# Preview & export PDF

> Edit against a live preview, then export a high-quality PDF in one click, ready to send.

The **live preview** on the right is exactly what your resume will look like — what you see is what you get. When you're happy, export a PDF.

## Export a PDF

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click “Export PDF”">
    Click the **Export PDF** button in the editor toolbar. It **generates the PDF locally** (you'll see "Generating PDF locally...") and downloads it when done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grab the file">
    On success you'll see **PDF exported successfully**, and the file is in your browser's downloads. That PDF is ready to send.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **The PDF is generated locally** — nothing is uploaded to a server. So it works offline, and your content never passes through our backend.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Before exporting, use **Zoom In / Out** to view the preview at 100% and read it through — check for content overflowing to a second page, date alignment, and similar small issues.
</Tip>

## You can also export JSON

Besides PDF, you can export the resume as **JSON** (the **JSON** panel in the editor → **Download JSON**). JSON is great for:

* **Backup**: keep a copy and [import](/en/guide/create-import) it back on a new machine/browser.
* **Moving content** between two resumes.

<Warning>
  While signed out you're in **local mode** and the resume lives only in this browser. **Export a JSON backup before you rely on it**, or [sign in and enable cloud sync](/en/guide/account) so clearing your cache doesn't wipe your work.
</Warning>
