BeardStylesForMen is a browser-based face-shape and beard design tool. It uses MediaPipe facial landmarks to estimate oval, round, square, heart, long, or diamond proportions, recommends a matching beard style, and can generate a photorealistic preview on the user's own photo. Face detection happens locally, and users can compare alternative styles after the first recommendation.

Answers about face shape detection, privacy, and beard style recommendations.
Round faces look best with styles that add length below the chin — a Balbo, goatee, or anchor beard draws the eye downward. Avoid very wide full cheek beards.
The face shape detector runs entirely in your browser using MediaPipe. It maps 478 points on your face, measures the ratios between forehead, cheekbones, jawline, and chin, and classifies your face as oval, round, square, heart, long, or diamond with a confidence score.
Face shape detection and style guidance are free. Each photo gets one best face-shape match. Every photorealistic AI beard generation costs 10 credits, so additional credits let you remove the current facial hair and compare alternate beard styles. New Google accounts receive 10 trial credits. Starter includes 100 credits for $19.9, while Pro includes 700 credits for $49.9; downloads are included.
Face shape detection runs locally in your browser. When you request a photorealistic beard design, a cropped portrait and editing mask are sent securely through our Cloudflare endpoint to Kie.ai for GPT Image processing. Kie automatically deletes temporary uploads within 24 hours. This site does not save the photo in its own database. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Square faces have strong jawlines, so the goal is to soften corners. A full beard with rounded edges or a circle beard often balances the jaw better than a short, sharply boxed shape.
