RenderCV: Write Your CV in YAML and Export to PDF with Perfect Typography

📄 RenderCV: Your CV in YAML, Always a Perfect PDF

Tired of fighting with Word or LaTeX to update your resume? RenderCV is an open-source tool that converts a YAML file into a PDF with flawless typography and consistent design.

⚙️ How it works:

Describe your CV in YAML and run a command:

rendercv render My_CV.yaml  # → print-ready PDF

✨ What makes it special:

• 🎨 Multiple themes — Classic, Engineering Resumes, Moderncv, Sb2nov and more
• 🧩 JSON Schema — Autocomplete and inline documentation in VS Code
• ✅ Strict validation — If YAML is wrong, it tells you exactly where
• 🌍 Multilingual — locale field to generate versions in multiple languages
• 🔀 Git-friendly — Your CV lives in plain text, fully versionable

Requires Python 3.12+. Open source, MIT license.

💡 Quick explanation

YAML is a human-readable text format, similar to JSON but easier to write. RenderCV uses it as the CV’s source of truth and automatically generates the PDF with perfect design. Like source code, but for your resume!
