A good photo makes the difference

  • Look straight at the camera, with your head level.
  • Use even daylight, without strong side shadows.
  • Keep your face visible. Remove glasses and avoid filters.
  • Use a recent photo with just one face and a neutral expression.

Measurements describe this photo. Camera distance, expression and lighting can change the result. They are not a medical assessment or a measure of your worth.

Your photo is prepared locally as JPEG, and the free scan runs in this browser. The scanner loads its engine from this site; your photo is not sent to us or any third party. A complete report uploads the same prepared photo only after your separate consent.

What is a face shape detector?

A face shape detector compares your outline with six styling profiles: oval, round, square, heart, diamond and oblong. It checks where your face is widest, how long it is relative to its width and how the jaw tapers. The result is a shorthand for choosing haircuts and frames, not a verdict on how you look.

How the AI face shape detector reads a photo

In your browser, the AI face shape detector places facial landmarks and compares four ratios: height to cheek width, forehead to cheeks, cheeks to jaw and jaw angle. The nearest profile wins. Head pose and camera distance can shift the numbers.

Faces vary continuously, so this face shape test also shows the runner-up profile when you sit near a boundary.

Compare the six face shapes the face shape detector uses

The face shape detector's outlines describe styling patterns, not strict boundaries. Look at length, the widest area and the taper together; one number alone cannot explain every face. The face shape detector uses these six labels and does not rank them from better to worse.

Oval

A gently tapering jaw with more length than width. The cheek area is usually broader than the jaw, without a strongly dominant upper or lower outline.

Compare a layered bob, a textured crop or shoulder-length layers. Adjust volume to your texture and preferred maintenance rather than chasing one ideal silhouette.

Round

A relatively short outline with cheek width prominent and a softer lower contour. Fullness in a single selfie can also come from lens perspective or expression.

Explore an off-centre part, light crown height or longer face-framing layers. If you want more vertical emphasis, compare these with a one-length cut before deciding.

Square

The forehead and jaw remain comparatively broad, creating a more parallel-sided outline. Angular appearance is a descriptive feature, not a score or an issue to correct.

Try soft layers, a side-swept fringe or a textured crop. These can introduce curved lines if that is the effect you want, while a blunt cut can deliberately emphasise structure.

Heart

A broader upper outline narrows towards a smaller jaw and chin. A visible forehead landmark is only an approximation of that upper width; hair can hide its edges.

Explore a chin-length bob, a side part or light layers around the lower face. Keep or reduce height at the crown according to the outline you want to create.

Diamond

Cheek width stands out relative to the upper forehead and the lower jaw. This describes the distribution of width, not how rare or attractive a person is.

Try curtain pieces, a soft side fringe or some width around the forehead. Work with the natural direction of your hair so the idea remains practical outside a styled photograph.

Oblong

Length is the dominant dimension, often with relatively similar widths along the sides. A close wide-angle photograph can exaggerate length, so compare a more neutral view.

Compare a fringe, a side part or layers that add width around the cheeks. If your aim is less vertical emphasis, test these before adding a tall crown or very long straight lines.

Why use our face shape detector?

How to use it in 3 steps

  1. Take a straight-on photo

    Face the camera at eye level with a neutral expression and even light, and pull hair off your forehead and cheeks. Use a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file up to 30 MB, or one camera photo.

    Check your angle in the true mirror
  2. Run the online face shape detector or enter measurements

    Start the scan and review the outline overlay. No photo? Enter face length plus forehead, cheekbone and jaw width in one unit for a three-ratio comparison.

    Compare with the golden ratio
  3. Read your face shape analyzer result

    Compare the main profile and runner-up with the ratios shown, then try the suggested cuts and frames. Retake with similar light and distance for a fair comparison.

Face shape detector FAQ

What is my face shape?

Upload a clear front photo or enter four measurements. The face shape detector compares your proportions with six profiles and shows the closest match and a runner-up.

What shape glasses for my face?

Frames that contrast your outline usually balance it: angular frames for round faces, softer curves for square jaws.

Does removing wisdom teeth change face shape?

Most people see no lasting change, because wisdom teeth sit behind the jaw outline. Swelling can alter it for a few weeks.

How to choose a haircut for your face shape?

Add volume where your face is narrow and keep it soft where it is widest. The hairstyle finder ranks cuts for your detected shape.

Can you change your face shape?

Bone structure sets the outline, but weight, age, hair and posture change how it looks in photos.

What is the most attractive face shape?

No shape is objectively most attractive. Oval is often called balanced, but styling that suits you matters more.

What is my face shape men?

Men use the same six profiles. A full beard widens the measured jaw, so scan with your usual beard.

What is my face shape app?

You do not need an app. This face shape detector runs in your phone or desktop browser and analyses the photo on your device.

What is a heart shaped face?

A heart shaped face has a wide forehead and cheekbones that taper to a narrow chin. Oval, round, square, diamond and oblong are the other profiles.

How to measure face shape?

Measure face length and the widths of your forehead, cheekbones and jaw in one unit, then enter them in the measurements option.

What are the different face shapes?

This tool uses six: oval, round, square, heart, diamond and oblong. Charts that add triangle or rectangle describe overlapping patterns.

What eyebrow shape suits my face?

Softer arches suit angular faces and higher arches lengthen round ones. Eyebrow mapping marks the start, arch and end points on your own photo.

How to choose earrings for your face shape?

Pick shapes that contrast your outline: drops for round faces, hoops for angular jaws, wider styles for long faces.

How to determine face shape women?

Women and men use the same method. Pull hair back from the forehead and cheeks so the detector can see your full outline.

Is face shape genetic?

Largely, yes. Bone structure is inherited, while weight, age and muscle tone change the soft tissue over it.

What beard shape is best for my face?

A longer beard adds length to a round face, while shorter sides suit a long face. Scan with your usual beard to see how it reads.

Can you have 2 face shapes?

Yes. Many faces sit between two profiles, which is why the face shape detector shows a second close match next to the main result.

Is face shape detector safe?

Yes. The free scan runs in your browser and never uploads your photo. The paid report asks for separate consent before any upload.

Are face shapes real?

They are useful styling shorthand rather than strict categories, so use the label to guide haircuts and frames.

Can I find my face shape without uploading a photo?

Yes. Choose the measurements option and enter four numbers. The photo scan does not upload either; it runs on your device.

Can the face shape detector use my camera?

Yes. Take one still photo and it is analysed like an upload. The tool does not track live video.

Do I need to sign up to use the face shape detector?

No. The scan, the measurements option and the starter styling tips all work without an account.

Is this face shape detector free?

Yes. The scan and its results are free; only the optional full face report is paid.

Can it also check my jawline or golden ratio?

Use the jawline tester and the golden ratio face calculator for those readings. Both work from the same kind of front photo.

What kind of photo gives the most reliable result?

A straight-on photo at eye level, neutral expression, even light and hair off the face. Wide-angle close-ups widen the cheeks.

Why did I get a different shape from another quiz or app?

Tools use different measurements and thresholds, and quizzes rely on self-assessment. Borderline faces can land on either neighbouring shape.

What can I do with my face shape result?

Shortlist haircuts and glasses, open the guide for your shape, or order the full report for a broader styling plan.
