PSL Score — Calculate It from One Photo
Upload a front-facing photo and get a PSL-style score between 1 and 8, computed from measurable geometry with every weight and formula shown — never a black-box opinion.
In short: A PSL score is a 1–8 rating in the style of internet look-rating scales, assigned here by a published formula: your photo's geometry balance index (0–100) is mapped linearly onto the scale as 1 + 7 × index ÷ 100. Same photo and same formula version always produce the same PSL score — and it measures photo geometry, not a person's worth.

The number
What a PSL score is — and what it is not
Before the calculator gives you a number, know exactly what kind of number it is.
Online communities invented the PSL score as a way to compress a photo's facial geometry into a single 1–8 figure. Our version keeps the 1–8 range and the community's rough meaning, but replaces opinion with measurement: an on-device model extracts 478 facial landmarks, the engine computes symmetry, facial thirds, eye spacing and proportion metrics, and a published formula combines them into a geometry balance index that is then mapped to the PSL score.
What a PSL score is not: it is not a clinical measurement, a psychological assessment, or a verdict on how attractive you are. It is a reproducible description of one photograph's geometry — nothing more. We publish the scoring rules, version them, refuse to fake missing data, and show the full breakdown next to every PSL score so you can check the arithmetic yourself.

Calculation
How your PSL score is calculated
Four transparent steps, each one visible in your result panel.
- 1
Landmark extraction for the PSL score
Your photo is analyzed locally by a face landmark model. No image data is transmitted; the model itself is served from this site and cached by your browser.
- 2
PSL score component scoring
Symmetry becomes 0–100 from mirrored pair offsets; facial thirds compare your hairline-to-chin split against the equal-thirds reference; eye spacing compares inner-corner distance to face width. Each component's formula is public.
- 3
Weighted combination of the PSL score
Components are averaged with fixed weights (symmetry 0.4, thirds 0.3, spacing 0.3). If a component cannot be measured honestly — for example thirds without a confirmed hairline — it is dropped and the weights renormalize. The PSL score never invents filler values.
- 4
Mapping to the PSL score scale
The 0–100 index becomes a PSL score via 1 + 7 × index ÷ 100, shown to one decimal. The mapping is linear and published — no curve-fitting to flatter or deflate anyone.
Breakdown
Reading your PSL score breakdown
The headline PSL score is the least interesting number on the page — the breakdown is where the learning happens.
Symmetry behind your PSL score
Paired landmarks — eye corners, brows, cheeks, mouth corners, jaw — are reflected across your roll-corrected midline. Small offsets are universal; the composite shows how yours compare.
Thirds and spacing components
The thirds component uses your confirmed hairline position; the spacing component reads inner-eye distance against face width. Both explain a large share of typical PSL score differences between photos.
The photo, annotated
The overlay draws the measurement frame on your photo — face oval, midline, eye and cheek lines — and downloads as a PNG so your PSL score is verifiable rather than asserted.
Because the breakdown is itemized, you can see which component moved your PSL score. Two photos of the same face often differ mainly in one component — a tilted camera hurting symmetry, or a low hairline confusing thirds — which teaches more about photography than about faces.
Honesty first
The limits every PSL score carries
We would rather refuse a number than decorate a guess.
A PSL score describes one two-dimensional photograph. Camera distance, lens distortion, lighting, head pose and expression all shift the underlying measurements — sometimes by a full scale point. The tool's quality gate blocks photos with closed eyes, strong rotation, multiple faces or low resolution rather than emitting a confident wrong PSL score.
The score also does not compare you to a database of faces — no such comparison exists on this site, and claims of 'more attractive than 87% of people' would be fiction. Your PSL score is your photo measured against public geometric references, in a versioned formula, computed where nobody else can see it.
- Same photo + same formula version = same PSL score, always.
- Missing components are excluded and weights renormalized — never guessed.
- Photos, landmarks and scores stay in your browser and vanish when the tab closes.
- The interactive PSL scale page explains each of the eight levels this score maps onto.

Go deeper than the PSL score
One number compresses a lot; sibling tools unpack it.
If your PSL score raised a specific question, follow it: the canthal tilt page measures the eye-corner angles that eye-area discussions revolve around; the golden ratio and facial thirds pages dig into the proportion components; the symmetrical face page shows the mirrored triptych behind the symmetry number. Each tool runs on the same measurement engine, so the numbers agree across pages.
For a lighter take on the same geometry, the rate my face page renders your metrics into a downloadable card — handy for sharing a PSL score with friends without handing over a photo. And the full PSL scale chart remains the reference for what each level of the PSL score is conventionally understood to mean.
