Verdict: Canva has thousands of free resume templates and a free PDF download, but it is a design editor: it does not score your resume, describes no ATS check and does not look for jobs. Heavily designed resumes can be hard for an ATS to read. Apply4Me adds ATS-friendly templates, a CV diagnosis and applying.

Choose Canva if the look of your resume matters most, for example in a creative field where it often goes straight to a person rather than through an ATS. You get thousands of templates, a free-form editor, your own photos and graphics, and export to PDF, JPEG or PNG on the free plan.
Canva is a design editor in which a resume is one of thousands of project types: you pick a template, drag elements around and write the content yourself. Apply4Me is built around the job search: a CV editor with a diagnosis, ATS-friendly templates, tailoring of your CV and cover letter to each posting, offers from 50+ job boards and, on Pro, up to 20 applications a week.
You can make a resume in Canva for free and download it as a PDF, and the free plan includes up to 20 AI uses. Canva Pro is 450 PLN a year seen from Poland and adds premium content and features, but no resume check. Apply4Me's free plan downloads a PDF with no watermark, and Pro at 59.99 PLN a month tailors your CV and sends applications.
Yes. Canva lets you download a resume as a PDF, JPEG or PNG on the free plan, or send a link to it. Check that the template does not put text into columns and graphics an ATS cannot read. In Apply4Me 2 of the 5 free templates are ATS-friendly, and the PDF downloads with no watermark.
Not in a way it describes: Canva has general AI tools for writing and translating text, but it does not describe matching a resume to a job ad or scoring it for an ATS. On Pro, Apply4Me reads the posting, rewrites your CV and cover letter for its requirements and, by default, waits for your approval before sending.
It depends on the template. Canva describes no ATS check, and text in several columns, boxes and graphics can be read in the wrong order or not at all. For larger employers pick a simple single-column layout and check the resume before sending it, for example with Apply4Me's free diagnosis.
Yes. Download the resume from Canva as a PDF and upload it to Apply4Me: we read your experience, education and skills, score the CV and move it into the editor with 31 templates.
Yes. Upload your CV as a PDF and Apply4Me reads your experience, education and skills, so you do not retype anything. You can then polish it in the editor with 31 templates.
