Your first photo decides most swipes before anyone reads a word. Upload it, say which slot it's for, and get a quick critique of how well the photo works there, plus three fixes for a better retake.
What makes a good first photo
Your face, clearly visible, in soft light, looking relaxed, with you as the only person in frame. No sunglasses, no group shot, no heavy filter. The rater checks each of those.
It rates the photo, not you
The score is about light, framing and whether the picture does its job in that slot. It never rates how attractive anyone is.

Pair a strong first photo with a bio from the Tinder Bio Generator or answers from Hinge Prompt Answers, and get more tips from the Dating Photo Coach.
Questions
Is this a hot-or-not rating?
No. It scores the photo's quality and fit for a dating profile, never appearance.
Should my first dating photo be a selfie?
A photo taken by someone else at eye level usually works better. Mirror and car selfies tend to do worst as a first photo.
Is my photo stored or shown to anyone?
It is used to write the critique and is not published.
