Eye type

An eye type result here separates three visible traits in a front photo: the direction of the corner line, how open the lids appear, and spacing between the eyes. Upload an image to see each measurement and its label beside the drawn lines. The calculation runs in your browser. It describes geometry of the photographed opening without ranking one look above another.

Three dimensions of visible eye shape

People use eye-shape names such as almond, round, upturned and downturned in different ways. Some labels describe the outline of the opening, while others describe a fold or how much lid is visible. This page separates the measurable opening from features a landmark model cannot reliably see. A person can have more than one descriptive trait at once.

How eye type labels use opening, tilt and spacing

The detector combines three measured dimensions: mean eye-corner tilt, average opening height divided by eye width, and inner-corner spacing divided by average eye width. It then labels tilt, round-versus-almond opening and close-versus-wide spacing with hand-set cutoffs. The labels are separate: a person can have an upturned eye opening and ordinary spacing in the same photo.

Reading labels near a cutoff

Look at the measurements before the category. Two eyes can have different openings and angles, and the tool may summarize them with one label. A neutral result near a threshold can change with a new photo. If the lines miss a lid edge, retake. The category is a description of visible geometry, not a fixed identity or an attractiveness tier.

For a hypothetical eye type result, an average corner tilt of 4.1° crosses the software’s upturned boundary, while 3.9° falls into its neutral band. That tiny difference may be less meaningful than the precision of the detected corners. Opening ratio and eye spacing are classified independently, so a change in one need not alter the other two. Look at the measured values before treating any eye type label as a permanent trait.

A round-versus-almond eye type boundary concerns lid opening relative to eye width, not the curve of a makeup line. In a hypothetical pair of photos, one relaxed eye with opening ratio 0.35 would be called almond and a wider opening at 0.37 would be called round. The change is close to a hand-set threshold and could be caused by a blink phase. A useful eye type comparison checks the raw opening, tilt and spacing rows separately; no single label captures an eyelid crease or a person’s expression across time.

Blinking and lid boundaries

Blinking or squinting changes eye opening much more than it changes corner position. A smiling pose can narrow the lids, and glasses can obscure the exact upper or lower boundary. For this eye type reading, keep eyes relaxed and fully visible. If one eye is partly closed, the averaged opening can hide that problem behind a tidy label. For clear eyelid edges in the image, read how to take a photo for a PSL rating.

An eyelid crease is outside this classifier

The landmark model traces the open eye outline, not the skin crease above it. It cannot reliably identify hooding, a monolid, depth, ancestry or an eyelid condition. Those features matter to how an eye looks but are outside this eye type classifier. If you are trying frames or makeup, inspect the image in a mirror as well as reading the numeric labels.

The thresholds illustrated above are the same for men and women; they are software categories rather than sex-specific reference ranges. Liner, lashes or frames may change the apparent contour and the tool’s landmark placement. A lighter application or unobstructed photo can show whether an eye type shift came from detection rather than a change in anatomy. The page cannot choose a best style for anyone.

Separate a corner angle from a brow guide

For the raw corner angle, open canthal tilt. The eyebrow map instead asks how brow points sit relative to nose and eye guide rays. Those views can explain a particular eye type label while keeping the eye opening, tilt and brow outline distinct.

Eye type FAQ

What eye shape do I have?

The page describes the visible opening and angle in this photo; some people fit more than one label.

What type of eyes are hooded eyes?

Hooded describes lid tissue covering part of the crease, which this landmark tool cannot confirm.

Can makeup change the result?

Yes. Heavy liner or lashes can change the visible border and point placement.

Are both eyes always the same type?

No. Small left-right differences are common, and one summary label may hide them.

Does smiling affect eye type?

Yes. It can narrow the opening and lift the outer corners.

Does the photo leave my device?

No. The eye measurements run locally in your browser.
