Dating photos that look like your best week.

You’re doing fine. Your camera roll isn’t. Send 24 phone photos; we send them with every shot as the reference for what you look like, and make 40 more across the settings you choose — a morning coffee, a coast road, a rooftop at the end of a good night. Ready within 24 hours; most orders in a few hours.

$49, paid once. 40 photos. Regenerate or refund if you don’t love them.

From your camera roll to this.

You send ordinary phone photos: a window, a wall, a friend with ten seconds to spare. The model learns your face from them, not your lighting, so the results come back in light you never had.

How it works

  1. Choose your settings

    A two-minute quiz about your style, your city and how you spend a weekend. We write the shot list around your answers, so the set looks like your life rather than a catalogue.

  2. Send 24 phone photos

    Twenty minutes with the rear camera, a self-timer and a wall; a friend makes two or three of them easier. Nobody sees these — they are reference material. We check every one for a single face, in focus and well lit, and ask you to replace only the ones that fail. See the shot list

  3. Pay $49, get 40 photos

    Once your set passes, you pay and we shoot your set, sending your own photos along with every prompt. Ready within 24 hours; most orders in a few hours.

Every photo is checked before you pay

Your results are only as good as the set we work from. Four selfies cannot show a face from enough angles; 24 photos across different light, outfits and backgrounds can. That is why the shot list is 24 long, and why your set has to pass before we shoot anything.

What our server looks at, on every upload:

  • Exactly one face in the frame. Group shots, and anyone standing behind you, fail.
  • In focus, and lit so your face is neither too dark nor blown out.
  • Not a near-duplicate of another photo in the set.
  • Clearly you: the same face throughout, not hidden behind sunglasses, a hat or a mask.
  • Enough of each framing — headshots, waist-up and full body, in the numbers the shot list asks for.

Whatever fails comes back with the file and the reason, in those words, and you cannot continue until the set passes. A set that fails is never shot from, so you are never charged for a weak one.

You are not meant to guess at this. The whole thing is written down: the 24-shot list, about twenty minutes of work, and every check we run on it once it arrives. Read the photo guide

What a set looks like

Six of the 40 photos in an order, at the crop the apps use. A set is built the way a profile should be: one clean look at your face, one full length, one of something you actually do, one with other people in it, one somewhere else, and a second face in different light.

What you’re paying for

Made from your photos, and nobody else’s

Trained from your 24 photos for your order only. Nobody else’s face goes in, and nobody else gets your model.

Settings you’d actually be in

Believable places in real light, in clothes you own, shot the way a friend with a good camera would shoot you. Nothing you would have to explain on the date.

Never charged for a weak set

If your photos won’t train well, the check says so before you pay, and we ask for replacements instead of taking your money.

Beta

We’re new. The frames on this page are placeholders until our current model bake-off picks a winner, and there are no testimonials here because we haven’t earned any yet. If anything about your order is off, you’re emailing the founder: contact@aidatingpics.com.

We build for men first, because that is where a better set of photos changes the most; the quiz and the wardrobe cover women and non-binary customers too, and you are welcome to order.

Questions

Will the photos look like me?

Every shot is made from your own 24 photos, so likeness comes from your set. We never slim a face, sharpen a jaw or take years off anyone — Tinder and Hinge now check a live selfie against your profile photos, and a flattered face is the thing that fails that check. It is also why we check every photo before we shoot and ask you to replace any that fail: sunglasses, filters, group shots and blurry frames are the usual reasons a result drifts.

I’m not photogenic.

Usually that means every photo you own was taken at arm’s length on a front camera, which stretches the nose and flattens everything else, under whatever light happened to be in the room. Distance, lens and light do most of the work people credit to a face. Here you get 40 frames instead of the two you happen to have, and you only ever post the good ones.

I don’t have good photos of myself and nobody to take them.

That is the normal case, and it is the reason this exists. What you send is not a portfolio: 24 ordinary phone photos, most of them a propped phone and a self-timer against a wall or a window, with a friend for two or three of them. None of them have to be good. They have to be in focus, well lit and clearly you.

What photos do I need to send?

24 phone photos: 8 headshots, 8 waist-up, 6 full body and 2 wildcards, across different light, outfits and backgrounds. Rear camera, no portrait mode, no sunglasses or hats. The guide walks the whole list, shot by shot, and says what our server checks when they land. Read the photo guide

Will it look like a LinkedIn headshot?

No. There is no grey backdrop and no suit unless you asked for one. Dating photos and corporate photos fail in opposite directions: the corporate one is trying to make you look expensive and unavailable. We shoot a notch below formal on purpose — a jacket over a knit, sleeves pushed up — and most of a set is outdoors, moving, or mid-something.

I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard.

Neither do we. Real light, clothes you own, nothing staged for a camera. You pick the settings, and even the ambitious ones are shot like an ordinary day you happened to be having rather than a campaign. If a photo looks like it was made to impress someone, it doesn’t make the set.

Will people be able to tell they’re AI?

They are generated, and we won’t tell you to claim otherwise. The aim is photos that look like a good photographer took them on a good day: real places, natural light, no plastic skin, and a face that is measurably yours. The test that counts is the first drink — you should look like the person in the photos when you walk in, which is exactly why we leave the face alone.

How long does it take?

Ready within 24 hours; most orders in a few hours. We email you when the gallery is ready, and you can watch progress on your order page in the meantime.

What if I don’t like them?

If your photo set passes our check and you still don’t love the results, we regenerate or refund. Reply to your gallery email or write to us and we will sort it out. Refund policy
