Free cover letter generator for jobs in India
Short answer
Enter your name, your role and skills (or paste your resume), the company and the job title, and it writes a cover letter in seconds: under 250 words, in a formal, friendly or confident tone, using only the facts you give it. Copy it or download it as a text file. Free, nothing saved.
How it works
Add your name and what you do
Your degree or current role, main skills and one or two results, or paste your resume. The letter uses only this, so be specific.
Add the company and the job title
Copy them exactly as the company writes them. Paste the key part of the job post if you have it: the letter will match it more closely.
Pick a tone and length
Formal suits most Indian companies and PSUs; friendly works for startups; confident suits experienced roles. Short is about 150 words, standard about 220.
Check it, then copy or download
Make sure every fact is true, add one line about why this company if you can, and paste it into the application or your email.

Is this cover letter generator free?
Yes. Your first cover letter is free with no sign-up. A free NextKnock account gives you more letters every month, and can find the company's HR contact and send your application from your own Gmail.
Will the AI make things up?
It is told to use only what you type and to leave out anything you didn't give it. Links, email addresses and phone numbers you didn't type are removed. Still, read the letter before sending: you know your facts best.
How long should a cover letter be in India?
Under 250 words, or about three to four short paragraphs: who you are and the role, two or three proofs that you fit, and a polite request for an interview. Recruiters skim, so shorter is better.
Do Indian companies still ask for cover letters?
Many don't require one, but a short, specific letter helps when a job portal has a cover letter box, when you email HR directly, or when you are a fresher with little experience to show.
Do you save what I type?
No. Your inputs are used to write the letter and then discarded. We only keep anonymous counts to stop abuse, including a one-way hash of your IP address for up to 30 days.
