Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Face Shape Detector free?
Yes. The face shape detector is free to use, and you do not need an account or app. Upload a photo in your browser to receive face-shape probabilities and proportion measurements.
How is my uploaded photo processed?
Your photo is securely sent to our face-analysis service to generate the result and is not displayed publicly. For details about processing and retention, review our Privacy Policy.
Do I need an account or app?
No. The detector works in modern mobile and desktop browsers without registration, an app download, or an installation.
Can it help me find hairstyles for my face shape?
Yes. After identifying your face shape, explore the seven face-shape guides for haircut recommendations or use the AI Hairstyle Try On tool to preview different looks.
How can I get the most accurate detection results?
For best results, use a well-lit, front-facing photo with your hair pulled back from your face. Look directly at the camera with a neutral expression. Avoid wearing glasses, heavy makeup, or accessories that might obscure your facial features. The photo should clearly show your jawline, forehead, and cheekbones. Our AI works best with high-resolution images where your face takes up most of the frame.
What face shapes can your AI detect?
Our AI can detect 7 common face shapes: Oval, Round, Square, Heart, Diamond, Triangle, and Oblong. For each analysis, we provide probability percentages for all shapes since many people have mixed features. For example, you might be 60% Oval and 40% Heart. This detailed breakdown helps you understand your unique facial structure better than a single label.
How long does the face shape detection take?
Most analyses finish within a few seconds. Processing time can vary with image size, device performance, network conditions, and service availability.
What do Face Ratio, Three Courts, and Five Eyes mean?
Face Ratio compares face width, cheekbone width, jaw width, and face length. "Three Courts" divides the face vertically into the forehead, middle, and lower sections. "Five Eyes" compares horizontal facial width using eye-width proportions. These measurements help explain how the detected face shape was estimated.
Why do you show multiple face shape probabilities?
Most people don't fit perfectly into one face shape category - they have features from multiple shapes. For example, someone might have an oval face with a slightly square jaw, or a heart-shaped face with rounder cheeks. Showing probabilities (e.g., 60% Oval, 30% Heart, 10% Round) gives you a more accurate understanding of your unique facial structure and helps you choose hairstyles that work for your specific combination of features.
