68-Point Landmark Map

A 68-point landmark map is an AI tool that plots the standard facial-coordinate set — jaw, eyebrows, nose, eyes, and lips — directly onto your photo, then shows you those points instead of handing back a finished verdict.

Every face-shape label, symmetry score, and proportion reading anywhere on this site starts from the same 68 dots. This page lets you see them before any of that math runs, on your own face, with nothing summarized or hidden.

2 Your Landmark Map

Your photo will appear on the left with all 68 points drawn on it, and the region controls will show up here.

What the 68 Points Cover

Four regions split the full set between them: 27 points across your jaw and eyebrows, 12 around your eyes, 9 down your nose, and 20 tracing your lips. Sixty-eight in total, and nothing outside those regions gets touched.

Jaw & Eyebrows — 27 Points

Seventeen run from one temple to the other, tracing the jawline; the remaining ten split five to a brow, marking each brow's centre line rather than its edge.

Eyes — 12 Points

Six per eye, spaced around the socket to form a closed outline — enough to read the shape of the eye itself, not eyelid depth or lash placement.

Nose — 9 Points

Four run down the bridge, five span the base, together placing the tip and the width of each nostril without capturing the nose's profile.

Lips — 20 Points

Twelve trace the outer edge of the mouth, eight sit just inside it, giving the lips both an outer and an inner boundary.

Take the symmetry score as a working example of what this coordinate set makes possible. A single number would flatten a lot of real variation, so the face symmetry test turns these same 68 points into seven separate readings instead of one verdict — your eyebrows can line up almost exactly while your ears sit noticeably off, and a blended score would erase that difference entirely.

The method behind it is mirroring. Matched pairs — the outer corner of each eye, the outer edge of each eyebrow, each corner of the mouth — get reflected across the vertical line running down the centre of your nose. On a perfectly symmetrical face, the reflected point would land exactly on its real counterpart; the gap between where it lands and where the real point sits becomes that pair's asymmetry figure.

That gap then gets divided by the overall width of your face before it turns into a score. Skip that step and a large, high-resolution photo would simply produce bigger pixel gaps than a small one and read as less symmetrical — even though nothing about the face in it had changed.

How the 68 Points Are Numbered

The numbering is fixed and identical across every face processed, which is the only reason point 33 on your nose can be compared to point 33 on someone else's.

0–16

Jawline

Seventeen points running from the left temple around to the right. Point 8 marks the bottom of the chin.

17–26

Eyebrows

Ten points, five per brow, numbered starting from the right side of your face — each brow's centre line, not its outline.

27–35

Nose

Nine points: 27 through 30 run down the bridge, 31 through 35 span the base, and point 33 marks the tip.

36–67

Eyes & Lips

Thirty-two points: 36 through 47 outline the eyes, 48 through 59 trace the outer lip, and 60 through 67 trace the inner lip.

Switch the point numbers on in the tool above and check any of these ranges against your own photo directly — there's no faster way to see what the model is doing with your face.

Getting a Clean Detection

Why does one selfie map cleanly while another leaves half the points drifting off your actual features? Usually it comes down to one of four things.

Square to the Camera

Turn your head even slightly and the far-side points get pushed inward, throwing off every width-based reading downstream, including the golden ratio analyzer's proportion math.

Camera at Eye Level

A phone held above or below your face tilts the entire point map, not just the points nearest the lens.

Neutral Expression

A wide smile drags the lip and cheek points a surprising distance from where they sit at rest.

Even Lighting

A point can't be placed on a feature a shadow has swallowed. Heavy side lighting is the most common reason a jaw point ends up sitting in the wrong spot.

Why We Show You the Raw Points

Most face-analysis tools hand you a finished verdict and keep the underlying work to themselves. That's a defensible design choice, but it leaves you with no way to sanity-check a result you disagree with — if a tool calls your face "oval" and that doesn't match how you see yourself, you can't tell whether the model misread your jaw or whether you simply expected a different label.

