Is Gytus completely free to use?
Yes, Gytus by Prineor is 100% free with no paywalls, trial limits, or watermarks. All 14 CV templates, 23 profession presets, and A4 PDF downloads are available immediately at zero cost.
Do I need to create an account or sign up to build a CV?
No account or email sign-up is required to use Gytus. You can open the builder, enter your career details, and download your finished PDF immediately without registering.
Is my personal CV data private and where is it stored?
Yes, your CV data is stored strictly inside your own web browser using localStorage on your device. Gytus runs client-side without a backend database, so your personal details, work history, and contact information are never uploaded to external servers.
How can I back up my CV or move it to another device?
You can export a portable JSON backup file from Step 13 (Export & Share) or from the My Saved CVs page. Import that JSON file into Gytus on any computer or phone to restore your entire CV layout and text.
Are Gytus CV templates ATS-friendly?
Yes, every Gytus template uses clean semantic headings, standard date formats, and selectable vector text when exported via the "Text PDF (ATS-friendly)" option. For strict enterprise Applicant Tracking Systems, we recommend single-column layouts like ATS Standard, Corporate Bordered, or Banking Navy.
How many CV templates and profession setups does Gytus include?
Gytus includes 14 distinct A4 CV templates and 23 profession presets. Choosing a profession automatically configures the most relevant CV sections and recommends tailored layouts for your industry.
Can I switch CV templates without re-typing my information?
Yes, you can switch between all 14 templates at any time with a single click. Your personal details, work experience, education, and skills remain intact and automatically reformat to the new design.
How do I download a selectable, ATS-readable A4 PDF?
Click "Text PDF (ATS-friendly)" in the builder header, mobile action bar, or Step 13 (Export). In your browser print dialog, choose "Save as PDF", set paper size to A4, set margins to None, and enable Background Graphics. This produces clean, selectable text that Applicant Tracking Systems can read and index.
What is the difference between Text PDF and Image PDF export?
"Text PDF (ATS-friendly)" preserves true selectable text and clean vector fonts that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can parse and index. "Download PDF (image)" takes a high-resolution snapshot: it looks visually identical, but text is embedded as an image and is not selectable.
Does Gytus work on mobile phones and tablets?
Yes, Gytus is designed mobile-first for 360px–430px smartphones and tablets. It features a dedicated Edit/Preview bottom bar, automatic A4 fit-to-width scaling, and touch-friendly controls.
Can I install Gytus and use the CV builder offline?
Yes, Gytus is an installable Progressive Web App (PWA) with a service worker that caches the application shell. Once loaded or installed to your home screen, you can edit your CV offline and your changes save locally on your device.
Can I customize accent colors, fonts, and section visibility?
Yes, Step 12 (Design & Style) lets you customize the primary accent color, switch between Sans-Serif, Serif, and Monospace typography, adjust text density, and toggle individual CV sections or photo display on or off.
What if I am a student or fresh graduate with no work experience?
Select the "Fresh Graduate" or "Student" profession preset in Step 1. Gytus will prioritize your Education, Academic Projects, Skills, and Achievements sections and provide starter bullet points tailored for entry-level applicants.
Who created and publishes Gytus?
Gytus is developed and published by Prineor as a free, privacy-first career utility for job seekers worldwide.
