JSON Resume Editor
Visually edit and export resumes in the JSON Resume standard format.
About This Tool
The JSON Resume Editor is a visual form-based tool for creating and editing resumes in the JSON Resume standard format. Instead of manually writing JSON, you fill out structured forms for your personal information, work experience, education, and skills — the tool generates valid JSON Resume output in real time.
JSON Resume is an open-source standard for structuring resume data in a machine-readable format. The schema (jsonresume.org) defines sections for basics, work, volunteer, education, awards, certificates, publications, skills, languages, interests, references, and projects. Many resume-rendering tools and services accept this format.
The editor provides tabbed sections for the most commonly used resume fields: basic information (name, title, contact details, summary, location), work history (company, position, dates, summary, highlights), education (institution, degree, dates), and skills (category, level, keywords). You can add multiple entries in each section and remove them as needed.
All editing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server, no account is required, and nothing is stored remotely. Your resume data exists only in your browser session. For other document generation tools, see our README Generator, our Invoice Generator, or our JSON Formatter for general JSON editing.
The JSON output conforms to the JSON Resume v1.0.0 schema and can be downloaded as a resume.json file or copied to your clipboard for use with any JSON Resume-compatible rendering service or theme.

- The JSON Output panel on the right updates in real time as you edit.
- Click Download JSON to save the file, or Copy JSON to copy it to your clipboard.
