1.807RatioWhat is FWHR?
FWHR stands for facial width-to-height ratio: the width across the cheeks divided by the height of the upper face. Our photo measurement uses cheek landmarks for width and the distance from the midpoint of the brow landmarks to the upper lip for height. It is not the ratio of your whole face from hairline to chin.
Cheekbone width ÷ brow-to-upper-lip height
How to measure your FWHR
Choose a clear, front-facing photo with the camera at eye level, even lighting and a relaxed, closed mouth. Keep both cheeks and your brows visible. Avoid a tilted head, beauty filters and wide-angle close-ups when comparing photos.
For the photo tool, upload your image to open the face analysis. The measurement lines show the cheek span used for width. For a manual calculation, measure between the same two cheek positions on a straight-on photo.
Measure vertically from the brow midpoint to the upper lip, then divide the cheek width by that height. Use the same unit for both lengths: pixels with pixels, or millimeters with millimeters. Choose Enter dimensions above to calculate the ratio without uploading a photo.
FWHR calculation example
Suppose the cheek width in a photo is 140 pixels and the brow-to-upper-lip height is 70 pixels. Divide the width by the height:
140 ÷ 70 = 2.000
The FWHR is 2.000: the measured cheek span is twice the measured height. These are illustrative dimensions, not a result from the sample portrait. Measuring 14 mm and 7 mm gives the same ratio; mixing pixels and millimeters does not.
How to read your face ratio
A higher FWHR means a wider cheek span relative to the measured height; a lower FWHR means a narrower span relative to that height. To compare two photos, keep the pose, camera distance, expression and measurement points consistent. The full report places this ratio alongside other facial measurements.

What is a good FWHR?
A reference range only makes sense with its measurement method and source. This calculator uses brow-to-upper-lip height, so a range based on a different height is not directly comparable. Read the ratio as a description of that proportion rather than a target number for every face.
Can I calculate FWHR without uploading a photo?
Yes. Choose Enter dimensions, enter your cheek width and brow-to-upper-lip height in the same unit, and the ratio updates as you type. Both lengths must be positive. The manual calculator is free and needs no account.
Why do FWHR calculators give different results?
Calculators may use different cheek positions or different upper-face height landmarks. Photo angle, expression and automatic point placement can also change the measured distances. Check the formula and landmark definitions before comparing numbers from two tools.
