Triangle versus square and round
Reference points the detector compares your photo with. Your own numbers will differ; the closest reference becomes the label.
| Shape | Visible pattern | Length ÷ cheek width | Upper ÷ cheek width | Jaw ÷ cheek width | Jaw turn |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Triangle | Jaw widest; upper outline narrower | 1.32 | 0.82 | 1.04 | 132° |
| Square | Similar upper, cheek and jaw widths; distinct jaw corner | 1.22 | 0.98 | 0.96 | 128° |
| Round | Width close to length; soft, open jaw curve | 1.18 | 0.94 | 0.84 | 158° |
Triangle and square both show clear jaw corners; in square the upper outline stays about as wide as the jaw. Round is the next comparison when the jaw is soft. If the tool shows triangle with an alternate, compare the upper width in both guides.
What a photo cannot establish
A beard, jaw tension or a slight head turn can widen the visible jaw. Hair tucked tightly behind the ears narrows the upper outline the tool measures. Check the result with a relaxed jaw and hair loosely pulled back. A single photo cannot establish a fixed face shape or guarantee a styling outcome. This is not a medical assessment.
