Frequently asked questions
How is this different from ChatGPT?
Our AI knows French job market codes: Talentlink/Workday ATS, Apec/Doyoubuzz format, "État civil" conventions, no fluff "centres d'intérêt". ChatGPT mixes US and FR norms. And we guarantee zero hallucination of degrees, certifications, or experience.
How does it work?
Upload your CV once (PDF, DOCX or text) on your profile. For each application, paste the target job ad. In ~1 minute, our AI optimises CV + cover letter. You can then edit any block and pick from 4 templates before downloading the PDF.
Where is my data stored?
On European servers (Hetzner Germany for the database, Backblaze B2 EU for files). Strict GDPR, no transfer outside the EU, no Cloud Act exposure. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Security (immediate erasure).
How many free trials?
2 free lifetime trials at signup. Test 1 CV boost + 1 cover letter without entering a credit card. If you like it, switch to Starter (€7.99/mo for 30 boosts) or Pro (€17.99/mo unlimited).
How do I cancel my subscription?
Anytime from Settings → Subscription → "Manage subscription" (Stripe Customer Portal). No commitment, no minimum period. You keep access until the end of the current period, then automatically revert to the Free plan.
Do credits roll over month to month?
No. Starter credits (30/month) reset at every renewal. The Pro plan is unlimited (capped at 10/day to prevent abuse). It's our safeguard against bots and account sharing.
What about pro photos?
Included as a bonus in your plans: 1 photo/month on Starter, 3/month on Pro. Otherwise available as one-shot packs (Trial €3.99 for 1 photo, Solo €6.99 for 2, Pack €14.99 for 5, Career €24.99 for 10) with non-expiring credits.
How do I tailor my resume for a specific job posting?
On ShotCV, paste the job posting and your source resume: the Claude Sonnet 4.6 AI rephrases your key skills based on the recruiter's keywords, without inventing any experience or degree. Boost takes about a minute and you can edit every block before PDF export.
What's the French alternative to cvrefit?
ShotCV offers a resume boost equivalent to cvrefit, plus a native cover letter, euro pricing (€7.99/month Starter, €17.99/month Pro), EU hosting (Hetzner Germany) and a fully French UX adapted to the FR job market ATS.
Does ShotCV store my personal data?
Your resumes and letters are kept on EU servers as long as your account exists. You can delete your account anytime via Settings → Security, which erases all your data immediately (GDPR). Selfies uploaded for AI photos are deleted within 24h.
How do I cancel my ShotCV subscription with no fees?
Go to Settings → Subscription → "Manage my subscription". You land on the Stripe customer portal where cancellation takes one click. No cancellation fee, no minimum commitment: you keep access until the end of your paid period.
Does ShotCV invent experiences on my resume?
No. The ShotCV system prompt is designed to only rephrase what's already in your source resume. If a skill or degree isn't there, the AI won't add it. You stay in full control of accuracy — no risk of unintentional lies to the recruiter.
What resume format works with French ATS (Apec, Talentlink, Workday)?
ShotCV generates resumes compatible with Talentlink, Workday, and Apec/Doyoubuzz formats. The PDF uses @react-pdf/renderer with system fonts, no nested tables or blocking images that break ATS parsing. Sections follow FR conventions (Personal info, Experience, Education).
How much does an AI-generated resume photo cost?
ShotCV offers 4 one-shot photo packs, all AI-generated (Gemini single-shot): Trial at €3.99 (1 photo), Solo at €6.99 (2 photos), Pack at €14.99 (5 photos), Career at €24.99 (10 photos). One-time payment, no subscription. Credits never expire.
Which industries does ShotCV work for (admin, engineering, retail)?
ShotCV covers every FR market industry: engineering, marketing, retail, healthcare, tech, public service. The Career pack includes styles dedicated to French administrative competitions (plain background, neutral expression). Other packs and the resume boost remain industry-agnostic.
