Do I lose my resume if I cancel Resume.io?

Anything you have already downloaded is yours permanently. A PDF exported while your plan was active is a normal file on your device that does not stop working when you cancel, so the golden rule is simple: download everything you might need before you cancel, including your resume, any variations, and a matching cover letter.

Your resume data does not vanish from Resume.io either; the account and the resume you built remain saved. What lapses is access to the paid actions: editing the live document and, crucially, downloading fresh copies require an active subscription. So a cancelled account can leave you with a resume you can see but not re-export until you resubscribe.

This is why the practical advice is to treat the download step as the real finish line. Before cancelling, export a PDF (and ideally a plain-text copy for pasting into applications), and if you expect to tailor the resume for different roles, generate those versions while you still have access. Then cancel with confidence, knowing the files are already saved locally.

If you anticipate ongoing edits across a long search, that is exactly the case where paying for a quarterly or annual plan, rather than trial-and-cancel, makes sense, so you retain edit and download access throughout.
