AI Face Shape Detector & Scanner
Your Face Shape Scan Explained
Your Face Shape Scan Explained starts with the outer line of the face, not with one feature in the middle of it. A scan explanation is short.
A scan is a straight photo plus a comparison. The phone does the comparison. You still need a clear picture. 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 “face shape scan explained”, stay with the contour. Name the shape only after you can see where the face is long and where it is wide.
The photo supplied the outline, and the outline matched one shape more than the others. Use it by choosing a straight-on photo, waiting for the outline, and reading the shape name.
Digital means the lines are estimated for you. The transformation is a photo in and a shape out.
The middle step is landmarks, which you do not have to manage. A scanner can identify a face type when the selfie is front-facing and the jaw is visible.
When two names both seem possible
The type is the closest of the seven. Manual checking compares the same four lines in a mirror.
AI estimates those lines from a photo. The question each answers is the face shape.
Get started with one clear, front-facing photo and even light. You do not prepare measurements first.
The technology finds a face, drops points, and compares distances with seven outlines. Facial shape is the outline those distances support.
Checking on your phone means a front camera or a saved photo, held so the face is not tilted. The check is the shape estimate, not a manual ruler.
Mapping for shape stays on the outer points: forehead edges, cheeks, jaw corners, and chin. Inner details are not the shape.
Expect a closest shape, not a new identity and not a beauty score. You may also see how near the match was.
When you finish, you should be able to say which part of the face you used, not only the shape name. 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.
Common questions
How do I use “Your Face Shape Scan Explained”?
A scan explanation is short. Decide which area is widest before you say a shape name. The widest point is what starts the name.
How do I use “AI Face Shape Detection vs Manual Checking”?
Manual checking compares the same four lines in a mirror. Use one still photo. A chin that drops or lifts between shots will not agree with itself about the jaw.
How do I use “What to Expect From a Face Shape Detector”?
Expect a closest shape, not a new identity and not a beauty score. Hold the phone at eye level. A camera above your eyes makes the forehead look wider than it is.
