How do I create a good photo?

Adding a photo to your profile is a great way to increase interest in you. First, your photo must meet our basic photo requirements:

• Your face must be able to be seen clearly
• You must be in the photo
• The photo must be less than 10MB in size
• The photo must meet our minimum size requirements
• The photo must be in .jpg, .bmp, .gif, or .png format
• The photo must not be obscene or offensive
• The photo must not contain contact information

After meeting our basic requirements, there are other steps you can take to ensure your photo works for you. Here are some tips for creating a great photo:

• The photo should be high quality
• The photo should be close up
• The photo should not be dark or blurry
• It’s better if your photo is taken with a digital camera, rather than a webcam or scanned
• It’s better if you get a friend to take a photo of you, rather than using a mirror
• Your photo should not be artificially enhanced or decorated
• A photo showing you doing something you love or visiting somewhere interesting is a great conversation starter
