Dating Photo Checklist

Not sure a photo should lead your profile? Answer ten quick questions while you look at it at phone size. Every no comes with the specific fix and a guide. It is a structured self-review, not an AI score.

This is a self-review checklist, not an automated score. Look at the photo at phone size and answer honestly.

  1. 01 · Face

    Is your face clear and easy to recognise at phone size?

  2. 02 · Face

    Are your eyes visible, with no sunglasses or deep shadow?

  3. 03 · Face

    Does it show how you look now (hair, beard, glasses, build)?

  4. 04 · Light

    Is the light soft and even, without harsh overhead shadows?

  5. 05 · Light

    Is the photo sharp when you zoom in on your eyes?

  6. 06 · Light

    Is it free of beauty filters and heavy edits?

  7. 07 · Framing

    Is it obvious which person is you?

  8. 08 · Framing

    Is the crop sensible, with nothing important cut off?

  9. 09 · Context

    Is the background tidy or does it say something about you?

  10. 10 · Context

    Does your expression look relaxed and natural?

Dating Photo Checklist — FAQ

Is this an AI photo rater?

No. It is a checklist you answer yourself. Automated attractiveness scores are unreliable and can't tell whether a photo is current or recognisably you, which matters more.

Is it free?

Yes, with no account. Your photo stays on your device. Generating new portraits with PhotoDating.ai is a separate, paid product.
