Best LinkedIn-to-Resume Converters for PDF and Word
Six ways to turn a LinkedIn profile into a resume file, compared on import method and what you can actually download. By the developer of one of them.
Published by ExportMyResume, one of the products compared. Competitor pages were re-checked on October 13, 2026, and the rows below reflect what they said that day — three of them had changed since the first check on September 6. One exception: Teal’s pricing page could not be retrieved on October 13, so its figures still carry the September 6 date and are marked as such. This comparison covers documented features and plan limits; it does not include hands-on import, AI-output, or paid-export testing.
Start with two questions: can the tool read the source you have, and does its plan let you download the file you need? A free PDF download and a free LinkedIn import are separate features.
Getting the profile into the builder
| Product | Input method | Public profile required? | Section coverage and checking |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Save to PDF | Built-in profile export | No public-URL importer involved | Check the generated file for omitted or shortened content |
| ExportMyResume | Extension reads your own signed-in profile, or upload the Save to PDF file | No | Basics, About, experience, education, skills, languages, certifications, awards, projects, volunteering, publications; compare long lists with the profile |
| Resumonk | LinkedIn URL | Yes | Import is on every plan, but the free tier gets “a recent copy of your profile” while paid plans use “your latest profile” |
| Kickresume | LinkedIn URL; import is Premium | Yes | The referenced product page does not enumerate every imported section |
| Rezi | Chrome extension or existing PDF/DOCX resume | No public profile requirement stated for the extension | Vendor describes professional information; check the imported entries |
| Teal | LinkedIn URL, resume file, or pasted text | Yes for the URL route | Help names experience, skills, and education and advises checking for gaps |
The source descriptions are Resumonk’s import guide, Kickresume’s LinkedIn builder, Rezi’s creation guide, and Teal’s import help.
A profile can have a URL without exposing enough content publicly for a URL importer. That is different from a language limitation. Check the vendor’s supported languages separately; a non-English profile is not automatically inaccessible by URL.
Download formats and free-plan limits
| Product | Free PDF | Word / DOCX | Branding and paid boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Save to PDF | Yes, where available | No built-in DOCX export | LinkedIn’s layout; limited customization |
| ExportMyResume | Yes, during the launch offer; sign-in required | No subscription needed: PDF, Word, and clean PNG after sign-in; TXT, JSON, and multiple versions without an account | |
| Resumonk | Yes, with a “small Resumonk footer” | Paid plans; unavailable for photo templates | Free plan: 1 resume, 6 templates, one AI improve pass and one AI rewrite; latest-profile import needs a paid plan |
| Kickresume | Unlimited downloads with free options | Not established by the referenced pricing page | Four basic templates; LinkedIn and PDF import are Premium; branding not established here |
| Rezi | Three PDF downloads, one resume | Listed as included on the free plan | Further PDF downloads and more resumes require a paid plan; branding not established here |
| Teal | Vendor stated unlimited (Sep 6) | Vendor stated free, unlimited Word downloads (Sep 6) | Advanced keyword matching, design options, and AI usage are paid; branding not established here |
Sources: Resumonk pricing, Kickresume pricing, Rezi plan breakdown, and Teal’s resume builder. A missing detail in this comparison means the referenced source did not establish it; it isn’t evidence that the feature is unavailable.
Kickresume’s free plan can produce a PDF of a resume you enter manually, but it does not include LinkedIn import. Resumonk distinguishes a cached free import from importing the latest profile on its paid plans. Check dates and recent roles especially carefully if you use the cached route.
ExportMyResume’s import and manual editor are free without an ExportMyResume account. Free for now during the launch offer: PDF, Word, and PNG downloads without a watermark are also free after sign-in. JSON backups and multiple saved versions are free without an account. Try the editor without a subscription.
AI features and limits
| Product | Documented AI features | Free access |
|---|---|---|
| ExportMyResume | General cleanup, translation, skills consolidation, and tailoring to pasted posting text | Sign-in and daily run limit; Pro allows more runs |
| Resumonk | Rewrites and entry suggestions | One free improve pass and one free rewrite; the page states “No card, no trial clock” |
| Kickresume | AI writing and rewriting | Premium |
| Rezi | Resume writing, editing, summary writing, and analysis | Limited features and usage |
| Teal | Bullets, summaries, cover letters, and job-description matching | Two summary credits, two cover-letter credits, top-five keyword matching (Sep 6) |
Teal’s pricing table separates keyword matching from AI credits, and the free keyword matching row is limited to the top five. We described a ten-credit figure for bullets as an allowance on September 6; the wording elsewhere on Teal’s site suggests it is the credit cost of generating bullets rather than a grant. The pricing page would not load on October 13, so this is flagged rather than corrected.
ExportMyResume shows proposed edits before applying them, with suggested skills and tools unchecked. Pasting a posting adds tailoring and a fit check. Review rewritten sentences as well as new skill suggestions before accepting changes.
Paid prices at the time of checking
On October 13, 2026, Rezi listed Pro at $29 per month and Lifetime at $149 as a one-time payment — unchanged. Kickresume listed Premium at a regular €8 per month billed annually, with a promotional discount running that day; promotions come and go, so the regular price is the one worth planning around. Resumonk now presents Free, Professional and Executive plans, and its pricing page did not display the paid amounts when we loaded it, so we are not quoting a number we could not see.
Teal listed Teal+ at $13 per week with longer billing options on September 6; its pricing page returned an error on October 13, so that figure is the older one and has not been re-confirmed.
ExportMyResume’s launch offer currently includes these export and version features without a subscription. Pro provides a higher daily AI allowance; its current price is shown at checkout. Confirm the total charge and renewal period before buying any plan. A trial and an ongoing free tier are different offers.
When LinkedIn’s own PDF is enough
LinkedIn documents a desktop Save to PDF option for your profile or another member’s. It requires English profile and member-language settings, isn’t available in the mobile app, and may not be available to every member.
Use it when you need a profile snapshot and the generated file contains what the recipient wants. To change the selection of roles, wording, or layout, work in a resume editor. Compare the free PDF routes before choosing a builder solely for an export.
Already saved it? You can convert your LinkedIn PDF into an editable resume — the PDF carries fewer sections than the extension reads, for example only three skills.
Choose the input route that fits your source
Public profile, no extension wanted: a URL importer is a candidate. Check whether import itself is free and whether the source is current.
Your profile isn’t publicly readable: an extension that reads your signed-in profile avoids the public-URL route. ExportMyResume supports your own profile only. Read its permissions and data flow before installing.
You already have a resume: a file importer such as Rezi or Teal can start from that document. Accepting PDF as an input doesn’t prove that every LinkedIn export will parse completely, so compare the result with the source.
You need Word: confirm DOCX availability on the plan before entering the whole resume. Then inspect the downloaded Word file, since it can differ from a PDF preview.
After any import, count the experience and education entries, check dates and contact details, and inspect long skills lists. For ExportMyResume, the import walkthrough shows those checks in the editor.
