What this tool does
Dating photos aren’t about “perfect”—they’re about being approachable, attractive, and easy to understand at a glance. This tool calls out awkward signals and gives retake ideas that actually convert.
Your face is clear and readable (no sunglasses, no heavy shadows).
Expression reads warm (soft eyes, relaxed mouth).
Body language is open (hands visible, no defensive posture).
Background supports your lifestyle story (not messy bathroom).
Outfit fits well and matches your intended vibe.
Photo doesn’t look low-effort (blurry, pixelated, bad flash).
No “try-hard” signals (forced flexing, cringe captions, props).
Crop shows enough context (head + some torso is ideal).
How to use (get better results)
Follow these steps to increase feedback accuracy.
Upload the photo you plan to use as your primary profile image.
If you have two candidates, upload both and compare feedback.
Try one “smile” version and one “neutral confident” version.
Retake outdoors or near a window for clean, flattering light.
Keep the background simple but not sterile (a little context helps).
Avoid flash and awkward mirror shots unless done intentionally.
Apply the top fix and reshoot 10 minutes later.
