What this tool does
Your face is the first thing people notice—in photos, on video calls, and in person. This Face Rater analyzes your photo using AI trained on photography and facial aesthetics principles. Get specific, actionable feedback on how to look better in pictures, not vague compliments or harsh judgments.
Face is clearly visible and well-lit (no heavy shadows hiding features).
Photo is sharp and in focus (not blurry or pixelated).
Expression is natural and approachable (not forced or awkward).
Angle is flattering (eye-level or slightly above, not extreme).
Lighting is even and soft (no harsh shadows or overexposure).
No heavy filters or beauty effects that distort your real appearance.
Background doesn't distract from your face.
Photo represents how you actually look (not outdated or heavily edited).
How to use (get better results)
Follow these steps to increase feedback accuracy.
Upload a clear, recent photo of your face (selfie or portrait).
Use a photo taken in good lighting—natural daylight works best.
Make sure your face takes up most of the frame (not a tiny distant shot).
Avoid heavy filters, beauty mode, or extreme editing.
Try uploading 2-3 different photos to compare feedback.
Read the specific suggestions—lighting and angle tips are easiest to implement.
Retake your photo using the recommendations and upload again to see improvement.
