Face shape detector: upload a selfie, get your shape

Find your face shape in seconds

YourFaceShape is a free face shape detector. Upload a selfie or turn on your camera, and it measures your forehead, cheekbones, jaw and face length and estimates your face shape from facial landmarks: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong or triangle. No signup, no email.

Your photo is analyzed in your browser and never uploaded to our servers.

How it works

1. Add a photo or use your camera

Look straight at the lens, pull your hair back and keep a neutral expression. Good light from the front matters more than camera quality.

2. We measure four lines

The detector places points on a photo and compares four measurements. Face length in the photo is the landmark length: the forehead landmark to the chin, adjusted, divided by cheekbone width. The quiz's length is hairline to chin. Those are different measurements, so the two tools can disagree. See how we measure.

Measurement	Where it is taken
Forehead width	Across the forehead landmarks, as a share of cheekbone width
Cheekbone width	Across the outer cheekbone landmarks
Jaw width	From the jaw-angle landmark on one side to the other, as a share of cheekbone width
Face length	Landmark length: forehead landmark to chin, adjusted, divided by cheekbone width. The quiz measures hairline to chin.

3. You get your shape — and what to do with it

Your result shows your closest shape, the runner-up, the ratios behind it, and links to haircuts, glasses and beard styles that balance that shape.

The seven face shapes at a glance

Shape	Key proportions	Quick tell
Oval	Length about 1.5× width; forehead slightly wider than jaw	Balanced, softly rounded jaw
Round	Length ≈ width; soft jaw	Fullest at the cheeks, no sharp angles
Square	Length ≈ width; forehead, cheeks and jaw similar	Strong, angular jaw
Heart	Forehead widest, narrow pointed chin	Wide temples, tapering chin
Diamond	Cheekbones widest; forehead and jaw narrower	High, wide cheekbones
Oblong	Length clearly greater than width; sides fairly straight	Long face, similar widths top to bottom
Triangle	Jaw widest, forehead narrowest	Broad jaw, narrower temples

Why your face shape matters

Face shape is a shortcut for choosing what frames your face. Stylists use it to pick haircut length and volume, opticians use it to suggest frame shapes, and barbers use it to shape beards. The general principle is contrast and balance: add width where the face is narrow, add length where it is short, and soften strong angles with curves.

It is a guide, not a rule. Your hair texture, features and personal style matter too — the shape just gives you a smart starting point.

Prefer to answer questions?

If you would rather not use a photo, the face shape quiz asks eight questions about your proportions and gives you an estimate using just a mirror.

Frequently asked questions

How does the face shape detector work?

It finds landmarks on your face—forehead, cheekbones, jawline and chin—measures their widths and your face length, then estimates your face shape from those facial landmarks. Results are a guide, not a diagnosis.

Is the face shape detector free?

Yes. It is free, needs no account and no email address, and you can use it as many times as you like.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. Your photo is analyzed in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. Closing the tab discards it.

Does it work for men?

Yes. Face shape is based on bone structure, so the same seven shapes apply to everyone. Men's results include beard and haircut suggestions.

What if I get two shapes?

That is normal. Many faces are a blend, such as oval-heart or square-oblong. We show your closest match and the runner-up so you can read both guides.

How should I take the photo?

Face the camera straight on, hair pulled back, neutral expression, even light, and no glasses. Hold the phone at eye level, not above or below.

What face shape do I have?

Upload a front-facing photo on this page. The detector estimates oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong or triangle from facial landmarks. If two shapes are close, it shows both instead of forcing one. Results are a guide, not a diagnosis.

Is a face shape test or calculator different from this detector?

A test or calculator usually means questions or measurements you enter yourself. This detector reads a photo. They answer the same question: the face shape quiz is the question version, and this page is the photo version. Neither is a medical measurement.

Why does the quiz disagree with the photo?

They measure length differently. The photo uses landmark length: the forehead landmark to the chin, adjusted, divided by cheekbone width. The quiz measures hairline to chin. Photo angle and how you answer can also shift the result, so the two can disagree. See how we measure.
