Six useful descriptions. Countless individual variations. Get familiar with the shapes before you explore your own.
An oval outline combines moderate length with cheekbones that are slightly wider than the lower jaw. The transition from cheek to chin is usually gradual. Oval and oblong can overlap when a photograph makes the face appear longer.
Explore a range of lengths. A layered cut or a softly structured frame can echo your natural balance.
Oval face shape guide ↗A round outline has relatively balanced vertical and horizontal dimensions. Its lower-face contour tends to turn gradually instead of forming a pronounced corner. Round and square can share very similar width ratios; the jaw contour is one useful distinction.
If you want contrast, try some height at the crown or frames with a more defined top edge.
Round face shape guide ↗A square outline has relatively similar upper-face, cheekbone and jaw widths, with a more angular turn near the jaw. A square face can still be longer than it is wide. Our categories describe the overall outline, not an exact polygon.
Soft layers and rounded frames can introduce contrast. A structured look can also celebrate your angles.
Square face shape guide ↗A heart-like outline has more width in the upper face and a narrower lower jaw. This tool estimates upper-face width from the temples, not the hairline. A widow’s peak is neither required nor measured. Heart and diamond may overlap.
Try movement around the jaw, a relaxed side part, or light, rounded glasses.
Heart face shape guide ↗A diamond-like outline has its widest region around the cheekbones. Both the upper-face estimate and the jaw are narrower in comparison. Hair, perspective and shadows can change how prominent the cheekbones appear in a photo.
Explore soft fringe, volume near the temples, and frames that draw attention to the brow.
Diamond face shape guide ↗An oblong outline is longer relative to cheekbone width than the other prototypes. Upper-face and jaw widths can still vary. Camera distance and head pitch can change this ratio, so a level, front-facing photograph is especially helpful.
Try width at the sides, a fringe, or deeper frames when you want to balance vertical length.
Oblong face shape guide ↗The tool compares visible face length, cheekbone width, estimated upper-face width and jaw width. A lower-face contour angle adds a small amount of information about angularity. Each measurement is normalized, so the result does not depend on the size of the displayed photograph.
MediaPipe supplies landmarks, not a face shape label. Our own rule-based engine compares your measurements with six documented geometric prototypes. A score of 80 means a closer match to a prototype than 50; it does not mean an 80% probability of having that shape.
Categories overlap. A long face with a broad jaw may resemble both oblong and square outlines. The results include the two leading matches, all six scores, and an explanation of the measurements. A small score gap is labeled as a mixed result.
A single photograph cannot reveal your full three-dimensional structure. Hairline position is not reliably visible, so upper-face width is always an estimate. Focal length, head pose, facial hair, expression and lighting can change the apparent outline. Use these descriptions as a starting point for exploration.
