START WITH A STRAIGHT VIEW
How to tell your face shape
Use a straight-on photo taken at eye level, or look into a mirror with your head level. Pull hair away from your temples and relax your jaw. If you take a photo, step back from the lens so your nose, cheeks and jaw are all seen from a similar distance. Avoid a raised camera, a tilted head and a wide smile when you compare outlines.
Compare the outline before choosing a label. First ask whether the face looks distinctly long or whether its length and width are fairly close. Then find the broadest part and follow how the sides turn into the chin. The pattern across those observations is more useful than any one number.
Try the step-by-step face shape check ↗Four measurements behind face shape
- Visible face length
- The vertical span from the top of the visible forehead region to the chin. A hairline hidden by fringe is a poor reference point.
- Cheekbone width
- The span across the outer cheeks at cheekbone level. Use this as a reference for the widths above and below.
- Upper-face width
- The width near the temples. The tool estimates this from landmarks; it does not map the hairline.
- Jaw width
- The span across the sides of the lower face. Notice the turn into the chin as well as the width itself.
GET TO KNOW YOUR OUTLINE
Compare all six outlines ↗Six face shapes and how to spot them
Use these clues to narrow down your options. Many people see traits from more than one outline.
Oval
An oval outline is moderately longer than it is wide. The cheekbones are usually the broadest point, with a small difference in width at the temples and jaw. Follow the curve from the cheek down toward the chin. It usually tapers gradually. If length is the first thing you notice, compare oblong. A sharper change in width on either side of the cheekbones is a clue to check diamond.
Read the oval guide ↗Round
Start with the span across the cheeks and compare it with the visible length. On a round outline, the two are relatively close and the lower edge curves toward the chin. Check how the jaw turns below each ear. A clear corner and a jaw close to the cheekbones in width suggest square. Use a relaxed expression for the comparison, since a smile can push the cheeks outward.
Read the round guide ↗Square
Check whether the temples, cheeks and jaw have roughly similar widths. The jaw tends to stay broad until it turns in toward the chin. The location of that turn gives you a better clue than an exact length-to-width ratio. If you also see a distinctly long outline, compare oblong. If the edges are softer and the proportions look compact, look at round.
Read the square guide ↗Heart
Look at the difference between the temples and jaw. A heart outline stays broad through the upper part and narrows below the cheeks. A pointed chin can make the taper easier to see. The hairline can have any shape. Sweep hair away from the temples before comparing widths. When the cheekbones extend much farther out than the temples, look at diamond too.
Read the heart guide ↗Diamond
Find the broadest span across the cheekbones, then see whether both the temples and the jaw pull inward. Compare the outer edges rather than the highlights on your cheeks. A narrow jaw also appears in heart outlines, so the temple width helps you tell them apart. If the transition from the cheeks to the temples is slight and gradual, consider oval.
Read the diamond guide ↗Oblong
Look for a noticeably long outline relative to the distance across your cheekbones. The sides often keep more of their width before turning in toward the chin, which can distinguish it from oval. The jaw can be curved or angular. Check a second photo taken at eye level if the first was a close selfie. A head tilt or a cropped forehead can change the apparent length.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Face shape questions, answered
A transparent tool starts with clear answers.
All questions & answers ↗Is FaceShapeAtlas really free?
Yes. Face analysis, hairstyle and glasses suggestions, and report downloads are free. There is no account, subscription, credit system, or payment step.
Does my photo leave my device?
Your photo is analyzed directly in your browser. It is not uploaded to our servers. The browser downloads the website, model and analysis software as static files. Photos and measurements are held only in memory until you reset or leave the tool.
How accurate is the result?
The result is an approximate geometric description, not a scientifically validated diagnosis. MediaPipe estimates landmarks; our transparent rules compare their proportions with six shape prototypes. Lighting, pose, facial hair and camera perspective can affect the result. Closely matched shapes are shown together.
What kind of photo should I choose?
Use a sharp, evenly lit photo of one person facing the camera at eye level. Keep the full face visible, move hair away from the sides, remove sunglasses or coverings, and use a relaxed expression. Avoid wide-angle close-up selfies and heavy filters.
What if I see a different face shape?
Many faces sit between categories. You can choose a different shape in the results to explore its style suggestions. Your measurements and original automatic result remain clearly labeled.
