How to Edit Your Tinder Photos

1

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. That vacation photo with your ex, the selfie with a messy background, the group shot where you look amazing but the setting is boring.

Simple edits like background changes: 15-30 seconds. Complex ex-removal with detailed backgrounds: may need 2-3 refinements.
2

Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'remove the person on the left side' or 'change the background to a stylish coffee shop.' Be specific about what you want changed. No marking needed for most edits.

For ex-removal, specify their position: 'remove the person on the right wearing the blue shirt' to ensure the AI knows exactly who to remove.
3

Generate and review

Tap generate and check the result at full zoom. Make sure the person is completely gone, the background looks natural, and your lighting is flattering. This is going on your dating profile.

Zoom in on edges where the removed person was. Any ghosting or weird artifacts will be noticed by potential matches.
4

Refine with markers if needed

If there's leftover arm or the wrong person was affected, tap markers on the problem areas and regenerate. Most edits work without markers, but they help with tricky removals.

Markers are for precision when the AI gets confused about which person to remove in group photos.

Copy-Paste Prompts for Tinder

Remove ex from a great photo of you
remove the person on the right and fill in the background naturally, keep me looking exactly the same

Specify which side your ex is on. The AI will reconstruct what was behind them.

Upgrade a boring background
change the background to a trendy rooftop bar at golden hour with city skyline, keep the lighting warm and flattering

Lifestyle backgrounds suggest you have an interesting social life. Golden hour lighting is universally flattering.

Fix bad indoor lighting
enhance the lighting to be softer and more flattering, reduce harsh shadows on my face, make skin look natural

Harsh overhead lighting creates unflattering shadows. Soft enhancement makes you look your best.

Clean up a mirror selfie background
clean up the messy room in the background, remove visible clutter and make it look tidy

Messy backgrounds are a common swipe-left trigger. Clean rooms suggest you have your life together.

Show 4 more prompts
Remove photobomber from vacation pic
remove the stranger in the background wearing the red shirt, fill with the beach scene naturally

Vacation photos show you travel, but random tourists ruin the shot. Specify clothing color for accuracy.

Make outdoor photo pop
enhance colors to be more vibrant, make the sky more blue and dramatic, boost overall quality

Vibrant photos catch attention in the swipe feed. Enhanced colors make you stand out.

Swap gym mirror for better setting
change the gym mirror background to an outdoor hiking trail with mountains, keep my pose and lighting consistent

Gym selfies can look try-hard. Same fitness vibe, more adventurous setting.

Remove someone's arm from your shoulder
remove the arm draped over my shoulder from the person cropped out of frame, fill with my shoulder and clothing naturally

Cropped-out exes often leave arms behind. The AI can reconstruct your shoulder cleanly.

When Things Go Wrong

AI changed the wrong area or removed the wrong person

Why: In group photos, the AI may not know which person you meant. Position descriptions like 'on the right' can be ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific person you want to remove, then regenerate with the same prompt

Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS person specifically.' Essential for group photos.

Removed person left a shadow or outline behind

Why: The AI filled the space but didn't account for the shadow they cast. This is common in bright outdoor photos.

Try: remove the remaining shadow and blend the background naturally where the person was standing

Run a second pass specifically targeting the leftover shadow for clean results.

New background lighting doesn't match my face

Why: You added a sunset background but your face was lit by indoor light. The mismatch looks fake.

Try: change the background to [scene] with lighting direction matching my face, light coming from [front/left/right]

Look at which side of your face is brighter, then match the background light source.

Part of my ex's arm or hand is still visible

Why: The AI didn't realize the arm belonged to the removed person, especially if it was draped over you.

Try: remove the remaining arm on my shoulder and fill with my clothing and shoulder naturally

Crop-out arms are tricky. Be specific that it belongs to the removed person.

Background change looks obviously fake

Why: The new scene doesn't match your original photo's perspective, lighting, or style.

Try: change the background to [scene] with natural perspective matching my position, subtle blur for depth

Adding 'subtle blur for depth' creates realistic background separation like a professional photo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to mark my ex before removing them?

Usually no! Just describe their position: 'remove the person on the left' or 'remove the person in the blue shirt.' The AI understands. Only use markers in group photos where position alone is ambiguous.

Will people be able to tell the photo is edited?

Not if you review carefully. Zoom in on edges where people were removed. Check that backgrounds look natural. Avoid adding obviously mismatched lighting. Most well-done edits are undetectable.

What makes a good Tinder photo to edit?

Photos where YOU look great but something else is wrong. Your ex is in it, the background is boring, the lighting is harsh. Start with photos where your face and expression are already good.

Can I fix a blurry photo?

AI can enhance slightly soft photos but cannot recover severely blurry or motion-blurred images. Try 'enhance sharpness and clarity while keeping natural look' for mild blur.

Should I use all edited photos on my profile?

Mix edited and unedited. Your main photo can have an upgraded background, but include some natural photos too. Authenticity matters for actual dates. Remove exes liberally though.

Does this work for Hinge, Bumble, and other dating apps?

Absolutely. EditThisPic works on any photo regardless of which dating app you use. The same editing techniques work across Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Happn, or any other platform.
