Bold or barely there? Compare glasses frames on your face
Upload a frame photo and a clear portrait to explore outline, rim thickness and color. Check face changes and real fitting measurements.
Use a portrait that still looks like you
Take an eye-level, front-facing photo in even light, with your whole face and eyebrows visible. Remove existing glasses and move hair away from the eye area. A relaxed expression is easier to compare than a strong head tilt. Avoid beauty filters and very close wide-angle selfies, which can change facial proportions. Reuse this portrait for your first set of comparisons.
Choose a contrast you actually care about
Instead of starting with rules about which frames a face shape should wear, pick a preference to explore. Compare a thicker dark rim with a thin metal one for visual emphasis, or angular and rounded outlines for a different mood. Keep color similar while comparing shape, then explore colors within a shape you like. There is no need for the preview to assign your face a category.
Make the frame reference unambiguous
Choose a clear product image with both lens openings visible, ideally from the front, and check the exact model and color. A folded side view or a picture of several frames makes the intended outline harder to identify. Keep the shop's side views for details such as temples and hinges. For sunglasses, a generated tint or reflection does not establish the actual lens color or protective properties; check the product specification.
Read the measurements without turning them into a verdict
A listing might show 52-18-140: commonly lens width, bridge width and temple length in millimeters. Confirm the seller's labels, since other numbers can identify a model or color. Compare these with a comfortable existing pair as a starting point, but matching numbers do not guarantee the same fit. Overall front width, bridge design and adjustment also matter. An optician can check physical fit and the measurements needed for your lenses.
Shortlist frames, then try the real fit
Look at the portrait and preview together. If the eyes, nose or face width changed, the frame comparison is no longer using the same reference. Check the rims and bridge against the product image as well. Save a few options with their model, color and dimensions, noting what appeals to you. A real try-on is still needed to assess slipping, pressure at the temples or contact with the cheeks; this preview does not measure pupil distance or confirm prescription suitability.
