RESUME LINK GENERATOR
How to create a link for your resume
To create a link for your resume, upload it as a PDF, pick a name, and get one clean link for job applications, LinkedIn and email. Update the file later and the address stays the same, so every application you already sent shows the current version.
Free plan, free SSL, no credit card.

How it works
Three steps, start to live link
-
Upload your resume PDF
Drop the same PDF you already send. A ZIP of an HTML resume site works too. Nothing is reformatted: the link opens the exact file you uploaded.
-
Pick a name for the link
Choose the subdomain, usually your name, and publish. That short HTTPS address is the resume link you paste into applications and your profile.
-
Share it, then keep it current
Paste one link everywhere. When you improve the resume, re-upload it and the address stays the same, so applications already sent show the new version.
The plain answer
What is a resume link, and why do applications ask for one?
A resume link is a web address that opens your resume in a browser, with no download and no login. Applications and profiles ask for one because a link cannot arrive corrupted, cannot be blocked by an attachment filter, opens the same way on every device, and can be updated without anyone resending anything.
It also removes a small but real risk. A PDF attachment passes through mail servers and applicant tracking systems that may strip it, rename it, flatten it or refuse it on size. A link is a URL in a form field: it either resolves or it does not, and you can check that yourself before you paste it.
The part people underestimate is the update. Most job searches involve improving the resume several times, and every improvement makes every application already sent slightly out of date. When the address is fixed and the file behind it is not, a fix on Tuesday reaches an application sent last Thursday. That only works if the address never changes when you upload a new file, which is the behaviour this is built around.
Who it is for
The people who reach for this
-
Job seekers
One link in every application form, every profile and every email signature.
-
Students and graduates
A CV link for internship applications and university career portals, without paying for a portfolio host.
-
Designers
A resume and a portfolio at two clean addresses, or a designed resume kept as a PDF so the layout survives.
-
Developers
An HTML resume published as a real page, or a PDF alongside a project site.
In detail
What you actually get
The link survives every edit
This is the feature that matters most in a job search, and it is the one a file-sharing link usually gets wrong.
- Re-upload the improved resume and it is published at the same address.
- Applications sent weeks ago now show the current version.
- From Pro, an earlier version can be restored if you preferred it.
It opens like a document, not like a download
A recruiter opening your link should be reading within a second, on whatever device is in their hand.
- Opens in the browser reader on desktop and mobile.
- No account, no sign-in, no access request between them and the file.
- They can still download or print it.
An address that reads like you
The link is going into a form a person will look at. A readable subdomain is worth the ten seconds it takes to choose.
- Pick the subdomain yourself, subject to availability.
- From Pro, use a domain you own instead.
- HTTPS from the first publish, so no browser warning appears.
Public by default, private if you need it
A resume link is meant to be openable, but a job search is not always something you want indexed.
- Free sites are served noindex, so the document does not turn up in a search for your name.
- Password protection from Starter if you want it gated.
- You can unpublish at any time, and from Starter it can lapse on a date you choose.
No card required
What the free plan includes
Everything a resume link needs is on the free plan, with no card. A normal resume PDF is comfortably inside the limit.
- 1 live site on a real free plan, not a trial of a paid one, and no card to start.
- Up to 25 MB per upload and 25 MB of storage across the account.
- 5,000 visits and 5 GB of traffic a month.
- HTTPS with a real certificate, issued and renewed for you.
- Up to 15 publishes a day, so you can iterate without asking permission.
- The deploy-time security check, which reads what you published and warns about a stray .env file, a .git folder, a private key or an API key left in your JavaScript.
- A small Droply badge in the corner of the page. Removing it starts on Starter.
- Free sites are served noindex, so search engines do not list them. Search visibility starts on Starter.
- PDFs specifically are capped at 512 KB on the free plan, below the 25 MB limit that applies to everything else. Either way it is far above a typical resume.
A hosted link vs a Google Drive link
How this compares with sharing your resume from a drive
Most people paste a Drive link, and it usually works. These are the differences a recruiter actually experiences.
| Droply | Google Drive link | |
|---|---|---|
| What the recruiter sees | Your resume, in the browser reader. | The drive viewer wrapped around your resume. |
| What the address reads like | A subdomain you choose, usually your name. | A long opaque file identifier. |
| Risk of an access screen | None. The link is public unless you add a password. | A restricted share shows a You need access screen with a Request access button instead of the file. |
| Updating the resume | Upload the new file; the link is unchanged. | Manage versions, then Upload new version, keeps it. Uploading a new file does not. |
| Keeping it out of search | Free sites are served noindex. | Not designed to be indexed. |
| Password on the document | From Starter, one shared password checked at the edge. | No shared password. Access is per Google account, so everyone you want in needs one. |
| Your own domain | From Pro, $15 a month. | Not available. |
| Cost for this use | Free on the free plan. | Free within the drive storage allowance. |
Google Drive rows checked 8 September 2026 against Google's own Drive help pages: managing versions (Manage versions, then Upload new version; a version may be deleted after 30 days or once there are 100 newer ones unless you choose Keep forever), sharing and expiration (an expiry date is set per person, under the options for work or school accounts, not on an anyone-with-the-link share), and the You need access screen a person sees without permission. The rows describe how each approach behaves rather than what anyone charges. Product behaviour can change.
When Droply is the wrong choice
A resume link solves distribution, not the job search. Some things it is not.
- You want a personal site with an about page, projects and writing. Upload that as a static site instead, or start from publishing a portfolio.
- You want to know exactly who opened it and when. Analytics from Pro report visits, not identities.
- Your resume contains a home address or a phone number you do not want public. Remove it, or gate the link with a password.
- You need a database, a login system, or code that runs on the server. Droply serves files; it does not execute your application.
- You want a build to run on every push to a repository. Droply has no Git integration and no CI: you build locally and upload the result.
- You are running WordPress or another PHP application. A static export of it can be hosted here, but the application itself cannot.
