AI Face Analysis Estimates Attractiveness

Show HN: Face Analysis is a free AI face analysis test that estimates how appealing a face appears in a specific photo. It gives a 1–10 model score, allowing users to compare profile-photo options.

The model was trained on thousands of face photos rated by 60 real people. It learns from how people rated those photos instead of calculating a score from facial landmarks alone. Higher scores reflect the model’s estimate, not an objective measure of a person.

Users can upload one clear photo or up to five JPG, PNG, or Web P files, each up to 50 MB. The guide recommends 3–5 similar photos for a steadier estimate. It says to use a front-facing image with one person centered, both eyes visible, even lighting, minimal blur, and no filters or retouching.

The score is a rough guide, not a final judgment about appearance or value. Lighting, pose, expression, and image quality can affect it. The model should not be used to infer someone’s background or gender or compare people across demographic groups.
