Leaving a job gracefully
A resignation letter should be short, clear, and professional — this tool handles the structure so you can focus on the wording.
A good resignation letter states your intent to resign, your last working day, and — if you'd like — a short note of thanks, without turning into a long explanation. Keeping a copy for your own records is common practice, and this generator lets you download both a PDF (ready to print or attach to an email) and a Word file (in case HR asks for an editable version).

Quick answers about the resignation letter generator.
Is this tool really free?
Yes, permanently. All three templates, unlimited letters, PDF and Word downloads — no account, no watermark, no paywall.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. The letter is built entirely in your browser. Nothing you type — your name, company, or manager's name — is ever sent to a server.
Do I need to give a reason for resigning?
No. The reason field is optional. If you leave it blank, the letter simply states that you're resigning without adding an explanation.
Can I edit the letter after downloading?
The Word (.doc) download opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or most word processors and can be edited freely. The PDF is best treated as a final copy — adjust the form here and re-download if you need changes.
How much notice should I give?
This varies by contract and country — check your employment agreement or local labor law for the standard notice period, then set your last working day accordingly in the form.
