This is one of the easiest ways to take pictures of yourself for your Tinder profile. Set up a tripod in the area where you want to take the photos, and attach your phone to it. Then, set your phone on the timer mode and step away from it and pose for your photo.


You can take several photos this way – and you can even get a tripod that comes with a small remote to press when you’re ready to take a picture. This will give you high-quality photos for dating apps like Tinder that women will love.


Still not sure if your picture came out right? Ask ROAST. ROAST is a team of dating experts who are dedicated to helping you get more matches. They'll walk you through everything so you end up with a winning profile. Start by taking their short quiz.

If you don’t have a tripod and need to take a few good online dating photos, you can always rest your phone on something while you're taking your Tinder pic.


You can rest it on a bench, rock, or anything that’s elevated enough to get you the right angle that’s flattering. If captured appropriately photos can make some of the best Tinder profiles.

While taking a selfie is tempting, you’re better off avoiding selfies on dating apps like Tinder. They’re easy to take, but they also don’t have a high success rate on the dating app. Selfies will make you look conceited and vain, which you want to avoid. You want your photos to look like they were taken by a professional photographer, not by yourself.


Don't post any shirtless pics either, as these will have the same effects and don't make for good Tinder profile pictures. Shirtless pics don't help boost your profile, so you must avoid such errors.


Did you know there are many more unspoken rules about pictures on Tinder? You'll never figure them out on your own -- but ROAST knows them. ROAST has studied dating apps and the Tinder algorithm, so they know exactly what you need to do to boost your visibility. They won't let you go until they're confident your profile is a good one. Start by taking their short quiz.

When you’re out somewhere and have found the perfect chance at a photo op, you can always ask a stranger to take your photo. Ask someone who’s around to take the photo, and tell them exactly how you want the camera set up (horizontally or vertically). Then, step into the frame and pose for some Tinder photos.


This works in a pinch, but even better is to have a friend take the picture so you have a natural, organic smile. How do you know if your picture is right? Ask ROAST. ROAST will take a look at your pictures and tell you how to improve them, if you need to. They know Tinder better than anyone else. Talk to ROAST today.

The live feature on your camera is great for getting more out of your pictures. When you turn on the live feature, you can go through your photos, and choose moments where you’re captured in a flattering angle. This will give you more choices in your photos and help make taking your photos a smoother process.

When you’re taking photos, you want to show off your best self and features. To do this, you’ll need to find your best angles. Think about what side you want to pose on and what angles you want to capture to show off your best side on the dating app. You'll want to avoid group photos as group shots can sometimes make you, even at your best angles worse.


Tinder photos should be taken with just you in the frame, so you're not outshined by anyone else like you could be in group photos. Avoid group shots when you can to get your best photos.


You can also boost your profile picture and attract more likes effortlessly with a Tinder profile enhancement tool like ROAST. This innovative service will evaluate your photo, pinpoint areas for improvement, and guide you towards a more captivating image. Start by taking their short quiz.

Prior to taking Tinder profile pictures, take time to be prepared and get yourself looking your best. Shower, groom yourself, and dress nicely for your photo op. You don’t want to look like you didn’t put any effort into your online dating photos, so always get ready before taking Tinder pictures for the dating app.


Do some prep before taking your best Tinder pictures to ensure you look attractive and have an online dating profile that stands out.

If your hands look awkward and aren’t busy, chances are your photos are going to look awkward too and you won't get your best photos. Your hand placement is key to getting a natural photo that doesn’t look posed, awkward, or unnatural. Hold something in your hands like a coffee cup if you don’t know what to do with them, or you can put them into your pockets, or rest a hand on your hip.


This will give you solid, good Tinder pictures to help you boost your online dating experience.


If these rules for the most "natural" photo are confusing to you, you can always get personalized help. ROAST is a team of dating pros who can help you get the best pictures for your profile. Your visibility on Tinder will skyrocket with their help. Talk to ROAST.

The best way to get a good looking, inviting picture is by smiling. Women love a man who looks happy and confident – which you can easily show in a bright smile. The best Tinder pictures will be of you smiling. Smile in your photos, especially in your profile photo to create a solid first impression.

Avoid taking Tinder pics in old or unpleasant backgrounds. A good background can do a lot for a photo and provide you with a good Tinder picture. Tinder profile pics should be set somewhere with a good setting, including at the park, outside of a coffee shop, or outside of a nice neighbourhood.
