Can you use AI pictures on Tinder? ... and SHOULD you?

Can I use AI photos on Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge?

After over 1 year of helping men replace their crappy pictures with AI ones, I would say I am more qualified than anyone to explain the full landscape of AI pictures and whether or not they can be used on dating apps. So let's get into it.

In short, yes, you can use AI photos on your profiles.

AI is here to stay, and many apps have already taken the position that AI photos are okay, so long as they aren't being used to lie about your appearance or lifestyle.

Unfortunately, many AI dating profile picture generators have a habit of portraying their customers in completely unrealistic scenarios. These include things like flying on private jets, sitting in helicopters, relaxing on yachts, etc.

This is absolutely a form of mirepresentation, and you should avoid this at all costs, as it could result in your account being banned.

Use a reputable service like DatingShoot, where great care is taken to ensure only common, everyday scenarios are used to generate the photos. The best photos are the ones where you are going for a stroll at the park, or walking on the beach - not flexing wealth that you don't even have.

What do the terms of service say?

While Tinder doesn't explicity address AI photos in their terms of service, Hinge (the sister company of tinder, both of which belong to Match Group), clearly states:

**"AI should not come at the expense of daters' safety or their ability to discern fact from fiction. Additionally, it’s important for every Hinge dater to show up as an open and sincere version of themselves.

If you decide to include generative AI images, audio, or video in your profile, it should not be used to misrepresent yourself or your intentions — per our Terms of Service and our Community Guidelines. Our goal is to ensure that our users only leverage AI to build trustworthy connections with other daters, so they can find love and delete the app."**

In other words, as long as the photos are honest, then AI is totally okay.

Once again, you need to be very careful about where you get your AI photos from. At DatingShoot, every photo is screened to ensure it is a >99% resemblance to your actual face. That way, you can scientifically prove that you are not misrepresenting yourself in any way.

Are you sure I won't get banned?

We have helped thousands of men fix their Tinder/Bumble/Hinge photos without receiving a single report of a ban, so you can be certain using very high quality AI photos is completely safe!

If and when we receive any reports of a ban related to using AI photos, we will update this page promptly and launch a full investigation. But after over 1 year of operation, we are still waiting to receive such a report, which is a great sign for the use of AI dating profile pictures.

Should I use AI pictures on my profile?

Now that we've answered the question of can we use AI pictures on our dating profile, let's talk about whether or not we should.

The brutal reality is: 95% of guys probably should.

The average man's Tinder pictures are horrible, which is why women literally swipe left 93% of the time.

The only way to stand out in a sea of mediocrity is to get some amazing photos, and guys just aren't willing to put in the time and effort required to do so.

Best case scenario, you hire a professional (or likely multiple professional) to take photos of you, and you drop thousands of dollars, multiple days of time traveling to different locations with different outfits, to hopefully find 5-6 great photos. Even then, if the execution isn't perfect, you end up with nothing.

But with AI, you can get guaranteed amazing photos delivered in 3 hours, and you already know the photos will be a perfect match to your face, and be taken in completely ordinary scenarios that don't require any explaining.

What could be better than that?

I have seen guys literally 10x their matches overnight, and start getting women opening them like crazy, just from making the switch to AI photos.

Who shouldn't use AI photos on their profile?

Simply put, if you are extremely handsome, then using AI photos is likely overkill.

I talked to one guy who had so many matches, that he actively went out of his way to make his profile worse (by using crappy pictures and writing crazy stuff in his bio) just so he didn't get so overwhelmed by the number of options.

Nice problem to have, right? Unfortunately, most of us don't have that problem.

For most of us, we run into a volume issue on the apps. We swipe for days on end and see very little results. Women don't open us first, and often don't respond when we do.

The simplest answer for why this happen is because you look average, and women don't go for average. Every woman has high standards, and they want someone who looks above average. So make yourself look above average, and you will reap the benefits.

Treat it like a job interview. Put your best foot forward. For many men, high quality dating profile pictures like the ones delivered by the pros at DatingShoot will shows an instant return on investment that is well worth it.
