# Cover letter builder — matching PDF, no upload

> Write a professional cover letter that matches your resume header and export a clean PDF. A guided open-body-close structure, all on your device with no upload.

Write a professional cover letter that shares your resume's header for a consistent, branded application, then export it as a clean PDF. A guided structure helps you open strongly, make your case, and close — all created on your device.

A cover letter's job is to connect your resume to one specific role — which is why generic, uploaded-to-a-service letters fall flat. Composing it locally alongside your resume header keeps the pair consistent and keeps your draft private while you iterate.

The guided structure removes the blank-page problem: a hook that names the role, a body paragraph with one real accomplishment that maps to the job, and a close that asks for the interview. Keep it to a page and tailor the specifics each time.

Build the matching resume in the Resume Builder, check the resume against the posting with the ATS Checker, and archive both as JSON with Import & Export.

## How to

1. **Reuse your header.** Pull in your resume's name and contact block for a matching look.
2. **Address the role.** Enter the company and role, and the guided sections prompt each part.
3. **Make your case.** Draft the opening, body, and closing with structure hints.
4. **Export PDF.** Download a polished, matching PDF.

## FAQ

### How long should a cover letter be?

One page, three or four short paragraphs: why this role, what you bring with a concrete example, and a confident close. The guided sections keep you to that shape.

### Does it match my resume?

Yes. It reuses your resume's header (name and contact details) so the letter and resume read as one coherent, professionally branded application.

### Can I write different letters for different jobs?

Yes — tailor the company, role, and body for each application and export a separate PDF each time. Tailoring per role noticeably improves response rates.

### Is my letter uploaded anywhere?

No. The letter is composed and rendered to PDF in your browser, so its contents stay with you.
