Want to adjust the points?
Your automatic result needs no edits. If a point looks misplaced, you can adjust it here. Only move the top point to your hairline when that hairline is clearly visible.
Tap the center of your visible hairline. Do not guess a hairline hidden by hair.

What is a diamond face shape?
A diamond face shape describes cheekbones that appear wider than both the forehead and jaw, with the outline narrowing toward the chin. A sharp jaw or high cheekbones alone does not decide the shape. Compare the full outline, not one feature.
Look for width through the cheekbone area with narrower areas above and below it. Cheekbone height and cheekbone width are different: high cheekbones describe vertical position, while this label is mainly about the outline. A narrow-looking forehead hidden by hair is not reliable evidence of diamond.
Check the outline, not just the chin
| Compare | Useful difference |
|---|---|
| Heart vs diamond | Heart keeps more upper-face width. Diamond has a clearer cheekbone-width emphasis. Both can have a tapered chin. |
| Heart vs triangle | Heart is broader above a narrow jaw. Triangle is broader at the jaw. Inverted triangle points the other way. |
| Diamond vs oval | Diamond has more obvious width contrast around the cheekbones. Oval is a more gently tapered outline. Some faces fit both descriptions. |
| Widow’s peak | This is a hairline feature, not a required landmark for either category on this site. |
A near tie is useful information. Compare the eight-shape chart rather than forcing one label. Our diagram is a simplified example, not an ideal face.
For a closer side-by-side explanation, read heart vs diamond face shape.
Get a useful photo before reading the result
- Face forward with your head level and a relaxed expression.
- Move hair away from the forehead and cheeks. Avoid a hat, beauty filter or very close selfie.
- Choose even light and one visible face. If a beard hides the jaw, treat that part of the estimate cautiously.
- Read the visible measurement lines and result notes. If the points look wrong, use the optional correction controls or another photo.
The first run downloads a model and may take longer. An unclear, heavily turned or very small face may be rejected. A rejection is more useful than inventing a confident result. See the photo preparation guide for examples.
Understand your result
The photo comparison uses the same custom method 4.1 as our latest Detector implementation. A landmark model locates features; our code converts their coordinates to pixel distances, estimates the upper face boundary and jaw contour, then compares eight profiles.
The scores are profile matches, not confidence percentages. They do not add up to 100. They are not beauty ratings, population percentiles or medical results. No clinical validation or accuracy rate is claimed.
Length, relative widths and estimated jaw outline contribute to the score. With all three available, the formula is 100 × lengthFit^0.42 × widthFit^0.38 × jawFit^0.20. Each fit is floored at 0.01 before weighting. If you explicitly leave the jaw unknown, the length and width exponents become 0.525 and 0.475.
The highest score below 55 produces “No clear shape match”; a gap under 8 between the two leading scores shows a close pair. These are our presentation rules, not scientific boundaries. The full ranking remains visible.
What makes the diamond profile score higher?
The diamond profile rewards forehead and jaw widths below cheekbone width, a tapered lower outline and a compatible length. It does not measure cheekbone height or prove that a face is rare. The boundaries are custom, overlapping preferences.
Automatic face length uses a forehead-based estimate extended toward the upper boundary, not a true detected hairline. The result is a flat-photo estimate, not a 3D head measurement. Photo angle, expression and hidden features can change it.
Choose a look that feels like you
Start with the effect you like. You can show your cheekbones and forehead, soften the outline with movement, or keep the haircut very simple. Your hair texture, density, growth direction and daily routine decide whether a suggestion is practical.
| Choice | Try this if it matches your preference | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Hair | A side sweep or fringe changes how the upper outline is framed; length near the jaw can add visible fullness. | Cowlicks, shrinkage, heat styling and trim frequency. |
| Glasses | Compare a curved rim with an angular rim in a mirror. One contrasts with facial lines; the other repeats them. | Bridge stability, frame width, cheek clearance and comfort. |
| Facial hair | Fullness near jaw corners changes the lower outline. A longer pointed chin beard adds apparent length. | Your own growth pattern; a beard is optional, not a requirement. |
For specific cuts, open the diamond hairstyle guide or diamond hairstyles for men. For frames, use the glasses fit guide. A face-shape estimate cannot measure whether a bridge fits.
Photo processing and privacy
Your selected photo is processed in this browser by this widget; it is not sent to an image-analysis server by the supplied code. The result-card download contains the comparison, not your photo.
Photo analysis downloads Google’s MediaPipe model and software. The library sends usage/performance information to Google, as explained in its web vision privacy notice. Website analytics are separate. Local photo processing does not mean zero external requests.
Clear removes the active photo/result and stops the camera in this widget. It cannot delete a file you already downloaded or recall metrics already sent. Read the site privacy policy before choosing a photo.
Common questions
Can this page return a different face shape?
Yes. The same comparison checks all eight profiles. Opening a heart or diamond page does not make that label more likely.
Why do two photos give different results?
Angle, camera distance, expression and covered features can change the measured outline. Retake one clear photo and inspect the lines. A score is not a certainty percentage.
Does a widow’s peak decide my shape?
No. We use the outline rather than requiring one hairline pattern. Other guides may define the labels differently.
Is diamond the rarest or most attractive face?
This tool cannot establish population rarity or attractiveness. Its labels describe an approximate outline for styling.
Do I have to mark points myself?
No. The normal photo flow finds points and displays a comparison automatically. Point correction is an optional fallback if the visible measurements look wrong.
Why is the tool slow on the first photo?
The model must download and run on your device. Network speed, memory and browser support matter. An unsupported browser or failed download should show an error rather than a made-up result.
