Before coming into the developers' world, I used Microsoft Word and later, Canva.
Now that I am a bit more efficient with HTML and CSS I can tell that I think it's less time-consuming to program a website with your resume and format rather than any other of the tools I mentioned.
However, if you have absolutely no idea of them I think Canva is always a good option to make fancy designs with not much complication.

I've loved Canva the small amount that I've used it for twitter cards/Dev header images 😁

I keep my "resume" on my website but I've heard plenty of employers say they want a printer friendly version. So I made a resume on Google Docs and linked the PDF download link to a "Printer Friendly Resume" tag on the site.

A few of the responses mention using @media print css queries to make the page print in a friendly way!

That's one way to do it. But my website looks (visually, at least) pretty different than my actual resume that I give to potential employers.
