A PSL score is a number from 0 to 8 that places a face on the informal PSL scale. About 4 is the middle of the population, 5 to 6 is above average, and 6.5 or more is exceptional.

How do I check my PSL score for free?

Upload a front-facing photo on this page. The free score is calculated entirely in your browser from 478 face landmarks and 16 measurements, with no account and no upload.

Is a PSL score the same as a PSL rating?

They are used interchangeably. On this site the score is the 0 to 8 number, the rating is the whole result, and the tier is the band the number falls in.

Why is my PSL score different on another site?

Every site uses its own method and its own ideal bands, and most do not publish them. This tool publishes its formula, so you can see exactly why your number is what it is.

Can I raise my PSL score?

The underlying bone structure is fixed, but the photo is not. Eye-level camera, soft front light, a neutral face and a level head change the measured score a lot.

How to check your PSL score

Checking your PSL score takes four steps and under a minute. The free score needs no account, and the photo never leaves your browser.

1
Pick how to read the scale
Choose neutral, male or female. This only changes the ideal measurement bands and the tier names.
2
Add a front-facing photo
Upload one, paste one, or use the camera guide. Look straight at the lens, relaxed, with soft light on your face.
3
Wait for the scan
Your browser maps 478 landmarks and measures symmetry, thirds, the eye area, jaw and midface. This takes a few seconds.
4
Read your PSL score
You get a number from 0 to 8, your tier, five dimension scores and every measurement against its ideal band.

What goes into your PSL score

The score is built from 16 measurements, each compared with a published ideal band and scored from 0 to 100, then weighted into five dimensions. The weights are public, so you can see which part of your face moves the number most.

How the PSL score is weighted
Dimension	Weight	Example measurements
Eye area	25%	Canthal tilt, eye spacing, eye openness
Symmetry	22%	Left–right balance, how level the features sit
Proportions	22%	Facial thirds, face width in eye-widths
Jaw & chin	17%	Jaw-to-cheekbone width, jaw angle
Midface harmony	14%	Nose width, mouth-to-nose ratio, lip balance

Every number is shown on your result. The full list of bands is on how the PSL rating works.

PSL score vs PSL rating vs PSL tier

These three terms get mixed up. Here is how this site uses them.

PSL score, rating and tier compared
Term	What it means	Example
PSL score	The single number from 0 to 8	5.25
PSL rating	The whole result: score, tier, dimensions and measurements	Everything on your result page
PSL tier	The band the score falls in, with a neutral and a community name	Above average (HTN / HTB)

What is a good PSL score?

Four is the middle of the scale and describes a typical face, so a score between 3.5 and 5 is completely normal. Five to six is clearly above average, and the top tiers are rare. The chart shows where each range sits; the longer guide is what a PSL score means.

Illustrative shape of the scale. Most people fall between 3.5 and 5; every tier above 6 covers only a few percent.

Why your PSL score changes between photos

The same face gets different scores in different photos, and the tool shows you how much. On one AI-generated portrait, the geometry score was 6.44 for a straight-on photo, 5.70 with a broad smile, 5.04 with the head turned about 22 degrees, and 4.41 when shot too close with a wide-angle lens. Nothing about the face changed; only the photo did.

Hold the camera at eye level, about an arm and a half away.
Face the lens with a relaxed, neutral expression and a closed mouth.
Use soft light from the front, not from above or behind you.
Take two or three photos and trust the overlap, not any single number.

Real output of the on-device geometry rating on three AI-generated portraits. Image generators tend to produce unusually symmetric, evenly proportioned faces, so these score high. Photos of real people usually land lower and closer to the middle of the scale.
