Dating Profile Photo — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid dating-profile-style photo of an influencer (mid-20s, wavy dark-brown hair, subtle makeup, small hoop earrings) wearing a fitted white tee and light-wash jeans, holding a phone at arm’s length and looking near the camera with a warm, genuine smile. She’s on a sunny city sidewalk outside a cozy café with a latte in her other hand, pedestrians softly blurred behind her, golden-hour natural light and a slightly angled selfie perspective like an Instagram story. Keep it real and unpolished—tiny flyaway hairs, natural skin texture, relaxed posture, approachable Hinge/Bumble vibe."

Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Marketing-grade polish that translates well to clean, premium-looking dating photos
- Up to 4K resolution options for crisp crops (face, shoulders, full-body) without losing clarity
- Industry-leading text rendering for profile-adjacent assets (prompt cards, overlays, or app-ready banners) when needed

Verdict
Pick Grok Imagine if you want flexible, photorealistic dating photos with creative lifestyle variety—especially when you’re iterating quickly and value high-detail realism at a simple per-image price (4 credits).
Pick Nano Banana Pro if your priority is premium, production-style finish and high-resolution exports for confident cropping. It’s also the better fit when you want a cohesive “set” of images and may benefit from accurate text rendering for optional profile assets, with pricing that scales by resolution (22–44 credits).
