Photo guidelines

First photo requirement

Your first photo must clearly show your face. This helps build trust and is required for all OtterHalf profiles. Avoid:

• Sunglasses or hats that obscure your face
• Heavily filtered or edited photos that don’t look like you
• Group shots where it’s unclear who you are
• Blurry or low-quality images

What we look for

• Clear, well-lit photos where your face is clearly visible
• At least one solo photo of yourself
• Recent photos that reflect who you are now
• Photos that represent you authentically

What’s not allowed

To align with our Community Guidelines and Prohibited Content & Behavior, do not upload:

• Sexually explicit, pornographic, or nude content
• Photos of anyone else (including using someone else’s likeness to pretend to be them)
• Photos of minors, including childhood photos of yourself
• Violent, graphic, or harmful content
• Fake or AI-generated images used to mislead others
• Content you don’t own or don’t have permission to use
• Ads, logos, or promotional content

How we moderate photos

Photos are reviewed using a combination of automated systems and human reviewers. We aim to keep the community safe and authentic. Content that violates our rules can be removed and may result in a warning, suspension, or account termination.
