Photo examples
A better photo. A clearer reading.
Compare these six pairs before choosing your photo. The examples show photo conditions, not face shape results.
Use even lighting
Face a window or a soft light so your features are easy to see.
Keep your face visible
Move hair off your forehead, cheeks, and jawline.
Take off your glasses
Remove glasses so the detector can locate your features more clearly.
Relax your expression
A neutral expression keeps your cheeks and jaw in their resting position.
Fill the frame
Include your whole head and shoulders, with enough facial detail to measure.
The shape library
Seven shapes. Endless individuality.
Most faces share features of more than one shape. These outlines are guides to proportions, not boxes you need to fit into.
Oval
A little longer than wide, with a gently tapered jaw.
Oblong
Noticeably longer than wide, with relatively even sides.
Round
Similar length and width, with a soft, curved outline.
Square
A broad jaw, with similar upper and lower face widths.
Heart
A wider upper face that narrows toward the chin.
Diamond
Cheekbones stand out above a narrower forehead and jaw.
Triangle
A wider lower face with a relatively narrower forehead.
From photo to proportions
From Your Photo to Your Face Shape
The Free Face Shape Detector combines on-device facial landmark detection with a geometric comparison. Your photo stays in your browser through every step.
Find my face shape ↗Find one face
Choose a portrait or capture a camera frame. The detector checks for a face and asks for another photo if it finds multiple people or a strongly turned head.
Locate 68 facial landmarks
The face-api model maps points around the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and face outline. These coordinates let us estimate your facial proportions.
Compare seven shape templates
We compare three width-based ratios with oval, oblong, round, square, heart, diamond, and triangle templates. Each shape receives an independent match score.
Explore the result
See your closest shape, the measured ratios, and styling ideas. If the scores are close, consider both shapes when choosing a look.
Four estimates, three ratios
The Proportions Behind Your Face Shape
We compare proportions rather than centimeters. These are estimates from a two-dimensional photo, so camera angle and perspective still matter.
The detector uses landmarks on your own photo.
Face length
The distance from the midpoint of the eyebrows to the chin, extended by a fixed factor to estimate full face length.
The hairline is estimated, not detected.Forehead width
The span between the outer eyebrow landmarks, adjusted slightly as an estimate of upper-face width.
This is a proxy for forehead width.Cheekbone width
The distance between two outer face-contour landmarks near the upper cheeks.
This is the reference width for all three ratios.Jaw width
The distance between corresponding landmarks on the left and right sides of the lower face.
This describes lower-face width, not jaw angle.Face length ÷ cheekbone widthForehead width ÷ cheekbone widthJaw width ÷ cheekbone width
Understanding your match
How We Find Your Closest Face Shape
All three ratios contribute to the result. The table shows the reference proportions used by this detector, not universal definitions of each face shape.
| Face shape | Length / width | Forehead / width | Jaw / width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | 1.42 | 0.91 | 0.77 |
| Oblong | 1.70 | 0.94 | 0.84 |
| Round | 1.18 | 0.92 | 0.83 |
| Square | 1.25 | 0.97 | 0.94 |
| Heart | 1.40 | 1.02 | 0.70 |
| Diamond | 1.45 | 0.80 | 0.72 |
| Triangle | 1.35 | 0.84 | 0.96 |
Closer proportions score higher
Each ratio is compared with its template value, allowing for variation. The combined differences produce a score from 0 to 100; the highest score becomes your closest match.
A close result can have two influences
We flag overlap when the leading score is below 45, or when the two highest scores are less than 12 points apart. Scores do not add up to 100 and do not express certainty.
See the scoring calculation
For each shape, subtract its reference value from each measured ratio, then divide by 0.22 for length, 0.12 for forehead width, and 0.14 for jaw width. Square and add the three values to get D. The score is round(100 × e−D/2). These settings are heuristic choices, not a clinically validated classification.
Put the result to use
What Your Face Shape Can Help You Choose
It gives you a language for describing the balance you want in a look. Personal taste, hair texture, comfort, and fit matter too.
Choose where to add volume
Use your result to explore height at the crown, width at the sides, or a fringe. Compare how each choice changes the outline around your face.
Compare frame shapes
Try curved and angular glasses to see whether you prefer contrast or repetition. Check bridge fit and frame width as well as appearance.
Plan facial hair
Experiment with a shorter chin, fuller sides, or a rounded beard outline. Your growth pattern and preferred maintenance routine help narrow the options.
Ideas to try, not rules to follow
Style Ideas for Your Face Shape
Start with your closest match, then explore neighboring shapes. Choose the ideas that fit your hair, routine, and personal style.
Oval
A little longer than wide, with a gently tapered jaw.
- Hair
- Try a textured bob, soft layers, or a side part.
- Glasses
- Experiment with rectangular or softly angular frames.
- Beard
- Short, balanced stubble keeps your proportions visible.
Oblong
Noticeably longer than wide, with relatively even sides.
- Hair
- Try a fringe and volume at the sides; keep crown height modest.
- Glasses
- Deep, wider frames can visually break up face length.
- Beard
- Keep the chin shorter and a little fullness at the sides.
Round
Similar length and width, with a soft, curved outline.
- Hair
- Try longer layers, an off-center part, or a little crown height.
- Glasses
- Rectangular frames introduce some contrast to soft curves.
- Beard
- Short sides and a slightly longer chin add definition.
Square
A broad jaw, with similar upper and lower face widths.
- Hair
- Try waves, feathered layers, or a loose side part.
- Glasses
- Round or oval frames soften a more angular outline.
- Beard
- A rounded beard outline can soften the jaw corners.
Heart
A wider upper face that narrows toward the chin.
- Hair
- Try chin-length layers or a side-swept fringe.
- Glasses
- Lightweight oval or bottom-accented frames balance the upper face.
- Beard
- A little fullness around the jaw can balance a narrow chin.
Diamond
Cheekbones stand out above a narrower forehead and jaw.
- Hair
- Try a soft fringe or a chin-length bob with movement.
- Glasses
- Oval or browline frames complement prominent cheekbones.
- Beard
- Keep the chin neat, with some fullness near the jaw corners.
Triangle
A wider lower face with a relatively narrower forehead.
- Hair

Before you try it
A few good questions.
How does the Free Face Shape Detector work?
Choose a photo or take one with your camera. The detector finds 68 facial landmarks on your device, estimates face length and forehead, cheekbone, and jaw widths, then compares their proportions with seven geometric face-shape templates.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no account, subscription, credit charge, or limit on the number of photos you can analyze with this detector.
Does my photo leave my device?
The detector processes your photo in your browser. It does not upload or store your photo on our servers. Model files are downloaded from Veyvia when you first analyze a photo. Clear the photo or close the tab to discard it.
How accurate is a face shape test from a photo?
Treat it as a styling starting point. Camera distance, head angle, expression, hair, and lighting can change the measured outline. Forehead width and full face length are estimated from eyebrow landmarks, not a detected hairline. We do not claim a validated accuracy percentage.
What do the match scores mean?
Each score describes how closely your measured proportions fit one of our geometric templates. Scores are independent, do not need to add up to 100, and are not probabilities. Close scores may mean your face combines features of two shapes.
Which photo should I use?
Use a sharp photo of one person facing straight ahead, with even lighting and a neutral expression. Pull hair away from the face and remove anything covering the outline. JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10 MB are supported.
Can I try a hairstyle after finding my face shape?
Yes. Use the hairstyle suggestions as ideas, then visit our AI Hairstyle tool to preview a look. That is a separate tool with its own upload and pricing requirements.
