Typical ranges
Typical ranges we compare you with
From 101 adult faces rated by 2,513 people (Face Research Lab London Set). Where men and women differ, both ranges are shown; you choose which one applies.
| Measurement | Typical range | Centre | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eye spacing (rule of fifths) | 1.05–1.35 | 1.16 | Rule of fifths: inner-eye distance equals one eye width. |
| Face width in eye widths | 4.62–5.42 | 5.03 | Rule of fifths: face width about five eye widths (mesh outline points sit slightly wider). |
| Pupil distance to face width | 0.43–0.49 | 0.46 | Typical adult interpupillary distance relative to bizygomatic width. |
How it works
Three steps, about a minute
Step 1: Add a photo
Upload a front-facing photo or use your camera: good light, neutral face, lips closed.
Step 2: Get measured
Your browser places 478 points on your face and computes the measurement on the spot.
Step 3: Read your number
See your value next to the typical range, with the lines drawn on your photo.
What it measures
The rule of fifths
- Eye spacing
- The distance between the inner eye corners divided by the width of one eye. By the classic rule of fifths it is about 1; measured faces usually come out a little wider, around 1.06 to 1.35.
- Face width in eyes
- How many eye widths fit across your face. The rule says five; our face outline sits slightly outside the cheekbones, so typical values are about 4.6 to 5.4.
- Wide-set or close-set
- Above the typical range reads as wide-set, below it as close-set. Both are normal variations.
- Pupil distance to face width
- The third number compares the distance between the pupils with face width, the eye spacing ratio used on face-rating forums. Typical values run from about 0.43 to 0.49.
- Not the same as IPD
- Eyeglass pupil distance (IPD) is in millimetres and needs a reference object. These are ratios, so they do not depend on the size of your face in the photo.
Photo tips
Take a photo that measures well
- Face the light
- Stand facing a window or a lamp so both sides of your face are lit evenly. Light from one side or from above throws shadows that shift where the jaw, nose and eye corners appear, and a dark photo is rejected.
- Hold the camera at arm's length
- A phone held close to the face widens the nose and the middle of the face. Hold it at arm's length or prop it up a little further away, then crop if you need to. The ratios do not depend on how big your face is in the frame.
- Keep your head level
- Put the camera at eye level and look straight into the lens. A raised chin shortens the lower face and a lowered chin lengthens it. The test rejects photos with too much tilt or turn, so you will see a hint if this happens.
- Neutral face, lips closed
- Smiling lifts the cheeks and changes the mouth, eye and jaw measurements. Use a relaxed expression with your lips together and your eyes open as they normally are.
- Show the whole face
- Keep your full face in the frame from forehead to chin, push hair away from the jawline and take off glasses. Hats, hands and heavy filters hide the points the test needs.
- Compare two or three photos
- Every photo is a little different. Take a few in the same spot and look at the range they give you rather than trusting a single result.

How far to trust the numbers
Lighting, lens distance, head angle and expression all shift facial ratios. Take two or three photos and compare. The typical ranges and the 1–8 scale are set from 101 adult faces that 2,513 people rated for attractiveness (Face Research Lab London Set, DeBruine & Jones 2017, CC BY 4.0). On those faces the geometry score agrees with the ratings only in part, because proportions are only part of attractiveness.

FAQ
Questions people ask
- Are wide-set eyes attractive?
- Spacing near the typical range is most common among the rated faces. Slightly wide-set eyes are often seen as youthful; very small or large spacing simply reads as distinctive.
- Can this measure my IPD for glasses?
- No. Glasses need the distance in millimetres. Use an optician or a tool with a card for scale.
- Why do glasses change the result?
- Frames hide the eye corners. Take them off for the photo.
