What Match users swipe right on

Professional-quality photos perform best on Match. The audience skews older and more serious, so polished images signal that you're equally invested. On Match, your photos need to communicate who you are within two seconds. Lead with a clear, well-lit photo where your face is easy to see.

The ideal photo lineup for Match

Start with your best headshot, follow with a full-body photo, add an activity or hobby shot, and finish with a social photo. This combination shows different dimensions of your personality. Dateup can enhance any of these photos with better lighting and backgrounds in seconds.
