Face Shape Finder
This face shape finder measures one selfie, names your shape out of 7 with the two closest runners-up, and suggests haircuts and frames. Free, no sign-up.
- Free, no sign-up
- 478 face landmarks measured
- Photo never stored
Upload your photo to get your report
Front-facing selfie, good lighting. JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC. Drag & drop or paste (Ctrl+V).
Find my face shapeMeasured on your device. The photo is sent once to the AI for the report; this site never saves it.
Good photo checklist
- Face the camera straight on, with the phone at eye level
- Even, soft light from the front; no strong shadows
- Neutral expression, hair off the face, no sunglasses or filters
- Hold the phone at arm's length or further: close-up selfies stretch the nose and shrink the jaw
How to find my face shape from a photo
It works in the browser on a phone or computer, with nothing to install.

Upload a straight-on selfie
Use a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC from your phone or computer. Pull your hair back from the temples and jaw first, because those edges are what gets measured.

Your face is measured on your device
Your browser maps 478 landmarks and turns them into four numbers: length to cheekbone width, forehead width, jaw width and chin angle. Once the face model has loaded, this takes about 3 seconds.

Read your shape, runners-up and tips
The face shape finder shows your shape, the next two closest shapes with a match %, and haircut and frame tips. The written AI report with feature notes follows below it.
Why this face shape detector shows its work
Your four numbers, not just a label
Every result lists length divided by cheekbone width, forehead and jaw as a % of cheekbone width, and the chin angle in degrees. You can check the call yourself or compare two photos.
The three closest shapes, ranked
Few faces sit dead center in one category. All seven shapes are scored and the top three shown with a match %, so a near tie tells you to read both style tips.
A scale built for photos
The landmark mesh ends just below the hairline, so lengths read shorter than a tape measure would. Our shape profiles were set on real mesh readings, not copied from hairline rules.
Head pose corrected, or flagged
A turned or nodding head is rotated back to face the camera and a tilted one is levelled. Past 12 degrees of turn, 15 up or down or 10 of tilt, the report warns you.
Face shape chart: the 7 shapes and what suits them
Typical readings on our scale, with the haircut and frame tips the face shape finder gives for each shape.
| Telltale readings | Haircuts | Frames | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oval | Length about 1.28 times width, cheekbones widest, softly rounded jaw | Almost any cut; keep volume off the forehead | Most frames |
| Round | Shortest face, about 1.18; wide, soft chin angle near 109° | Height on top, side parts | Angular or rectangular |
| Square | Broad forehead (about 89 %) and broad jaw (about 84 %), angular chin | Soft layers, side-swept fringe | Round or oval |
| Oblong | Longest face, about 1.37; fairly straight sides | Fringes, volume at the sides | Tall frames that break up length |
| Heart | Wide forehead (about 90 %), narrow jaw (about 75 %), pointed chin near 97° | Chin-length cuts, side fringes | Bottom-heavy or rimless |
| Diamond | Narrow forehead (about 83 %) and jaw (about 76 %), cheekbones widest | Fringes, fullness at the chin | Oval or cat-eye |
| Triangle | Narrow forehead (about 83 %) over a jaw as broad as a square's | Volume at the crown and temples | Wider at the top |
What to do with your face shape finder result
Brief your barber or stylist
Show the shape and its runner-up, then ask for a cut that works for both. It turns "something that suits me" into a clear request.
Buy glasses online
Frame shape is hard to judge from a product photo. Filter by the frame types listed for your shape before you order or try on.
Pick the right contouring guide
Makeup guides are written per shape. Knowing whether your forehead, cheekbones or jaw is widest tells you which one to follow.
Shape a beard or sideburns
A beard can redraw the jawline. The jaw reading and chin angle show whether you want more width at the jaw or more length at the chin.
Settle "oval or oblong?"
When friends and quizzes disagree, look at all four numbers. Oblong's profile is longer than oval's, but the match also weighs forehead width, jaw width and chin angle.
Why a tape measure and a photo give different numbers
A tape-measure guide takes length from the hairline to the chin and divides it by cheekbone width. A photo rarely shows the true hairline, and the landmark mesh stops just below it. So the same face reads shorter here: on our scale the oval profile sits near 1.28 and the oblong one near 1.37, and hairline-based numbers don't carry over.
That is why our face shape finder doesn't use tape-measure cut-offs. Each shape has a profile set on mesh readings from our test selfies, and your face is matched on all four numbers at once. In those runs the mesh was found on 10 of 10 faces, and 7 came out oval, 2 round and 1 heart.
Photo checklist for a face shape test
The face shape finder reads four numbers that depend on clean edges at the temples, cheekbones and jaw.
- Pull your hair back from the temples and off the jaw, since hair over either edge moves the forehead or jaw reading.
- Hold the phone at arm's length or further: a close selfie stretches the nose and shrinks the jaw.
- Keep the camera at eye level so your chin is neither pushed forward nor tucked in.
- Take off glasses, because the frames sit across the cheekbone line.
- Keep a relaxed, closed mouth; a wide smile widens the lower face.
- Turn off beauty filters and face-slimming modes, which reshape the jaw on purpose.
- Face soft, even light; a hard shadow under the jaw hides its edge.
Mistakes when reading a face shape result
Mistake: Taking only the top label when the top two are close
Do this instead: Read both shape tips and go with the advice they share.
Mistake: Comparing your length reading with hairline-based numbers from tape-measure guides
Do this instead: Use the readings in the chart above; our scale runs shorter because the mesh stops below the hairline.
Mistake: Testing with a close-up selfie
Do this instead: Re-take at arm's length. A close shot narrows the jaw, which pushes the result toward heart or diamond.
Mistake: Ignoring the head-pose warning
Do this instead: Re-take straight on. The warning means the widths are less reliable than usual.
Mistake: Treating the shape as a rule for every haircut
Do this instead: Hair texture, hairline and the look you want still count. Use the shape to narrow the options, then ask a stylist.
What's free, what happens to your photo, the limits
five free reports a day, no sign-up
Each visitor gets five free reports a day without an account or a card. A report that breaks on our side isn't counted; a photo the AI rejects as unusable is. Past that, leaving an email gets you 20 more that day.
Your photo
This site does not save your photo: it is sent once to the AI for your report and then discarded, and we never use it to train models. The measuring runs in your browser; then the photo and the measurements are sent once to the AI provider for the written report.
Measured versus AI
The face shape, the runners-up and the four numbers are geometry, labelled Measured. Feature notes and tips are an AI opinion, labelled AI estimate.
Where it stops
The face shape finder reads the outline of your face, not your hair texture or hairline, which a stylist in person can weigh. The site is for adults only, so don't upload photos of children.
