AI selfies for dating apps

Selfies are what you have; they're rarely what performs. Here's how to turn the selfies on your phone into photos that read as properly-shot portraits — without a camera or a photographer.

Raw selfies underperform on dating apps for predictable reasons: close lens distortion, an arm's-length angle, and whatever light happened to be in the room. The face is fine — the photograph isn't.

Why raw selfies underperform

Lens distortion at arm's length subtly exaggerates your features.
A repeated angle — every selfie looks like the same photo.
Indoor light that's flat, yellow or shadowed.
No full-body or lifestyle shots, so the profile lacks range.

What to upload

18–12 selfies, clear and front-facing.
2Vary the angle slightly — not twelve of the identical pose.
3Mix the lighting — a few indoors, a few in daylight.
4Keep your face unobstructed — no sunglasses, heavy filters or hats.

Better input, better output

Likeness quality tracks input quality more than any setting. Ten good selfies beat thirty poor ones.
