short answers about creating, publishing and sharing your CV.
paper.cv is an online CV builder that turns your professional history into a simple web page instead of another file in a folder. you add your content once, publish it at paper.cv/yourname, and keep the same page current as your work changes.
yes. there is no paid tier or trial, and no credit card is required. you can create, publish, update, share and download your CV for free.
sign in with your email or google, choose an available username and finish setup. paper.cv/yourname is then ready for you to fill in and publish.
yes: upload a text-based PDF and paper.cv looks for roles, dates, skills and links, then shows what it found before anything is saved. replacements ask for approval, and you can edit the result afterward. image resumes and scanned PDFs use AI only when you opt in, as explained in the privacy policy.
because the format is not the point: your experience is. one structure makes a CV easier to write, scan and compare, and removes visual differences that say nothing about the work. we did not forget to add 300 templates; we remembered not to.
yes. the same page downloads as a clean, A4-ready PDF, and you decide whether visitors may download it too. we are not trying to start a war with attachments.
yes. changes go live at the same address as soon as you save them, so there is no new export or replacement attachment. if you change your username, the old address redirects to the new one for 90 days.
before you publish, visitors see only limited profile details. after you publish, the CV is public and may appear in search results and paper.cv discovery. there is no unpublish button; password protection replaces the CV with a lock screen, while stealth mode keeps the address public, removes it from paper.cv discovery and tells search engines not to index it.
linkedin is a network you join; paper.cv is the CV page you send when someone asks for it. they work together rather than replace each other. the paper.cv and LinkedIn comparison explains the difference in detail.
in part. read.cv shut down in 2025, and paper.cv continues the idea of a quiet professional page without trying to recreate its community or every feature. the paper.cv and Read.cv comparison explains what carries forward.
paper.cv was created by Çağdaş Yılmaz, a product designer, and is built with a small independent team. there is no large company or growth department behind it. meet the paper.cv team and read why it exists.
