CLEAR ANSWERS

A few things to know.

Understand what the tool does, how your photo is handled, and what your result means.

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.

Can I use my phone camera?

Yes, in a supported browser over HTTPS or localhost. Camera access is requested only when you choose to open the camera. You can select a front or rear camera where available. The camera stops when you capture, close it, or leave the tool.

Are the recommendations personalized by gender?

We never infer gender, ethnicity, identity, or other sensitive characteristics. You can optionally choose a style direction and hair length yourself. All recommendations come from a local editorial database, and every style is open to anyone.

Does the tool give a beauty score?

No. Proportions describe geometry, not attractiveness. There is no perfect face shape or ideal ratio in this tool. Match scores describe how closely a photo fits our rules, not how good you look.

How do I save my result?

Choose Print / Save PDF to use your browser’s print dialog, or download a PNG report card. Your photo is excluded by default. Select the explicit include-photo option if you want it in your personal report. Downloads stay under your control.

Why did analysis reject my photo?

The tool checks face count, size, head pose, exposure and sharpness. It may also detect incomplete or inconsistent landmarks. Follow the specific message and try another photo. Occlusion checks are limited, so you must also confirm that your entire face is visible.

Which browsers work?

Use an up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari with WebAssembly, Web Workers and image decoding support. GPU acceleration is tried first and CPU processing is used if it fails. Very old browsers or devices with limited memory may need a smaller image or another browser.
