Make your resume look like yours, without breaking the ATS

Color, type, size and spacing are yours to tune, live, in one panel: 55 templates, 13 accent presets plus any custom color, five typeface options and three spacing levels. Text stays real and headings stay standard, so a sharper look never costs you the parse.

Watch how it works

  • Fit your resume on one page

    0:36

    Fit to one page keeps your template and tightens spacing and type until the resume fits. When it needs more room, Ruubu suggests a Compact layout.

  • Change the accent color, or pick your own

    0:22

    Choose one of 13 accent colors or type any hex code, and the preview updates as you click. A contrast check tells you if the color is readable on white.

One click changes everything but the words

These are real renders of the same content. Only the template, color, typeface and spacing change.

Fine control over the look, without breaking the parse

Pick a template, choose a color, set the type: all live, all in one panel. Design choices change color, type and spacing only, so each layout keeps the structure an applicant tracking system reads.

SampleThe Design panel in the Ruubu editor: 13 accent colors plus a custom color, font, body text size, line spacing, margins and date format

Color, type and spacing never turn text into images or tables, and the size never drops below a readable point size.

  • Typeface and size

    Keep the template's own typeface or switch to sans, serif, mono or rounded, then set the size to small, medium or large. The layout reflows instead of breaking.

  • Line spacing

    Compact to fit a dense career on one page, relaxed for an airier read. The page reflows live as you choose.

  • Spell check

    Spell check runs in the editor and is on by default, so a typo is caught before the file goes out.

Design questions, answered

Do colors, fonts or spacing hurt my ATS score?

No. Design choices change color, type and spacing only: text stays real and selectable, headings stay standard, and the layout keeps the structure it was built with. The few photo layouts that are not meant for US applicant tracking systems are marked as such, and the size never drops below a readable point size.

Can I use my own brand color?

Yes. Alongside 13 presets, the custom color picker accepts any hex value, and the text shade is darkened automatically until it passes WCAG AA contrast, so a bold accent never becomes unreadable.

Will the PDF and Word download match what I see?

The editor preview and the exported PDF come from the same renderer, so what you style is what you download. The DOCX carries your font, size and spacing choices too.

Where do I change all this?

Open any resume in the editor and select Design. Accent color, custom color, typeface, size, line spacing and spell check sit at the top of the panel, with the full template library below.
