- Take the photo straight on, in good light, with the whole page in the frame and no strong shadows.
- Save it as JPG, PNG or WebP — or keep a scan as a PDF — under 10 MB.
- Upload it as usual: My CV → CV Import in the panel, or Upload existing CV in Quick CV.
- When the import finishes, open each section and correct anything that was misread.

Good to know
What the text reader handles
- Scanned PDFs and photos are read with text recognition (OCR) in English and Turkish, and sideways pages are turned the right way automatically.
- For scans, the first three pages are read — enough for most CVs.
- Light text on a dark panel gets a second pass, so dark designs usually work.
- HEIC photos, the iPhone default, aren't accepted — send a JPG instead.
- If no text can be read, you're asked for a sharper, straight-on picture. You can also paste your CV's text into the chat and let the Twin Advisor structure it.

FAQ
Questions about scans and photos
Why are some names or dates wrong after a photo import?
Text recognition can misread small or stylised type. Fix the entries by hand, or tell the Twin Advisor what's wrong — for example, “my title at Acme was Senior Engineer”.
