Cover Letter Builder That Starts from Your Resume

Edesy Resume drafts a cover letter from two things you already have: your resume and the job posting. Choose the tone and length, edit the draft, and download it as PDF, Word or plain text. Free accounts can keep 3 cover letters.

What the cover letter builder does

Built from resume plus job posting

The draft connects experience from your resume to what the posting asks for, instead of a generic letter that fits any job.

Three tones

Choose professional, warm or confident, depending on the company and role you are applying to.

Short: 180-250 words

Three paragraphs. Good for online application forms, email applications and roles where recruiters skim.

Medium: 280-380 words

Four paragraphs. Room to explain a career change, a relocation or a project that is directly relevant to the role.

Edit before you send

The draft is a starting point. Adjust any sentence, add the hiring manager's name and make it sound like you.

PDF, DOCX or TXT

Download a PDF to attach, a Word file if the employer asks for one, or plain text to paste into a portal form.
