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 triangle face shape?
A triangle face shape describes an outline that looks wider around the jaw than the upper face. It is sometimes called a pear-shaped face. An inverted triangle is the opposite: broader above and narrower near the chin.
Look at the whole outline. A square-looking jaw alone does not make a face triangular. Hair, beard coverage, camera angle and the place where width is measured can change the comparison. A close result is a reason to compare two descriptions, not to keep uploading until you receive a preferred label.
Triangle, inverted triangle or square?
| Label | Main outline clue | Easy source of confusion |
|---|---|---|
| Triangle / pear | More width toward the jaw than the temples. | A beard can add apparent lower-face width. |
| Inverted triangle / heart family | Upper face wider than the lower outline. | The word triangle is sometimes used for both directions. |
| Square | Upper, middle and lower widths look relatively similar, with a more angular lower outline. | A broad jaw can occur in both square and triangle descriptions. |
| Round | A softly curved outline with less visible length than an elongated shape. | Soft cheeks do not by themselves establish round. |
Use the face shape chart to compare the overall pattern. This tool groups upper-wide, tapered outlines with heart; it does not require a widow’s peak. The heart guide explains that convention.
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.
How the automatic comparison works
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 raises a triangle profile match?
The custom triangle profile favors a relatively narrower upper width and a broader lower outline. Length and jaw-shape cues also contribute. The boundaries overlap with other profiles; no single measurement proves a category.
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.
Styling ideas without rigid rules
Choose whether you want to show the jawline or change the balance of the outline. Both are valid. Some movement or fullness at the temples can draw attention upward; a very close upper-side cut exposes more of the lower outline. Neither effect is automatically better.
| Choice | Possible direction | Check before committing |
|---|---|---|
| Hair | A movable fringe, side part or textured top can change upper-face framing. | Texture, density and whether the front naturally stays where you want it. |
| Facial hair | A shorter lower outline shows a different shape from a full beard. | Actual growth pattern and the shape you enjoy; do not trim from an app label alone. |
| Glasses | Compare rims that emphasize the upper edge with more even outlines. | Bridge fit, overall width, cheek clearance and comfort matter first. |
For clear barber requests, use triangle hairstyles for men. Compare frames using the glasses guide. These are styling suggestions, not predictions of how attractive you will look.
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.
Triangle face shape questions
Is triangle the same as inverted triangle?
No. In this guide triangle is jaw-wide; inverted triangle is upper-wide. Look at the stated definition before comparing results from different websites.
Will the tool always tell me I am triangle?
No. It compares all eight profiles using the same scoring rules as the main detector. This page does not boost the triangle score.
Do I need to enter measurements?
No. The normal flow estimates landmarks automatically. Optional point correction is available if the drawn lines do not match your visible outline.
Can a beard change the result?
It can obscure the jaw and make the visible lower outline wider. Read the displayed measurements cautiously when your jaw is covered.
Is the score an accuracy percentage?
No. It is a custom profile-match score, not a probability, beauty rating or independently validated accuracy claim.
What if my result is close to square?
Compare the upper width with the jaw width in a clear front-facing image. Real outlines overlap; you can use styling ideas from both guides.
