Are AI photos allowed on dating apps? Mostly, yes

Tinder's Community Guidelines contain no rule about AI photos at all. Bumble bans them only when they are used to deceive, and Hinge permits them in policy while advising against them.

Made for

Four apps, four different answers. Tinder's Community Guidelines list thirteen rules and not one mentions AI. Bumble prohibits generated photos used to deceive. Hinge allows them in its AI principles, then tells daters to skip them in its own guide. Feeld prohibits malicious use of AI generated images. The line everywhere is misrepresentation, not how the file was made.

From your selfies to your next match

  1. Upload your selfies

    One photo of your face is enough. Selfies are fine. Up to four if you have them.

  2. Choose the look

    Pick the scene and the outfit, or just describe the photos you want.

  3. Get your photos

    Download the ones you like, and go get those matches.

Questions

Can I get banned for using AI photos?

Bans follow misrepresentation. If the profile shows someone else's face, or a face reshaped into a different person, that is impersonation, and all four apps treat that as grounds for removal. None of these four policies ban a generated photo of your own face. Fottory works from photos you upload of yourself, so the person in the result is you.

Do I have to say a photo is AI generated?

None of these four policies require a label. Tinder has no rule to disclose against. Bumble's condition is deceiving others. Hinge asks only that the image not misrepresent you. Feeld's rule covers malicious use. You can mention it in your bio if you want to, but no policy here makes you.

Why does Hinge allow AI photos and also tell people not to use them?

Two documents doing two jobs. The AI principles page sets the rule: an AI image "should not be used to misrepresent yourself". The AI Dating Guide gives advice: "But skip the AI-generated profile photos", citing 88% of Hinge daters who are uncomfortable with them. A rule and an opinion, both from Hinge, both current.

Will Tinder's Face Check stop me?

Face Check is a liveness scan run on the account, not a filter on the photos you upload. It is required for new accounts in a growing list of countries and checks that a real person is behind the profile. Our Tinder, Hinge and Bumble pages go through each app's rules in full.

Will the photos still look like me?

Yes. It is your own face, not a new one. Upload clear photos and the results look like you, at your best.

Are AI photos allowed on dating apps?

Yes. Dating apps do not ban AI photos. They ban pretending to be someone else. A photo that still looks like you is what passes their check.

How many photos do I need to upload?

One is enough. It has to show only you, with your face towards the camera and your hair visible. You can add up to four for more variety. A side angle or a full body photo helps, but we do not need them.

Can I choose the scenes and outfits?

Yes. Pick a place and clothes from the list, describe them, or show us a photo to follow.

How much does it cost?

You pay once, with no subscription. Packs start at 19 euros, and you only spend a credit when you ask for a photo.

Can I try it for free first?

Yes. Your first two photos are free and you do not need a card. See your own face before you pay anything.

Is my data private?

We never train on your photos and we never share them. They stay yours.
