Who the website helps
The site is for anyone who wants a clearer starting point for describing their facial outline, comparing two similar categories, or understanding why a haircut or frame changes visual balance. The same proportion concepts apply across genders, ages, and personal styles.
How the detector works
After you select Analyze, the application loads MediaPipe Face Landmarker in your browser. MediaPipe supplies facial landmark positions; it does not name a face shape. Project-owned logic compares visible length, width, cheek, jaw, chin, taper, and angle proxies with documented reference patterns. The three closest patterns are presented as estimates.
Why the result is an estimate
Face-shape categories overlap and photos change perspective. Hair, facial hair, expression, lens distance, pose, lighting, and hidden contours can all affect the input. The tool does not identify a person, diagnose a condition, or measure an exact forehead or hairline.
Privacy commitment
Uploaded photos, camera captures, landmarks, and derived measurements remain in the active browser session. They are not uploaded, stored, added to URLs, sent to analytics, or used for training by this website. Removing or replacing an image clears its active object URL and local result.
Content approach
Articles answer the reader's question early, distinguish observation from certainty, and explain limitations. Style guidance is optional and inclusive. We do not rank face shapes, assign beauty scores, or describe one outline as better than another.
Editorial independence
Informational recommendations are written to help readers make their own choices. Advertising, if enabled in the future, will be labelled and separated from editorial decisions. No active advertiser is allowed to purchase a favourable face-shape recommendation.
Publisher information
Face Shape Detector publishes and maintains this website. Editorial questions can be sent to contact@faceshapedetector.online.

Report an error if you find an unclear explanation, broken link, technical issue, or factual mistake. Include the page URL and a concise description so the Face Shape Detector Editorial Team can review it against the visible page and reliable sources where needed.
Technical references
The implementation follows the official MediaPipe Face Landmarker guide for web for browser landmark detection. Temporary image previews and local decoding use standard browser file and image APIs described in the MDN File API reference. These sources describe the underlying APIs; the face-shape categories and scoring logic are owned by this project.
