Pick a template, fill in your details, and export to PDF. Basic use needs no account. If you want more control, you can run the whole application on your own infrastructure.

You own your data. The codebase is open source under the MIT license, with no tracking, no ads, and no hidden costs.

Self-Hosting

Reactive Resume can be self-hosted using Docker. The stack includes:

• PostgreSQL — Database for storing user data and resumes
• SeaweedFS (optional) — S3-compatible storage for file uploads

From v5.1.0 onwards — PDF generation runs entirely client-side via @react-pdf/renderer. New deployments no longer need Browserless, Chromium, or any external print service. The PRINTER_* and BROWSERLESS_* environment variables are no longer read and can be removed from your .env.

Pull the latest image from Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry:

# Docker Hub
docker pull amruthpillai/reactive-resume:latest

# GitHub Container Registry
docker pull ghcr.io/amruthpillai/reactive-resume:latest

See the self-hosting guide for complete instructions.
