Tailor your resume to a job description with AI, free

Updated September 2026

Sending the same resume to every job is the fastest way to get filtered out. Paste the job ad into Folium and the AI shows which of its keywords your resume already has and which are missing, then creates a tailored copy of your resume and a cover letter draft. It's free with a free account, and downloading the PDF or Word file is never behind a paywall.

What tailoring a resume actually means

A tailored resume keeps your real experience and changes how it's presented:

  • It uses the ad's own words for skills and tools you really have, so an ATS and a recruiter can match them.
  • It puts the most relevant achievements first in each role and in your skills.
  • It adapts the summary to the role you're applying for.
  • It never adds experience you don't have: jobs, dates, degrees and certifications stay exactly as they are.

Keep one master resume with everything, and create a tailored copy for each application. Review every change before sending: the AI suggests, you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Is AI resume tailoring really free?

Yes. It needs a free account, and the AI tools (analysis, tailoring, cover letter, import, translation) share 300 actions every 30 days, with no credit card. Building the resume and downloading the PDF or Word file is free and doesn't need an account.

Will the AI make up experience?

No. Roles, companies, dates, education, languages and certifications are restored from your original resume after the AI answers; it only rephrases and reorders bullets, skills and projects. The analysis may list keywords you don't have: add only what's true.

Can I paste a link to the job ad?

No, paste the text of the posting: many job sites block automated reading. If you can't select the text, for example in the LinkedIn app, attach a screenshot and the AI reads it.

Does tailoring change my original resume?

No. Folium creates a new copy named after the job, with the same template and photo, and shows what changed. Your original stays as your master resume for the next application.

What happens to my data?

Your resume is sent to the AI without your email, phone number or date of birth, and Folium asks you to confirm once per session before the first AI request. The tailored copy is saved like any other of your resumes.
