03 — ATS

Will Sepia pass applicant tracking systems?

The parchment background is a fill behind real text, so parsing is unaffected. Single-column layout with standard headings keeps it machine-readable.

Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

04 — FAQ

Questions about the Sepia template

Is the sepia background okay for printing?

It prints as a light warm tint; if you need pure white for a specific submission, another template may be safer.

Does the background affect ATS parsing?

No — it is a flat fill behind real selectable text, not an image.

Is Sepia too old-fashioned for modern roles?

It is intentionally classical — best for academia, law, heritage, and senior roles where tradition is an asset.
