Face shape guide
Face shape is an estimate based on facial proportions. Explore the common categories below to learn what each shape generally looks like.
Frequently asked questions
How does the face shape analyzer work?
MyFaceShaper uses facial landmarks detected in your browser and compares proportions such as face width, height, cheekbone area and jaw width. The result is an estimate, not a medical or scientific diagnosis.
Do you upload my photo?
The current analyzer processes the selected image in your browser using the face-landmark model. The site does not need to send the photo to a server to calculate the estimate.
What photo gives the best result?
Use a clear, front-facing photo with your full face visible, good lighting and minimal obstruction. A neutral expression can also make the outline easier to detect.
How to Find Your Face Shape
Learning how to find your face shape starts with a photo that shows your natural facial outline. Choose an image in which your whole face is visible, pull hair away from your forehead and cheeks if possible, and remove anything that hides the jawline. A simple portrait taken at eye level is more useful than a close-up from above or below. Once you have a suitable image, upload it to the MyFaceShaper face shape analyzer to receive an estimate.
A clear, front-facing photo works best because facial proportions are easiest to compare when both sides of the face are shown evenly. Look directly toward the camera, keep your head upright and use soft, even lighting. Strong shadows can make one cheek or part of the jaw appear narrower, while a wide-angle selfie taken too close to the camera may exaggerate the center of the face. For the clearest face shape from a photo, use a neutral expression and avoid tilting or turning your head.
Most face shape guides use six common categories. An oval face is usually longer than it is wide, with balanced proportions and a softly rounded jaw. A round face has a similar width and length with gentle contours. A square face often has a broad forehead and a defined jaw of comparable width. An oblong face is noticeably longer in relation to its width. A heart shape tends to be wider around the forehead and narrower toward the chin, while a diamond shape typically has prominent cheekbones with a narrower forehead and jaw.

MyFaceShaper provides an estimate by detecting facial landmarks and comparing measurements such as face height, overall width, cheekbone width and jaw width. These proportions help the analyzer identify the category that most closely matches the visible outline. Face shapes are not rigid labels, however. Many people share traits from two categories, so the result is best treated as a practical starting point for exploring hairstyles, glasses or grooming ideas rather than a definitive classification.
Results can vary from one image to another. Photo angle, camera distance, lighting and facial expression can all change how facial landmarks appear. Smiling may widen the cheeks, shadows may alter the apparent jawline, and a turned head can make the two sides look uneven. If your estimate seems unexpected, try another recent, well-lit photo taken straight on. Comparing a few consistent images gives you a better chance of identifying the face shape that most closely reflects your usual proportions.
