The most interesting part about this app is… you can use it for free, but if you land a job, you’re pushed to make a donation to the developer.
Canva is probably the last app from this list that you’d think of when it comes to resumes. This is an app for graphic design, making collages, and making logos, essentially. So, how is this supposed to help you make a great resume? Well, as already mentioned, this is a graphic design app, so you can create some awesome-looking resumes.
The best thing is, this app is quite friendly towards new users. You don’t really have to be a graphic designer to use it like a pro, not at all.

You can start building your resume from scratch, or use an already finished design, and adapt it. You can add images, text, and even videos, if you want. Do note that not all employees prefer videos, and similar content, so be careful what you use. There are tons of tools / options in this app, so browse around before you start building your resume.
