Frequently asked questions
Is the Cover Letter Maker free?
Yes. Writing, designing and downloading your cover letter as a PDF is free, with no watermark.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up or login, and everything runs in your browser.
Can I make a cover letter that matches my CV?
Yes. In the CV / Resume Maker choose Make a matching cover letter, or save your CV as a draft and choose Create from my CV here. Your name, contact details, photo and CV colours and fonts are copied. You can also pick any of the 40 CV themes from the Design panel.
Can I upload my existing cover letter?
Yes. Upload a PDF, DOCX, JPG or PNG file. The text is extracted in your browser, you review it, and it is placed into the sender, date, recipient, greeting, paragraph and sign-off fields with your wording unchanged.
Will it write my cover letter for me?
No. AI writing is not available because no AI writing service is configured, and the tool never invents text. It gives you a professional layout; the words are yours.
Can I add my signature?
Yes. Choose a typed signature in a script style, upload a PNG or JPG image of your signature, or leave it out.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4 and US Letter. Switch at any time; the preview and PDF update together.
How long should a cover letter be?
Usually one page: three to five short paragraphs. If your letter runs onto a second page, the tool tells you so you can shorten it or reduce spacing and margins.
Is there a template for online application portals?
Yes. Classic is a plain business letter with a simple reading order, which suits portals and applicant tracking systems. No tool can guarantee how every system reads a document.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On mobile the editor is split into Content, Design, Preview and Download tabs.
Is my letter private?
Your letter and uploads are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to a server. Drafts are saved only if you choose to, in this browser.
Can I edit my letter later?
Yes, if you save a draft in this browser you can restore it and keep editing. Keep the draft as well as the PDF if you plan to reuse the letter.
