Single column, plain text, no tables or images.
Paste the job description to begin.
Switch template at any point; the letter itself never changes, only its typography, header and spacing. Every one is single-column and text-based, so an applicant tracking system reads it the same way a recruiter does.

Use the resume or CV you already built on Resume Earth, enter a few facts from scratch, or choose Write it myself for a completely manual letter. When a saved resume exists, it is connected automatically — there is no upload or retyping step.
For a tailored draft, paste the full posting so the writer can identify its responsibilities, repeated keywords and seniority. The job title and company are optional refinements. Manual letters skip this step entirely.
Five tones, four career levels and three lengths control the writing. Nine ATS-safe templates control presentation, including month-first US and day-first UK formats, without changing your words.
Check the match guidance, edit the complete letter or refine one generated paragraph. Then copy it, print it, or download a PDF, Word document or plain-text file.

Warm and personable without losing substance. Good for support, community, education and non-profits.

The same evidence, different manners. A US cover letter format uses US Letter paper, a month-first date and no personal details; a UK cover letter format uses A4, a day-first date and closes “Yours sincerely” or “Yours faithfully” depending on whether you found a name. Continental Europe adds a sender block, a subject line and a formal register of its own. Pick your market and the generator sets the paper size, date style, layout, word target and greeting for it.
For applications in the United States, recruiters expect a concise letter paired with a resume.
For jobs in the United Kingdom, pair the letter with your CV and use British business-letter conventions.
Continental European conventions vary, but a compact formal letter and day-first date are dependable defaults.
Applying somewhere else? The generator still writes an international English letter on A4 or US Letter; the market only changes the conventions around it.
A cover letter is a promise about your own history, so the limits matter more than the features.
Every company, date, skill and figure in the letter comes from what you entered. A keyword the posting asks for and you do not have is listed as a gap in the insights panel, never written into the letter as though you had it.
“I am writing to apply”, “passionate about”, “proven track record”, “team player” and twenty other phrases are excluded from the writer entirely. If one appears in your own edit, the insights panel flags it with a better alternative.
Two paragraphs never open the same way and no slot is used twice, so a longer letter does not start sounding like a template filling itself in.
The letter is composed in your browser and lives in this tab session only. It is not written to localStorage, not uploaded for generation, and not used to train anything.
Yes — free with no sign-up, no watermark, no page limit and no credit card. The letter is written on your own device, so there is no per-letter cost for us to recover. You can regenerate as often as you like.
A generic AI letter sounds like every other AI letter because it starts from nothing but the job title. This one starts from your posting and your own evidence: it extracts the keywords the posting actually repeats, ranks your achievements against them, and builds each paragraph around a specific result you supplied. If you have not told it something, it will not claim it.
Between 250 and 400 words for most US and UK applications — roughly three to four short paragraphs on one page. The length control offers Concise (150–210 words, good for application forms and email bodies), Standard (240–320) and Detailed (340–430, for senior roles and referrals).
Most applicant tracking systems store a cover letter rather than scoring it, but they do parse it, so the rules are the same as a resume: one column, no tables or text boxes, no images, ordinary fonts, real text. All nine templates here follow those rules — even the coloured-header ones, where the band is a background colour behind selectable text.
Professional is the safe default for corporate, finance, legal and public-sector roles. Modern suits product and engineering teams. Confident works well in sales and growth, where asserting results is expected. Friendly fits support, community, education and non-profits. Executive is for director, VP and C-suite applications, where scope matters more than enthusiasm.
Yes. Start from scratch with your name and a few real skills or achievements, or choose Write it myself to type the complete letter without a job posting. If you already built a resume on Resume Earth, the generator detects and uses it automatically instead of asking you to re-enter the same facts.
Ten: the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain. Choosing one sets the paper size (A4 or US Letter), the date style, the layout, the expected word range and — with local conventions switched on — the greeting, sign-off and subject line that market uses. Each country has its own guide under the generator, and every one of them opens the same free tool pre-set for that market.
The letter is written in English, because that is what an international application in those markets usually asks for — and what the job advert you pasted is probably in. What the market setting adds is the local form: the lettre de motivation structure and Objet line for France, the Anschreiben layout for Germany, the list motywacyjny salutation for Poland, the carta de presentación for Spain. Diacritics are handled properly in the PDF: when your name, the recipient or the greeting contains characters the standard fonts cannot draw, a Unicode font is embedded so nothing turns into a box or a stray letter.
It is the overlap between the posting's keywords and your profile, weighted by how often the posting repeats each keyword, plus whether you meet the years it asks for and whether your achievements carry numbers. It is a guide to how much of the posting the letter can honestly answer — not a prediction about a recruiter.
You should. Edit any paragraph on its own with the refinement buttons, or switch to plain-text mode and rewrite the whole thing. Your edits are used for copy, print and every download, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
No. The letter is composed in your browser and kept in memory for this tab session. It is never written to localStorage, never uploaded for the on-device generation, and never used to train a model. The optional AI enhancement sends your resume and the posting to this site's own endpoint and stores nothing.
A cover letter helps, but the resume does the screening. These free tools use the same job description you just pasted.
