FAQ
How does the Face Rater score my face?
It focuses on photo-first signals: clarity, lighting, angle, expression, and how balanced your facial features look in the image. It also flags distortion from wide-angle selfies and heavy filters.
Is this an objective attractiveness score?
No. It is a practical how you read in this photo score. Small changes to lighting, angle, and expression can change results a lot. Beauty is subjective—this tool helps you look your best in photos.
What photo should I upload for the best result?
Upload a clear front-facing photo with neutral expression or a natural smile, taken at eye level with soft front light (near a window). Avoid heavy filters and make sure your face is well-lit and in focus.
Can you help me improve my face rating?
Yes. The output includes a retake plan and quick improvements (lighting, angle, grooming, and photo setup) that usually improve how your face looks in pictures. Most users see improvement by following the lighting and angle tips.
Is my photo stored or shared?
No. Photos are processed in real-time for analysis and are not stored on our servers. We prioritize your privacy and security.
Why do I look different in photos than in the mirror?
This is extremely common! Mirrors show a flipped version of you that you're used to. Photos capture you as others see you. Additionally, camera lenses (especially wide-angle selfie cameras) can distort features. This tool helps you understand and minimize these effects.
