Cover letter templates — FAQ

Are these cover letter templates free?

Yes. Choose a template, write your letter in the builder, and download a PDF for free with no watermark.

What is the difference between a template and an example?

A template controls the visual layout of your letter. A cover letter example shows role-specific writing you can study and adapt to your own experience.

Can I change templates after I start writing?

Yes. Your writing is separate from the design, so changing the template does not replace your letter content.