This page exists to close that gap. Switch the points on and you can see exactly where the model thinks your jaw ends, where it placed your cheekbones, and whether your brow points landed on your brows. When a result looks off, this is usually where the reason turns up — a point buried in your hairline, or a jaw outline pulled sideways by the angle of the shot.

What the Points Cannot Tell You

There's no point anywhere on the hairline. That's the biggest limit of this 68-point standard, and it means total face length can only be estimated — derived from the distance between your brows and chin using the classical facial-thirds proportion. Any tool claiming to read your forehead height precisely from a single photo is extrapolating, this one included.

Eyebrow thickness is out of reach the same way. The five points per brow trace a centre line through it rather than its outline, so an eyebrow read can measure arch height and angle but has nothing to say about how full or thin your brows are.

And every point sits on a flat image — depth isn't part of the model. Turn your head even slightly and the far side of your face compresses in the frame; the points on that side shift inward, and any measurement spanning the width of your face moves with them. This is why the same person can get two different face-shape reads from two photos taken a minute apart.

Using the Map

Turn the mesh off to see the bare points on their own, or isolate a single region to check it in isolation. Wondering how a specific result on another page was reached? Isolating the region behind it is usually the fastest way to find out — jawline for a face-shape verdict, eyes and brows for a symmetry score or an eye shape detector result, the lip outline for a lip-shape read.

About This Tool

Ahsan Fayyaz trained the detection model behind this page in-house and benchmarked it against other face-analysis tools rather than licensing one from a third party. It's the same coordinate layer running under every measurement tool in the toolkit. It's built for informational and entertainment purposes only, not medical, clinical, or professional advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's the coordinate layer every other tool on this site measures from — 68 fixed points placed on your jaw, eyebrows, nose, eyes, and lips, shown to you directly instead of staying hidden behind a finished result.
Sixty-eight — the same count and the same layout for every photo.
Yes. Two free scans a day, no account required.
No. Your photo is processed by our own in-house model and deleted from the server right after the points are generated. What you see on screen afterward lives only in your browser's cache — refresh the page and it's gone on both ends, permanently.
It's an established layout used widely across face-analysis research, chosen because it covers every major feature — jaw, brows, nose, eyes, mouth — without wasting points on areas, like skin texture, that don't help with shape or proportion.
Yes — the tool has a toggle for that. Turn it on and each of the 68 points is labeled with its index number.
No. This is the coordinate layer other tools build on, not a face-shape verdict itself — for that, the site's dedicated face-shape tool reads the same points and applies its own ratio thresholds.
It's not part of the 68-point standard. Hair boundaries vary too much — with hairstyle, lighting, and hair loss all changing where an edge would even be — to place a reliable point there.
It's derived, not measured directly — calculated from the distance between your brows and chin using the classical facial-thirds proportion, rather than read off a point that doesn't exist.
No. The five points per brow trace its centre line, not its outer and inner edges, so arch height and angle are measurable but fullness isn't.
It'll still produce a result, but not a reliable one. Turning your head compresses the far side of your face in the frame, pushing those points inward and skewing any measurement that depends on width.
More than most people expect. A point can only be placed on a feature the model can actually see, and heavy shadow across half your jaw or brow is one of the most common reasons a point lands somewhere it shouldn't.
Sometimes. Thick frames can obscure the eye points, and a full beard can hide enough of the jawline that those points get placed less precisely. Neither one breaks the map outright, but a clean, unobstructed shot gives the most reliable result.
Yes — identical engine, identical 68 points, identical numbering. This page just shows you the coordinates directly instead of turning them into a verdict.
It moves things more than you'd think. A wide smile pulls the lip and cheek points away from their resting position, so a neutral expression gives a cleaner, more representative set of points.
Yes. The region controls let you view a single area — jaw, brows, nose, eyes, or lips — on its own instead of all 68 points at once.
No. Two free scans a day work without one; creating a free account raises that daily limit, and paid plans remove the cap entirely.
Yes, the same upload and mapping process runs on a phone browser as on desktop.
Yes, and it's expected rather than a bug — angle, expression, and lighting all shift where individual points land, which is exactly why the tips above exist.
