SiftCV renders a markdown résumé or CV as a clean, print-ready PDF on a true Letter/A4 sheet. The sample loaded here was generated by an AI agent from a real résumé.
Quick start
Load your markdown — click Open .md… or drag a .md file onto the page.
Adjust the layout — page size, margins, font, text size, and accent color in the sidebar. The dashed red lines show exactly where each printed page ends.
Export — Export PDF (print) gives crisp, selectable text (choose Save as PDF in the dialog); Download PDF (image) rasterizes the sheet and downloads the PDF directly.
Turn a Word/PDF résumé into markdown
SiftCV reads markdown only . The recommended approach is a two-step agentic workflow : paste either prompt into any AI coding assistant (Claude, Codex, Copilot…) and attach your files.
Step 1 — build your master “source of truth” file
Attach your existing résumé/CV (docx or pdf) — plus any supplemental material you want considered, such as a personal site, a LinkedIn export, or older versions of your résumé — and paste:
Copy prompt
Step 2 — tailor it per job application
For each role, give the agent your master file and the job description:
Copy prompt
Every line in the generated file carries a hidden comment proving it traces back to your source résumé. SiftCV keeps these invisible in the preview and in the exported PDF.
