## What LinkedIn's PDF export leaves out

LinkedIn lets you save your profile as a PDF, but you get a printout of your profile, not a CV. Here is what a LinkedIn resume builder adds.

* A profile printout, not a CV  
LinkedIn's Save to PDF uses its own fixed profile layout.  
A real CV in any of 70 designs, with or without a photo, in PDF and Word.
* No check for hiring software  
Nothing tells you how an applicant tracking system (ATS) will read it.  
A free ATS check scores your CV and lists every issue to fix.
* Written for everyone, not one job  
Your profile describes your whole career for anyone who visits.  
Paste a job advert into the AI CV Agent and it aims your summary and skills at that job.

## Edit everything LinkedIn brought in

Importing is the start. Everything you need to finish and send the CV is in the same place.

* Edit every line  
Every section LinkedIn brought in is yours to change, add to or remove, on your phone or computer.

* Improve it with AI  
On the preview, describe a change (“shorten my summary”, “make my duties clearer”) and AI rewrites it. You check every change before you keep it.
* Aim it at a job  
Paste a job advert into the AI CV Agent. It shapes your summary and skills for that job and never adds skills you did not mention.  
[Open the AI CV Agent](https://www.cvchapchap.com/ai-agent)
* Check it before you send  
The free ATS checker scores your CV out of 100 and shows what hiring software would trip on.

* A LinkedIn resume builder turns your LinkedIn profile into a CV. Instead of typing everything again, you paste your profile link and it brings in your work history, education, skills and other sections, then gives you a CV you can edit and download.
* Paste your public profile link (linkedin.com/in/your-name) into the box at the top of this page and press Convert to CV. Your CV opens in a clean design with every section filled. Check it, add your phone and email, choose a design, then download it as PDF and Word.
* Not any more. LinkedIn's built-in resume builder is no longer available. LinkedIn can still save your profile as a PDF, but that is a printout of your profile in LinkedIn's layout, not a CV.
* On a computer, open your profile, select Resources (or More) under your name, then Save to PDF. On a phone, open linkedin.com in your browser and switch to the desktop site first: the LinkedIn app has no PDF option. You can upload that PDF here and we rebuild it as a CV.  
[Upload your LinkedIn PDF](https://www.cvchapchap.com/upload)
* Partly. Its text can be read, but it is laid out as a profile, with sections and wording written for LinkedIn rather than for one job, and nothing checks how a tracking system reads it. A CV built from the same facts, in standard sections, reads more reliably. Test any file with the free ATS checker.

* No. LinkedIn has one fixed profile layout and no CV templates. Once your profile is imported here you can switch between 70 CV designs in one tap and keep every word.
* Usually not on its own. Many employers ask for a LinkedIn link as well as a CV, but few accept it instead of one. A CV is shorter, aimed at one job and easy for hiring software to read, so send a CV and keep LinkedIn for recruiters who look you up.
* Employers decide on your CV and use LinkedIn to check it. Most applications ask for a CV or resume; recruiters then visit your profile to confirm your history and see how you present yourself. Keep both, with the same jobs and dates.
* Yes, if your profile is up to date and matches your CV. Put the short link (linkedin.com/in/your-name) with your contact details. When you import your profile here, the link is added to your CV for you.
* Yes, every line. Change the wording, reorder jobs, add missing sections, improve text with AI on the preview, or aim the whole CV at a job advert with the AI CV Agent. Your LinkedIn profile itself is never changed.
* Importing your profile, editing your CV, previewing it in any design and the ATS check are free. You pay only when you download the finished CV, one small payment shown at checkout. There is no subscription.
* No. We never ask you to sign in to LinkedIn. We read only what your public profile shows to anyone, from the link you paste.
* Then the link cannot be read. Make your profile public in LinkedIn's settings (Edit your public profile), or save your profile as a PDF and upload that file instead.
* No. We read your profile once to fill your CV and do not store it. Only the CV you build is kept, like any CV made on CV Chap Chap. Please import only your own profile.
