AI Face Shape Detector
What Happens During a Face Shape Scan?
What Happens During a Face Shape Scan starts with the outer line of the face, not with one feature in the middle of it. During the scan the app finds facial landmarks and measures the outline.
The app compares those same widths on a straight selfie. It returns the closest of the seven outlines. The picture above is the pin for this guide. The same page is the link on the pins that belong with it.

How to read the outline
If you searched for “during a face scan”, stay with the contour. Name the shape only after you can see where the face is long and where it is wide.
It then chooses the closest shape. Face the camera, use even light, and keep hair off the jaw if you can.
A prepared photo gives the landmarks a clear edge. Yes, when the selfie shows a front-facing face and the outline is visible.
The detector compares that outline with seven shapes. The scanner analyzes the outer contour and the main proportions: length, forehead, cheekbones, and jaw.
When two names both seem possible
It is looking for a shape match. A clearer result comes from a level camera, even light, and a centered face.
Retake the photo if the jaw is cut off. On iPhone, take or choose a front-facing photo and let the app measure the outline.
You do not draw the guides. Manual measuring uses a mirror and four lines.
A scan estimates those same lines from a selfie so you can skip the tape. Read the shape name first.
Then look at the outline it was matched to. Any confidence note means how close that match was, not a grade of the face.
Confidence describes how close the outline was to one shape versus the others. A lower match means two shapes were close, not that the photo failed a test.
The process is photo, landmarks, then the closest shape. Each panel is a proportion step, not a new kind of score.
A shadow on one cheek moves where the width appears to sit. Even light keeps the outline honest. Decide which area is widest before you say a shape name. The widest point is what starts the name.
Take the photo straight
Use one photo, taken straight on, with the camera at eye level. Hair only needs to be clear of the hairline and the jaw. A tilt, a shadow on one cheek, or a chin that is lifted will change the outline before you have even started.
Look at the forehead, the cheeks, and the jaw as three widths. Then compare the length of the face with the width. That is the whole reading.

How do I use “How to Get a Clearer Face Shape Result”?
A clearer result comes from a level camera, even light, and a centered face. Use one still photo. A chin that drops or lifts between shots will not agree with itself about the jaw.
How do I use “From Selfie to Face Shape: The Process”?
The process is photo, landmarks, then the closest shape. Hold the phone at eye level. A camera above your eyes makes the forehead look wider than it is.
