How do I balance the portfolio link and the resume?

The resume gets one page of outcomes with metrics; the portfolio carries the process. Put the portfolio URL in the header and reference it from your strongest case-study bullet.

Is the UI/UX designer resume builder really free?

Yes. You can build the resume, run the ATS keyword check and export a watermark-free PDF during the current test phase — no subscription required.

Will the template pass real applicant tracking systems?

Yes. Every KlarCV template exports real, selectable text with standard section headings — no text-in-images, no multi-column parsing traps. You can verify it yourself with the built-in ATS check before you apply.

Ui ux designer portfolio resume builder: templates, keywords and bullet points that get interviews

A UI/UX designer resume is screened twice: first by an applicant tracking system matching keywords, then by a hiring manager scanning for proof. KlarCV handles both — an ATS-safe layout that keeps every word machine-readable, plus an AI bullet assistant that turns your Figma and design systems work into quantified achievements.

Keywords ATS filters expect on a UI/UX designer resume

Paste the job ad into KlarCV and the match check shows which of these terms are missing from your resume. Typical UI/UX designer postings filter for:

Figma
design systems
user research
usability testing
prototyping
handoff documentation
WCAG

Bullet points UI/UX designer hiring managers actually read

Weak bullets describe duties; strong bullets prove impact. For UI/UX designer roles, the signals that move a resume to the interview pile are:

Conversion or task-success improvements from redesigns — quantify it (before → after, %, absolute numbers)
Research methods used (interviews, diary studies) — quantify it (before → after, %, absolute numbers)
Design-system adoption across teams — quantify it (before → after, %, absolute numbers)

Structure: what goes where

One page up to ~5 years of experience, two pages beyond that. Order: contact header with GitHub/portfolio link, a two-line profile summary naming your seniority and core stack, skills grouped by category, then reverse-chronological experience with 3–5 quantified bullets per role. Education and certifications close the page.
