AirCV is a free Bootstrap 3 personal CV and portfolio website template from Themewagon, built for developers and freelancers who need a simple one-page site to display skills, experience, and past work.
What is AirCV?
AirCV is a single-page personal CV and portfolio template built on Bootstrap 3 with HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. It takes your name, title, social links, skill percentages, work history, and project images as input and produces a responsive, one-page portfolio website. It was designed by Keenthemes, the same developer behind the Metronic admin theme, and is distributed for free through Themewagon.

How does AirCV work?
AirCV is a static HTML template. Download the files, open the HTML folder, edit the markup and CSS to replace placeholder content with your own background image, name, skills, projects, and contact details, then upload the folder to any web host. Because it uses Bootstrap 3 and jQuery, all interactivity like the portfolio pop-ups and progress bars works without a build process or backend.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Free to download and use commercially; no build tools or server required; responsive across modern browsers; clean and simple design suited for personal branding.
- Cons: No contact form built-in, only direct contact details; no support guaranteed by the author; based on Bootstrap 3, an older major version compared to newer Bootstrap 5 templates.
Pricing
AirCV is completely free to download and use, including in commercial projects. Lifetime free updates are offered, with no paid tier mentioned on the page.
FAQ

Yes, AirCV is a free open-source template. You can download it from Themewagon and use it in personal or commercial projects without paying, and it comes with lifetime free updates.
No. The contact section shows your location, email, phone number, and website address but does not include a form. Visitors reach you through the displayed details rather than submitting a message on the page.
What frameworks does AirCV use?
AirCV is built on Bootstrap 3, HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. It doesn't require Node.js, a build step, or a backend — just edit the static files and host them anywhere.
Is support available for AirCV?
The Themewagon page states that no support is guaranteed for this template. Users are directed to contact Keenthemes' developers for help, or to leave comments on the download page if they find errors.
How do I customize AirCV?
Open the HTML folder from the downloaded files, then edit the HTML and CSS. You'll replace the hero background image, name, title, social links, skill percentages, experience items, portfolio images, and contact details with your own content, then upload the folder to a web server.
