Upload one front photo. The AI estimates your facial width-to-height ratio (cheekbone width divided by the height from your brows to your upper lip) and shows what is driving it.
Use a straight-on front photo, head level, neutral face. Photo discarded immediately after scoring. No signup.
The ratio is one number. These four reads explain it.
How wide and prominent your cheekbones read. Cheekbone width is the top half of the ratio.
How short the distance is from your brows to your upper lip. A more compact midface raises the ratio.
How wide your jaw is compared with your cheekbones. A jaw close to cheekbone width makes a face read wider overall.
How defined your brow ridge is. A strong brow frames the upper face and sets the top of the height measurement.
Where your ratio lands, and what each range means.
Your face reads longer than it is wide in the middle third.
Your width and height are in the typical range.
Your face reads wide and compact through the middle third, the look looksmaxxers usually aim for.
Straight on, head level, neutral expression, whole face visible. Tilting the head changes the ratio.
Cheekbone to cheekbone for the width, and brow line to upper lip for the height. The ratio is width divided by height.
You get your ratio, a low, average or high read, four supporting scores, and the change that most affects how wide your face reads.
fWHR, or facial width-to-height ratio, is the width of your face at the cheekbones divided by the height of your upper face, measured from the brow line to the top of the upper lip. In looksmaxxing, a higher fWHR is usually treated as more masculine and compact.
Some studies have found that faces with a higher fWHR are rated as more dominant by observers. Average values differ between studies and measuring methods, so treat any cut-off as a rough guide rather than a rule. Most adult faces land roughly between 1.7 and 2.1.
A photo-based fWHR is an estimate. Lens distance, head tilt and expression all move it, so compare results taken the same way and look at the trend.
You can't change bone width, but you can change how it reads.
Lower body fat shows the full width of your cheekbones and sharpens the jaw, so the face reads wider and more compact.
Lots of height on top stretches the face vertically. Moderate height with some side volume keeps it reading compact.
A short, even beard can widen the lower face and make a narrow jaw read closer to cheekbone width.
Shoot at eye level from arm's length or further. Close, low or tilted angles distort the ratio.
fWHR is one measurement, not a verdict. A few things worth knowing:
fWHR, facial width-to-height ratio, is the width of the face at the cheekbones divided by the height of the upper face, measured from the brow line to the top of the upper lip.
Upload a straight-on front photo and the calculator estimates both distances from facial landmarks and divides width by height. To do it by hand, measure cheekbone to cheekbone and brow line to upper lip on a straight photo, then divide the first by the second.
In looksmaxxing, around 1.9 to 2.0 or higher is usually called a high fWHR. Averages differ between studies and measuring methods, and most adult faces land roughly between 1.7 and 2.1.
Yes. It is free, needs no signup, and your photo is discarded right after scoring.
It is an estimate. Head tilt, expression and lens distance all change the measurement, so use a straight-on photo at eye level and compare results taken the same way.
Not the bone ratio itself. You can change how wide your face reads: getting leaner shows the cheekbones, and haircut and facial hair choices change the face's visual proportions.
It is one factor among many. Some studies link higher fWHR with faces seen as more dominant, but skin, hair, leanness, grooming and overall harmony matter at least as much.
fWHR compares face width to upper face height. The midface ratio compares the distance between the pupils with the distance from the pupils to the mouth. Both describe how compact the middle of the face is, measured in different ways.
