Real Face Shape Detector

Manual calculator

No camera. Just five measurements.

If you already know your face length, forehead width, cheekbone width, jaw width, and lower-jaw width, you can skip the photo and use the same geometric comparison. It is a rougher read than the landmark model, but entirely transparent.

Enter five measurements

Use any consistent unit — centimetres, inches, or pixels from a straight-on photo. Ratios are what matter, not the unit.

Hairline to the bottom of the chin

Temple to temple, at the widest point

Across the most prominent cheek points

Across the jaw corners, below the ears

Across the lower jaw, above the chin

Manual result

Fill in all five fields and choose “Read my shape”. The result will appear here with the ratios used.

How to measure

A flexible tape and a mirror.

Measure in front of a mirror or ask someone to help. Keep the tape flat against the skin but not tight. Write each number in the same unit. Small errors are normal, so treat the output as a range rather than a precise diagnosis.

  1. Face length: from the hairline at the centre of the forehead to the bottom of the chin.
  2. Forehead width: from temple to temple at the widest point.
  3. Cheekbone width: across the most prominent part of the cheekbones.
  4. Jaw width: across the jaw corners, just below the ears.
  5. Lower-jaw width: across the lower jaw, above the chin.

What it calculates

Ratios, not absolute size.

The calculator compares length to cheek width, forehead to jaw, cheek to jaw, and lower-jaw taper. Those ratios are fed into the same weighted prototype comparison used by the photo detector. Absolute measurements do not matter; the relationships do.

Because it does not measure eye spacing, brow shape, or the jaw contour between landmarks, it may differ from the photo result. Use the two together if you want a second opinion.
