About Face Shape Scanner
Who runs Face Shape Scanner, how the free face shape detector works, how the site is funded, and how to get in touch.
Face Shape Scanner is a free tool that answers one question — "what is my face shape?" — and then helps you use the answer: which glasses, haircuts and brows suit you. It is built and run by an independent developer, with no investors and no sign-up.
What we do
- Detect your face shape. Add a selfie or use your camera. The detector finds 478 points on your face and measures your face length, forehead, cheekbones and jaw, then matches those proportions to one of seven shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong or triangle. The result shows the measurements, so you can see why.
- Recommend glasses. For each shape we recommend the frame styles that balance it, explain why, and list the styles to avoid.
- Let you try them on. The glasses try-on places each recommended frame style on your own photo, sized from the distance between your pupils.
- Explain each face shape. Every shape has a guide covering how to tell, glasses, haircuts, brows and common mix-ups.
Privacy by design
Everything runs in your web browser. Your photo is never uploaded to our servers, and nothing about your face is stored. Closing the page discards it. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
How the site is funded
The tool is free. We may earn money from advertising and from affiliate links to eyeglasses retailers: if you buy after clicking one, the retailer may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are disclosed. Retailers never pay to change a recommendation — which frames suit which face shape is decided by fixed rules, not by who pays.
Accuracy
Face shape is a style guide, not a medical or scientific measurement. Many faces sit between two shapes, and hair, camera angle and lighting all change the result. Use it as a starting point, not a verdict.
