A face rater that shows its measurements

FaceGrade is an independent project — one developer, no company behind it, no investor and no data business. It exists because the popular face-rating apps share a pattern people keep running into: you hand over a photo, create an account, wait for a server to get around to it, and receive a single number that you cannot check, argue with or learn anything from. FaceGrade inverts that. There is no account, nothing is uploaded, and the score arrives with the five measurements that produced it.

The main tool lives at AI Face Rater, and the same engine backs the symmetry, face shape and golden ratio pages. Everything is free, including the downloadable report card, which carries no watermark.

Photos are analysed by Google’s MediaPipe Face Landmarker, an open model that maps 478 facial landmarks. It runs in your browser as WebAssembly, so the image never leaves your device and the analysis works offline once the page has loaded. FaceGrade takes those coordinates, normalises for head tilt and scale, computes five proportions, scores each one from 0 to 100 and weights them into the headline 1–10. The full method is written out in how face score is calculated.

01Facial symmetry

Landmarks are mirrored across the face axis after the eye line is levelled, and the residual mismatch is scored.

02Vertical facial thirds

Trichion–glabella, glabella–subnasale and subnasale–menton heights are compared against even thirds.

03Golden ratio

Width-to-length and feature spacing are checked against the commonly cited φ ≈ 1.618 ideals.

04Canthal tilt

The angle of the line through the inner and outer corners of the eyes, relative to horizontal.

05Jaw and lower face

Jaw width against cheekbone width, plus chin projection, from the lower landmark ring.

These are geometric ratios measured against ideals that come from cosmetic-surgery and classical proportion literature, not from anything resembling a science of attractiveness. Real appeal includes expression, grooming, movement, voice and context — none of which a still photo can carry. Two people with near-identical landmark sets can score differently, and the same face photographed from a slightly turned angle will move. Treat the number as an entertainment-grade reading of facial proportion. If it lands somewhere you did not expect, that is information about a measurement, not a verdict on you.

The site never publishes your photo, never asks for one, and has no database to leak from. What it does collect is ordinary, anonymised usage analytics — Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity — and nothing that identifies you or your photo.

People curious about their facial proportions who do not want to make an account to find out; anyone comparing what different rating tools claim; and people working on grooming, glasses, haircut or beard decisions who want a rough read on symmetry and proportion rather than a flattering one. It is not for clinical use, and not a basis for anything that needs a real assessment.
