Tinder photo size and crop
Tinder publishes no photo size or shape on its help pages (read 12 November 2026). Below: what it does say, and a cropper that frames your face tall for a phone screen, in your browser.
What Tinder says about photos
Read on Tinder's own pages on 12 November 2026, in our words:
- No pixel size, shape or file limit is given in its help center.
- In many regions at least one photo has to show your face.
- Its tips favour a clear, well-lit view of your face, in focus and facing forward, without sunglasses, and no group photo as the one people have to guess from.
- Its press room has called four photos the perfect number for a profile.

The sizes in the cropper are ours
Because Tinder states none, the cropper offers common shapes: tall 4:5 (1080 × 1350), tall 2:3 (1080 × 1620) and square (1080 × 1080). A tall crop keeps your face large on a phone screen. 1080 pixels wide is plenty for a phone and keeps the file small.
Other dating apps, for comparison
- Bumble: ideally 1024 × 1024 pixels; JPG or PNG; up to 6 photos and videos.
- Hinge: no size; four to six photos depending on the country.
Every platform we checked: profile picture sizes.
Questions
What is the best photo size for Tinder?
Tinder does not publish one (its help center, read 12 November 2026). A tall 4:5 crop of 1080 by 1350 pixels from your original photo, with your face large and in focus, is a safe choice.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The cropper runs in your browser; the photo is opened, cropped and saved on your own device.
Is this site made by Tinder?
No. It is an independent free tool made by Dewshot, a natural photo retouch. Tinder is a trademark of Match Group, LLC.
