Free Face Shape Detector
Upload a clear front-facing photo to estimate your face shape and understand the visible proportions behind the result. Your photo is processed in your browser and is not stored.

How the analysis works
The tool separates landmark detection from face-shape classification, then explains the result in plain language.
Locate visible landmarks
MediaPipe Face Landmarker identifies points around the face. It does not label your shape or identify who you are.
Compare proportions
Project-owned logic compares visible length, maximum width, cheek, upper-face, jaw, chin, taper, and angle proxies.
Explain close matches
The seven similarity scores total 100%. The leading estimate and two secondary matches show where categories overlap.
Why it remains an estimate: Face-shape categories are informal patterns, not diagnoses. A selfie cannot reveal an exact hairline, and camera perspective or hidden contours can change visible proportions.
Shape library
Compare the seven common face shapes
Oval
- Longer than it is wide
- Gently curved jaw
- Balanced upper and lower face
Round
- Length and width are relatively close
- Full-looking cheeks
- Soft jaw and chin
Square
- Similar length and width
- Broad jaw
- Clear jaw corners
Heart
- Upper face appears wider
- Jaw tapers inward
- Narrow or pointed chin
Diamond
- Cheekbones appear widest
- Narrower upper face
- Tapered jaw and chin
Oblong
- Noticeably longer than wide
- Fairly straight sides
- Length is the defining feature
Triangle
- Jaw appears widest
- Upper face looks narrower
- Strong lower-face structure
Manual method
Prefer to identify your shape without a tool?
Use one consistent photo, compare visible length and width, then examine cheekbones, jaw width, jaw corners, and chin. The guide includes a worked example and explains camera-lens distortion.
Follow the at-home stepsHair principles
Style the effect you want
Length, volume, fringe, parting, texture, density, and maintenance all matter. Learn what each choice changes without treating face shape as a beauty rule.
Explore hairstyle guidanceFrame and fit
Use shape after fit
Compare curves, angles, frame width, and lens depth only after considering bridge comfort, temples, pupillary distance, prescription, and optician advice.
Choose glasses thoughtfullyResults in context
Why two photos may not agree
A close phone lens can broaden central features, while camera height changes the apparent upper-to-lower taper. Head tilt, expression, uneven light, blur, hairstyle, facial hair, and a hidden jaw add more variation.
For a useful comparison, keep distance, pose, lighting, and expression consistent. If two neighbouring shapes remain close, use manual proportions to see which feature creates the overlap.
Improve photo consistencyMixed characteristics are normal
You might have oval-like length, diamond-like cheek emphasis, and a chin between both. Use the primary estimate as a starting point and the secondary match to refine styling choices.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find my face shape?
Use a clear front-facing photo or compare visible face length, maximum width, cheekbone width, jaw width, jaw angle, and chin shape manually. The complete pattern matters more than one feature.
Is the tool free?
Yes. The detector and every guide are available without an account or payment.
Is my photo uploaded or stored?
No. Your selected photo and derived landmarks and measurements are processed in the current browser page and are not sent to our server or analytics.
Which photo produces the clearest result?
Use one face, a straight head, a relaxed expression, eye-level camera placement, moderate distance, even front light, and a fully visible jaw and upper face.
Why did two photos give different answers?
Distance, lens perspective, camera height, head tilt, expression, light, hair, and visible jaw detail can change the measured landmark relationships.
Can someone have characteristics of two face shapes?
Yes. Categories overlap. A primary estimate with close secondary matches often describes natural variation more honestly than one rigid label.
Can men and women use the same detector?
Yes. It compares visible proportion relationships and does not infer or require gender.
Can hairstyle affect the visible result?
Yes. Hair can hide the cheeks, jaw, temples, or visible upper-face area. Pull it away from the outline for analysis.
Is the result guaranteed?
No. It is an informal estimate from one photo, not a scientific, biometric, medical, or diagnostic conclusion.
Can I determine my shape manually?
Yes. The at-home guide explains a photo, mirror, and measurement method without claiming false millimetre precision.

Round face vs oval face
Use length, cheek width, jaw taper, chin, and one simple photo test.
Oval face vs oblong face
See how stronger length and straighter sides separate two similar outlines.
Why results change between photos
Control perspective, pose, expression, lighting, and jaw visibility.
Can you have more than one face shape?
Use secondary matches as helpful context instead of a contradiction.

A respectful tool, not an appearance score
We explain visible proportion patterns and their limits. The website does not infer identity, ethnicity, health, personality, emotion, gender, attractiveness, or beauty. Style suggestions remain optional and inclusive.
