Beard Styles and Face Shape FAQ

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.

The detector supports six face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, long, and diamond. It shows the leading result, confidence, and the runner-up shape when the result is close.

You can upload a photo and run the face-shape analysis before signing in. A Google sign-in is required before AI generation so we can protect your credits and keep your account session secure.

Use a front-facing photo in even light with your whole face visible and hair pulled away from the forehead. Avoid strong angles, heavy shadows, and facial expressions that change the jawline.

Yes. Face detection and camera capture run in modern mobile and desktop browsers. Camera access requires HTTPS or localhost plus browser permission. Generating the final image requires a network connection.

The result is a styling estimate based on facial landmark ratios, not a medical measurement. Camera angle, lighting, hair, and expression can affect the outcome, so use the confidence and runner-up result as guidance.

An oval face can wear most beard styles because its proportions are naturally balanced. Stubble keeps the look clean, a Van Dyke sharpens the mouth and chin, and a short boxed beard adds a defined jaw outline without unnecessary width.

Long faces usually benefit from width across the cheeks and jaw. Stubble, a full beard, or a Garibaldi can add horizontal balance, while a long narrow goatee may make the face look even longer.

A goatee, anchor beard, or full beard can add weight to the narrower chin and jaw of a heart-shaped face. Keep cheek growth controlled so the upper face does not become more dominant.

A full beard, short boxed beard, or Balbo can add width around the jaw and balance a diamond face. Avoid concentrating extra volume directly over the widest part of the cheekbones.

Yes. The generation prompt first removes existing beard, moustache, stubble, and beard shadow from the editing area, then applies the beard style selected for your face shape.

Yes. After the first face-shape-matched design, you can select another style from the nine-style library and generate it from the original photo. Each additional generation uses 10 credits.

The library contains nine styles: Balbo, Classic Goatee, Anchor, Full Beard, Circle Beard, Garibaldi, Stubble, Van Dyke, and Short Boxed Beard.

No. Face shape narrows the most balanced starting points, but growth pattern, density, hair direction, maintenance preference, and personal style also affect the decision.
