What is a good face symmetry score?

On this facial symmetry test most clear, straight-on photos score between about 80% and 95%. Above 92% is highly symmetrical. Anything in the 75–85% range is completely typical. A lower score usually says more about the photo (angle, lighting, expression) than about your face.

Is anyone 100% symmetrical?

No. Every human face has small differences between the left and right side, in eye height, brow shape, nose direction, smile and jaw. Perfect mirror symmetry looks slightly artificial, which is why mirrored "perfectly symmetrical" photos often look strange.

How symmetrical is my face compared with other people?

We do not store anyone's results, so we cannot rank you against other users. What we can say is that a score between 80% and 95% on this test is typical for a good photo, and that small asymmetries are universal.

Why do I get a different symmetry score on each photo?

Tiny changes in head angle, camera distance, light direction and expression shift landmark positions by a few pixels, which changes the score by a few points. For a fair comparison, take photos in the same place and light, looking straight at the camera with a neutral face.

Does facial symmetry matter for attractiveness?

Studies have found that people tend to slightly prefer more symmetrical faces on average, but the effect is modest and many other factors matter more, including skin, expression, grooming and familiarity. Symmetry is one small ingredient, not a verdict on your looks.

Can I make my face more symmetrical?

You can make it look more balanced. Shaping your eyebrows to match, a hairstyle with a centre or deliberate side part, makeup or beard shaping, good posture and chewing on both sides all help. Large structural differences are a question for a dentist, orthodontist or doctor.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The symmetry test runs entirely in your browser. Your photo is never sent to a server or stored, and it is gone when you close the page.

When should facial asymmetry be checked by a doctor?

If one side of your face suddenly droops, feels numb or will not move, call emergency services immediately, as this can be a sign of a stroke or Bell's palsy. Gradual new swelling or asymmetry should also be checked by a doctor. This tool cannot detect medical conditions.

How the face symmetry test works

Many facial symmetry tests simply mirror one half of your photo. That shows you something fun, but it does not measure anything. This test measures. An AI face-mesh model running in your browser places 478 landmarks on your face. Most of them come in matched pairs, like the outer corner of your left eye and the outer corner of your right eye. Then the test:

Straightens your face, correcting for small head tilts and turns so the camera angle does not count against you.
Finds your personal mirror line. Instead of assuming the middle of your nose is the centre, it searches for the line that best splits your whole face into two matching halves.
Mirrors every left-side landmark across that line and measures how far it lands from its right-side twin. Distances are divided by your face width, so results are the same whether your face fills the photo or not.
Averages the differences per region (eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and jaw) and turns them into a percentage, plus an overall figure.

On your photo you will see the fitted mirror line and every paired point. White and light purple points match their twin closely; pink points show where the two sides differ most.

What your symmetry score means

92–100%Highly symmetrical. Your two sides line up very closely.

85–91%Very symmetrical. Only small differences, typical of many faces.

75–84%Typical, natural symmetry. Normal variation between sides.

Below 75%Noticeable asymmetry, or a photo taken at an angle. Very common, and often part of a memorable face.

Most straight-on, well-lit photos land between roughly 80% and 95%. Use the per-feature breakdown to see where your differences are: it is usually more interesting than the overall number.

Perfect symmetry is rare, and that is normal

Nobody has a perfectly symmetrical face. One eye often sits a little higher, one brow arches more, the nose may lean slightly, and the smile usually lifts more on one side. These differences come from genetics, growth, the side you sleep or chew on, dental alignment, past injuries and simply how muscles are used day to day. If you have ever disliked a selfie that looked "wrong", part of the reason is that you are used to your mirror image, which flips these small asymmetries.

Research suggests people slightly prefer more symmetrical faces on average, but the effect is modest. Expression, skin, grooming and personality shape how a face is perceived far more than a few millimetres of difference.

Your features, one by one

Eyes

Differences in eye height or eyelid shape are among the most common asymmetries. Tiredness and lighting can exaggerate them in photos.

Eyebrows

Brows are the easiest feature to balance. Grooming or filling them to match in height and arch can visibly lift a lower score.

Nose

A slight lean or one wider nostril is very normal. Shadows from side lighting can also make the nose look off-centre.

Mouth and lips

Most smiles are lopsided, which is why we ask for a relaxed, closed-mouth photo. Even then, one mouth corner often sits a little higher.

Jaw and chin

Jaw differences can come from chewing habits, dental alignment or muscle development, and are easily hidden or exaggerated by head turns.

Why your score changes from photo to photo

If you run the test twice you will rarely get exactly the same number, and that is expected. Landmarks are placed on pixels, so anything that moves features by a pixel or two shifts the score by a point or two. The usual causes are:

Head angle. We correct small turns, but a face turned more than a few degrees hides part of one side.
Lighting. A shadow on one cheek or under one eye can make the AI place points slightly differently on each side.
Expression. Even a half-smile or raised brow is rarely symmetrical.
Lens distortion. Wide-angle selfie cameras held close bend the edges of the face.

For the fairest comparison, for example to track brow grooming or a new hairstyle, take your photos in the same spot, in the same light, at the same distance.

Mirrored selfies vs. a real symmetry test

Apps that build a face from two copies of your left side (and two of your right) are fun, and they show how different your halves can look. But they always produce a perfectly symmetrical face, so they cannot tell you how symmetrical you actually are. This test measures the real differences between your two sides, feature by feature, without changing your photo.

How to take a photo for an accurate result

Look directly into the lens with the camera at eye level, not from above or below.
Use even, soft light from the front. Light from one side creates shadows that read as asymmetry.
Keep a neutral face with lips gently closed, and pull hair away from your face.
Stand back a little: arm's length or further avoids wide-angle distortion.
Take two or three photos and compare. Your most consistent score is your best estimate.
