Free face shape detector

Name the outline in your photo — then use it for glasses and cuts

Upload a clear front shot. This free face shape detector compares length, jaw, and forehead width to common outlines, shows how close the runners-up were, and leaves you with an on-page report you can download.

People search “what face shape do I have?” when they are choosing frames, testing bangs, or arguing with a bathroom mirror — not when they want a beauty score. This page answers that styling question with landmark ratios and a probability mix across seven patterns, including diamond face shape and oblong. Entertainment and styling reference only.

What is my face shape detector?

It is a photo-based outline reader built for one job: map your front-facing photo onto the shapes stylists and opticians already talk about. After upload, you get a headline match, a multi-dimensional probability mix across round, oval, square, heart, oblong, rectangle, and diamond face shape, three key proportions (length-to-width, jaw-to-cheek, forehead-to-cheek), and short style ideas for hair and frames. The report stays on this page; download a copy when you want one. No account wall. No separate unlock. One honest photo is enough to start.

How to determine face shape

Face shape is the silhouette you see looking straight on: how long the face is versus how wide, where the widest point sits, and whether the jaw softens, squares off, or tapers. Those cues became shorthand in salons and optical shops because they help talk about bangs, layers, and frame height — not because one outline is “better.”

You can still check by hand. Pull hair fully off the face, stand square to a mirror in even light, and ask: Is length clearly greater than width? Are the cheekbones the widest point? Do forehead and jaw sit near the same width? Is the chin pointed, rounded, or more angular? Note what you see before you open a chart. Plenty of faces land between two labels — oval leaning square, or a soft diamond face shape that is not a textbook diagram.

This online face shape detector finds facial landmarks in your upload and scores three stable ratios: face length versus cheek width, jaw width versus cheek width, and forehead width versus cheek width. Those ratios are compared with common outline centers. The headline is the closest match for this image; the bars underneath show how near the other shapes came. That mix is how you spot a close call instead of pretending every face fits one clean bucket.

Photo quality still rules the result. A three-quarter selfie, a low camera, heavy contour, or a filter that slims the jaw will shift the ratios. A calm, passport-style front shot — eyes to camera, light even, jaw and both cheeks visible — usually steadies the read more than re-running a skewed first pass. Treat the label as styling vocabulary for this frame.

Seven face shapes this detector can return

Quick reference for the patterns in the report. Match what you see in the mirror, then confirm with an upload if you want the landmark read. Sitting between two shapes is common.

Round

Length and width sit close together, with softer jaw corners. Soft layers and a little crown height often add vertical interest in photos; very cheek-width blunt cuts can read wider on camera.

Diamond

A diamond face shape usually means the cheekbones read widest, with a narrower forehead and a tapered jaw. Hair that adds temple width, or frames that soften the cheek line, are common try-ons when cheeks lead.

Rectangle

The outline looks longer than wide, with forehead and jaw staying fairly even. Softer bangs, side volume, or mid-length waves can shorten how length reads in a still frame.

Square

Forehead, cheeks, and jaw sit near the same width, often with a stronger jaw line. Soft waves or a light break near the jaw ease corners if you want that look; square names geometry, not personality.

Heart

A wider forehead or temples taper toward a narrower chin. Chin-length volume or a soft fringe can balance the upper half in portraits when the top of the face leads.

Oblong

Face length clearly outruns width. Width through the sides of the hair, or less height at the crown, often changes how long the face reads. Chin tilt stretches length fast — retake before you rewrite a cut.

Oval

Length is a bit greater than width, with a gently tapered jaw. Most everyday cuts and frames sit easily here; use the label as a preference map for fringe, waves, and frame size, not as a prize category.

What face shape do I have?

For one photo, the honest answer is: the outline geometry in that frame. When analysis finishes, the report stays on this page. Here is how to read each piece without turning a styling shortcut into overthinking.

Headline match, lead among shapes, and the mix

The detected face shape is the closest center for this upload. “Lead among shapes” shows how far that label sat ahead of the next candidates. The probability mix underneath is the multi-dimensional view: mid-range splits usually mean the image sits between categories or the photo was a tough read. Retake with even light and a straight-on angle before treating the first call as final. Those numbers are model certainty for this image — not grades of attractiveness.

Key proportions and style ideas

Length-to-width, jaw-to-cheek, and forehead-to-cheek describe this upload only. Angle, smile, and hair can move them. Below that, style ideas suggest hair, glasses, and simple extras that often play well with the matched outline — reversible experiments, not prescriptions. Skip any tip that does not feel like you.

When the mirror and the tool disagree

Hair over the jaw, a raised smile, glasses glare, and soft focus all move landmarks. A diamond face shape call can tip toward oval or heart if contour or camera height widens the cheeks. Compare angle and light before you compare yourself to a chart. If two honest uploads still disagree, you are probably between shapes — borrow styling ideas from the stronger signals and leave the rest.

How to use this online face shape detector

Three steps from photo to outline read. Keep the framing front-facing the whole way.

1. Upload a clear front photo

Camera at eye level, even light, hair off both cheeks and the jaw. Skip beauty filters that reshape the outline. Extreme smiles and low angles stretch length and can push oblong or rectangle higher than a neutral expression would.

2. Read the on-page face shape report

When processing finishes, you see the detected face shape, lead among shapes, the probability mix, key proportions, and style ideas — all on this page. Check the runners-up before you plan a whole new cut. A close call is useful context.

3. Download a copy if you want one

Save the report image to keep, compare after a clearer retake, or show a stylist as a rough reference — and say it is an entertainment preview from a free face shape detector, not a salon brief. Or close the page. Either is fine.
