One-Page It

Guides

Three guides, written from building a layout tool that condenses resumes onto one page. No templates to download and no sign-up: read the one that matches your problem, then fit your own file.

How to make a resume fit on one page

The order that works: cut the filler nobody reads, tighten the layout before cutting content, condense bullets instead of deleting them, trim a PDF's white border, then verify that nothing got clipped.

Resume too long? Shorten it without losing impact

A long resume is a selection problem. The cut list in order, three rewrite pairs, how long a resume should be, and what changes when you are changing careers.

One-page resume format: what to include and what to cut

The page as a budget: what each section gets, how the order changes for a new graduate versus a senior candidate, and the A4 vs US Letter difference that breaks layouts.

Fit your own resume to one page

Drop a Markdown, Word, plain-text or PDF resume into One-Page It: it fits the content to one page — A4 or US Letter — without clipping anything. Nothing is uploaded; the file never leaves your device.
