The perfect profile picture
Your profile picture is your first impression with potential partners. Therefore, it is important that it shows you at your best. Follow our guidelines and choose a portrait photo. Even if the photos on LemonSwan are initially blurred, they play a crucial role in your success in finding a partner.
General information on choosing a picture:
- Image quality: Use sharp and clear images (JPG or PNG, max. 5MB).
- Format: Make sure that the image is correctly aligned.
- Lighting: Good lighting conditions ensure that all areas of your image are clearly visible.
- Data protection: Avoid including contact details in the image.
- Authenticity: Do not edit your images to show a realistic image of yourself.
- Children: To protect children, do not choose photos that show children.
- Respect: Sexual, racist or offensive images are not allowed.
- Copyright: Make sure that you own the rights to the images you upload.
Tips for your profile picture:
- Focus on you: Choose a picture that only shows you.
- Face recognition: Your face should be clearly recognizable - a smile is friendly.
- Your best side: Present yourself from your best side.
- Portrait: Avoid group pictures as these distract attention from you.
- Accessories: Hats, helmets or sunglasses can distort the first impression.
- Pets: A photo with your pet is more suitable for the gallery than for the profile picture.

Our tip: Ask a trustworthy person which picture is best for your profile.
