Do you look alike? Compare two faces
Upload two photos — you and a parent, sibling, or friend, or switch to Couple mode for a couple face match — and get a measured geometric similarity read between the two faces. It measures facial-structure overlap between the two photos; it does not test relationships, relatedness, or compatibility.
Person A
(you, for example)
Person B
(parent, sibling, or friend)
Frontal, well-lit photos only — chin level, facing the camera. Your photo is processed and deleted right away. Nothing is kept unless you choose to save it. Both photos and their measurements stay in this browser tab and disappear when you leave.
Do couples really look alike?
Slightly, on average — studies of long-term couples find a small facial-similarity effect, usually attributed to assortative pairing and perceived convergence over years together. It is a weak statistical tendency across many couples, not a rule for any one pair, and photos can exaggerate it (matched lighting and expressions) or hide it (different angles and lenses).
That is exactly what the couple mode above measures and nothing more: the geometric overlap between two specific photos. A high score does not mean you are compatible, and a low score says nothing about your relationship. Toggle the tool to Couple mode, or open it directly at couple face match.
What a facial archetype actually is
An archetype is a stable pattern across the 17 structural metrics. Two people with very different individual features can still match the same archetype because the underlying ratios cluster. Strong cheekbone projection, a 5 degree positive canthal tilt, and a low FWHR around 1.7 land in one cluster; a deep-set brow, low gonial angle, and high FWHR land in another. The archetype is the cluster, not the face.
This matters because the most useful thing a look-alike tool can do is not guess a celebrity name. It is to tell you which structural traits are doing the heavy lifting in your face so you can stop trying to fix the ones that are already strong. Most users discover they have one elite metric, one weak metric, and fifteen unremarkable ones. The elite metric is the lever.
We do not surface celebrity photos because the legal ground around using a real person's likeness as a comparison anchor is genuinely contested in most jurisdictions. Right-of-publicity statutes vary by state and country. We label your archetype with descriptors (initials, descriptors, or score pattern only) and let you decide whether to search the label yourself. The score pattern is the real signal.
The 4 archetype clusters most faces map to
The Hunter
Positive canthal tilt (5 degrees or more), strong jawline (130 to 140 degree gonial angle), low FWHR around 1.8. Reads as alert and confident in first-impression studies. Common in classical male leading-actor archetypes.
The Soft Symmetric
High symmetry score (under 4 percent landmark deviation), medium FWHR, neutral canthal tilt, balanced facial thirds. Reads as approachable and trustworthy. Common in editorial and commercial casting.
The Striking Asymmetric
One or two metrics in the 90th percentile (cheekbone projection, philtrum length, or eye spacing), several metrics in the 40 to 60 range. Reads as distinctive. Common in art-house and character casting.
The Cherubic
Round face shape (FWHR under 1.7), full cheeks, neutral or negative canthal tilt, short philtrum. Reads as youthful and warm. Common in romance and family-comedy casting.
Cluster definitions are descriptive, not prescriptive. The scan itself names one archetype label for your face, picked from which metrics and metric groups score highest (eye-led, jaw-led, symmetry-led and so on); its labels are its own, not these four clusters. The $14.99 report shows a 0-100 score for every metric your photo supports, so you can see which traits are pulling your archetype in which direction.
Why score-only beats a celebrity name
A celebrity name without metrics gives you a feeling and zero actionable information. A score pattern without a celebrity name gives you the exact opposite: the scores, the deviations, and the metrics that define the archetype. You can act on the metrics. You cannot act on a celebrity name.
Most men over 30 score below 50 on jawline due to fat-pad migration rather than bone change. Most women over 35 score below 50 on midface fullness due to deep medial fat-pad volume loss. Knowing which metric the archetype hinges on tells you which of these soft-tissue levers will move your composite score the most. A celebrity comparison alone does not.
How the archetype mapping works
Step one: facial landmark detection. A TensorFlow.js model derived from the iBUG 300-W 68-point landmark spec locates 68 points on your face. The corners of your eyes, the tip of your nose, the philtrum borders, the nostril wings, the lip outline, the jawline curve from gonion to gonion, and the upper and lower forehead.
Step two: metric extraction. The 68 points feed 17 ratio calculations. Examples include canthal tilt (angle between the medial and lateral canthus), FWHR (cheekbone-to-cheekbone width divided by upper-lip-to-eyebrow height), facial thirds balance (the middle third, brow line to nose base, against the lower third, nose base to chin), and jaw taper (jaw width divided by cheekbone width). Each ratio is compared with a reference range from published anthropometry.
Step three: scoring. Each metric gets a 0 to 100 score for how close it sits to its reference range, scaled so 50 is the median of the first scans of about 2,100 RealSmile users. Step four: archetype classification. The archetype label comes from which metrics and metric groups score highest: strong canthal tilt and hunter-eye readings together give an eye-led archetype, strong jaw readings a jaw-led one, high symmetry a symmetry-led one.
The output is descriptive. Your archetype is not a verdict. It is the cluster of metrics your face happens to fall into, and the report tells you which specific metrics are driving the classification so you can act on them.
