FaceCoda: A photo-based geometry tool

FaceCoda is a browser tool for exploring facial geometry in a front-facing photo. Its main test displays a score and a breakdown of measurements such as symmetry and spacing. FaceCoda describes that score as an entertainment reference based on its own targets.

How does the photo test work?

Choose a photo you have permission to use. The site asks for a front-facing view and shows measurement guides on the image. Those guides illustrate the facial landmarks it used for the calculation. You can inspect the components separately rather than trying to infer where the total came from. The site lets users save a PNG of the result.

The publisher describes the photo confidence reading as an indicator of measurement conditions. Turning the head can change apparent symmetry, and visible landmarks determine some distances. A different angle can therefore change the result without indicating a change in the subject.

What does the score represent?

The publisher describes its reference targets as uncalibrated heuristics. It does not offer a population ranking or a validation study. The tool gives users a way to see which measurements the score reflects, but the number does not establish anyone's attractiveness or health. FaceCoda describes the product as intended for adults using photos they are permitted to use.

Is the test free, and where is the photo processed?

The main test is free and does not require an account. FaceCoda's terms say the main test processes photos in the browser. The same terms describe server processing for its separate Hunter Eyes Test, so the main test's processing claim should not be generalized to every FaceCoda page. Before trying another test, check which photo-handling rules the publisher gives for that feature.
