Is the cover letter builder really free?

Yes. You can write, edit, copy, download and print as many cover letters as you like without an account or payment.

Is my information sent anywhere?

No. The letter is put together in your browser from the details you type. Your answers are remembered on this device only, so you can come back and change them.

Can I change the letter after it is created?

Yes. The letter is fully editable. Once you edit it, your changes are kept; use "Rebuild from form" only if you want to start again from your answers.

How long should a cover letter be?

Keep it to about 250–400 words on a single page: an opening that names the role, one or two paragraphs with your most relevant skills and a real achievement, and a short closing.

Should I send it as a letter or in an email?

If you apply by email, choose the email format: it adds a clear subject line and a shorter sign-off, and you can paste it straight into the email body with your resume attached. For job portals and printed applications, use the letter format.

Do I still need a resume?

Yes. A cover letter introduces you; the resume shows the detail. You can build your resume for free with our builder and only pay if you want to download the PDF.

How to make your cover letter stand out

The builder gives you a clean, well-structured first draft. Spend five more minutes making it yours — recruiters can tell when a letter was written for their job.

Name the role and company in the first line, and the hiring manager if the advert gives a name.
Use the job advert's words for skills you really have, so both people and ATS software spot the match.
Add one result with a number — time saved, sales grown, students taught, users served.
Keep it to one page (about 250–400 words) and check the spelling of the company's name.
Send it with a matching resume that uses the same job title and skills.
