Face Analysis FAQ

Use one clear, front-facing photo with only your face in view. Keep the camera around eye level, move hair away from the sides and relax your expression. Avoid strong backlighting, very close wide-angle selfies and face-reshaping filters. JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 5 MB are supported. You only need one photo to start, and no account is required.

Read the photo-quality message first. For a missing face, try a clear original with the whole face visible. For multiple faces, crop to one person. For pose, face the camera without turning. For blur or exposure, take another photo in even light. Keep the chin and sides of the face inside the image. Expression warnings alone do not reject a photo. Passing these checks means the picture can be measured; it does not add points to your score.

They can change the measurements or hide landmarks. If glasses cover the eye corners or reflect light, try a photo without them. A broad smile changes eye opening, mouth corners and lip shape, so a relaxed expression is easier to compare. Filters that narrow the jaw or enlarge the eyes change the geometry being scored. The system cannot reliably detect every edited photo; use an unedited original when you want a reference for your own features.

The first run downloads the landmark model and supporting files. Keep the tab open and use a stable connection. If it fails, check the connection, try a smaller supported image and use a current browser. Some devices or browsers cannot initialise the model. A model-loading error says nothing about your face, and changing photos will not necessarily fix a download problem. You do not need to install a separate app.

The landmark model estimates 478 facial points. AuraFace uses 17 geometric rules to describe face proportions, visible symmetry, eyes, nose, mouth and lower face. The model locates points; the rules calculate the score. The face-shape label is a separate estimate and does not enter the composite score. Skin texture, personality, health and the full 3D shape of your face are not assessed.

The system measures proportions as they appear in a photo. Camera distance, lens, head turn, expression and landmark errors can change them. To check the result, use the same camera, a similar distance and even light, with a relaxed expression. Compare the dimensions and measurements as well as the total. The current tool analyses one photo at a time; it does not combine several photos into a stability-checked score.

The total combines internal rule values with different dimension weights, then maps that result to the 10-point display scale. The six dimensions also have their own display mappings and rounding. Averaging the displayed numbers skips those steps. You can follow a measurement example and a weighted example on the method page. If too few rules have usable measurements, a report may omit the total instead of estimating it.

No. The number is a reference under the product’s configured geometric rules. Its display scale uses synthetic geometry samples, not a representative survey of human attractiveness ratings. It cannot establish a real-world percentile or predict how other people will see you. Start with the photo feedback, then inspect the measurements behind a dimension that interests you.

Different tools use different landmarks, cutoffs and categories. AuraFace currently estimates oval, round, square, heart or oblong from three ratios. It checks the categories in a fixed order, and oval is the remaining category for usable measurements. The guide also describes diamond for styling, but the automatic report does not output it separately. Record features such as a wider cheek area and a narrow jaw rather than treating a label as a final answer.

Use them to choose a small styling experiment, such as moving a parting, showing more forehead or keeping width at the sides. There is no promised score increase or guaranteed haircut result. Hair texture, density, natural growth direction and daily upkeep matter. Take a reference photo and a specific goal to a stylist. The illustrations are general sketches, not a virtual try-on of the named haircut.

Your photo stays in your browser and is never sent to AuraFace servers. Measurements run locally. Your report stays in this browser session, and you can download a copy to your device. The browser still downloads the website and model files, so local processing does not mean there are no network requests.

The report is kept in the current browser tab’s session, not in an account history. Do not rely on it being available after closing the tab, clearing browser data or changing devices. Use Save report on the result page to download a JSON file containing the report data. JSON is a data file, not a PDF, and the download does not create a permanent online report link.
