resuby gives you an online LaTeX editor with remote compilation and a choice of engines, plus auto-save and .tex export — a lightweight Overleaf alternative aimed specifically at resumes and CVs rather than full multi-file academic projects.
