Create a CV for free

On LYZY, you create your CV without paying and without a bank card. Here is what is free, what is paid, and how to go fast.

Creating your account, filling in your CV, trying the templates, importing your old CV: all of it is free. For your CV, you pay for one thing only, downloading the final PDF, and only when it is ready.

In Senegal, you pay with Wave or Orange Money. From any other country, by bank card.

What is free and what is paid

  • Free: your account, creating and editing your CV, every template, importing your old CV and previewing the result.
  • Paid: downloading the final PDF of your CV, and the cover letter generated by the editor.
  • The AI features (match score, adapting your CV to an offer, audit) are included in the subscription, with a free trial before you subscribe.

No subscription is needed to create and download your CV. The subscription is a prepaid pass, with no automatic renewal.

Create your CV in a few minutes

  • Create your account with your email address or your Google account.
  • Pick a template. You can change it at any time without losing what you wrote.
  • Fill in the sections: header, profile, experience, education, skills, languages.
  • Your CV saves itself while you write, as soon as your first name and email are filled in.
  • Look at the preview, correct it, then download the PDF when you like it.

How to write a CV, step by step

Import your old CV, as a PDF or Word file

Already have a CV? Import it: LYZY reads its content and sorts it into the sections of your new CV. All you have left to do is proofread, complete it and pick a template.

  • Accepted formats: PDF and Word (.docx).
  • Take the most recent version you have, even if you no longer like its layout.
  • Always check the result: dates, job titles and contact details.

Pay only when you download

You only pay when you download your CV as a PDF, once it is ready. Nothing is charged before, and nothing renews by itself.

  • In Senegal: Wave or Orange Money.
  • From any other country: bank card (Visa, Mastercard).
  • The payment is confirmed automatically, then your PDF is ready.

Want several CVs, or a CV and a cover letter? Packs cost less than buying one at a time. Prices are on the Pricing page.
