The MINTED photo guide

Your lineup.
A little more you.

A few practical ways to choose dating profile photos.
Start with what’s already in your camera roll.

01

A clear hello.

Start with a recent, well-lit photo where it’s easy to see your face. Skip sunglasses and group shots for your first image.

02

A little context.

Add a wider shot and a real moment doing something you enjoy. Give someone a detail they could ask you about.

03

A change of pace.

Mix your settings, outfits, and framing. Six versions of the same selfie don’t tell much of a story.

Still you.
In person, too.

Use photos that reflect your current appearance. Include real photos of your life, follow each dating app’s rules, and be honest about AI images. A photo tool can help you create options; it can’t promise a connection.
