Face shape FAQ
Face shape detector questions, answered plainly.
Clear answers about your photo, camera, private analysis, and how to use a face-shape estimate well.
Analyze my faceDoes my photo leave my device?
No. The analyzer runs in your browser. Your photo, landmarks, and derived measurements are not uploaded to this site or sent to a server.
Can I use my camera instead of uploading a photo?
Yes. Select Use camera to let your browser request permission, then capture a photo for the current local analysis. The captured image is not uploaded or saved by this site, and you can choose a file instead if you prefer not to use the camera.
What kind of photo works best?
Choose a clear JPG, PNG, or WebP photo with one face looking forward in even light. Keep the chin level and move hair away from the forehead, cheeks, and jaw when possible. Very close, wide-angle, filtered, or strongly posed photos can make proportions harder to compare.
How accurate is a face shape result?
A face shape is an estimate based on visible proportions, not a scientific diagnosis. Lighting, pose, hair, and camera perspective can affect the reading, so use the result as a style starting point.
Why do I get a nearby second face shape?
Many faces sit between familiar categories. A nearby shape means more than one overall pattern is plausible, and both guides may offer useful style ideas.
Do I need an account or pay to use the analyzer?
No. The current face shape analyzer is free to use without an account.
Is the face shape detector free to use online?
Yes. The current detector works in your browser without an account or app download. It provides a private style-oriented estimate; it is not a medical, beauty, or demographic assessment.
Does the site make beauty, health, age, or demographic judgments?
No. My Face Shape only offers face-shape and style-direction guidance. It does not provide beauty scores, medical conclusions, or demographic inferences.
