Question 1

What does the MatchShot dating profile audit do?

Accepted Answer

It scores every photo on your dating profile against 2026 Tinder, Hinge and Bumble standards. You upload 3 to 6 photos and get a per-photo score, the red flags lowering your reach, the green flags worth keeping, and a ranked order you can copy straight into the app.

Question 2

Is the audit really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the full audit, the per-photo scores, and the ranked order are free. There is no credit card and no trial. We monetise the separate AI photo generator if you want new photos taken from your selfies, but the audit itself costs nothing.

Question 3

How long does the audit take?

Accepted Answer

Under a minute. Upload, answer a short intake (gender, what you are stuck on, dating goal), and the report renders as the analysis finishes — usually 30 to 60 seconds end to end.

Question 4

How many photos do I need to upload?

Accepted Answer

Minimum 3, maximum 6. Three is enough to score a profile; six gives the strongest ranked order because the model can compare more pairs.

Question 5

Will my photos be kept?

Accepted Answer

Photos are processed for the audit and kept only as long as needed to render and revisit your report. They are never sold, never shared with third parties, and never used to train models. You can request deletion at any time.

Question 6

Does this work for Tinder, Hinge and Bumble?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the scoring rubric covers all three apps. Each app rewards a slightly different photo mix (Tinder leans on the lead photo, Hinge rewards prompt context, Bumble rewards lifestyle variety) and the report calls out which photos work best for each.

Question 7

Do I need to be a man / a woman to use this?

Accepted Answer

No — the audit works for any gender. The intake captures what you are dating for and what is holding you back, and the model adjusts the scoring rubric to your context.
