Bizygomatic width
The visible cheekbone-to-cheekbone width at its widest measured point.
Facial Width-to-Height Ratio (fWHR) Calculator
fWHR is bizygomatic width divided by upper-face height. Upload a photo and this calculator measures both, prints them, and shows where the result sits relative to published adult ranges.

Upload a front-facing photo — cheekbone width and brow-to-lip height are measured locally and reported next to the ratio.

- 1Use your own photo, or one you have permission to use.
- 2One adult face only. No minors or age estimation.

A typical first run loads about 15 MB of model/runtime files, then the browser caches them. Nothing is submitted to our analysis API.

We could not analyze this photo
Your photo and landmarks stay in page memory and are cleared when you reset or leave. Face-shape tools keep a small result summary in this tab for up to 30 minutes so you can continue to hairstyles or glasses. Clear the result to remove it.
Evidence behind this result
The output is built from inspectable photo geometry and a separate image-quality signal.
Upper-face height
The vertical distance from the brow line down to the top of the upper lip.
Range context
The value is compared with the selected 1.7–2.1 guide range used by this calculator; it is not a population norm.
How this tool works
1. Detect
A local model places the cheek, brow and lip landmarks.
2. Align
The height is taken in an eye-line-aligned frame to reduce roll sensitivity.
3. Divide
Width divided by height produces the scale-independent fWHR.
What the result cannot tell you
01
Research linking fWHR to behaviour or personality is contested and has failed to replicate consistently; treat it as a measurement, not a prediction.
02
Soft-tissue landmarks in a photo are not the skeletal points used in the original studies.
03
Weight, age, expression and camera perspective all move the visible ratio.
About this tool
How local processing works →What is fWHR?+
Facial width-to-height ratio: the width of the face across the cheekbones divided by the height from the brow line to the upper lip. It is a proportion measurement, usually falling between about 1.7 and 2.1 in adults.
Does a higher fWHR mean anything about personality?+
No conclusion you should rely on. The studies that popularised that idea have been widely challenged and have not replicated reliably. This page reports the geometry only.
Why does my fWHR change between photos?+
Smiling widens the visible cheek line, and camera distance changes vertical compression. Use a neutral expression and consistent framing when comparing values.
