Lookmetry

Measure it properly, then choose

Most style tools guess. These measure. Every tool on Lookmetry runs its analysis inside your browser, shows you the numbers it worked from, and tells you how confident it is.

Nothing you photograph is uploaded, stored or shared. There is no account.

Measure your pupillary distance

Eyewear and vision

Measure what a retailer asks for, understand what an optician wrote down, and work out whether a frame fits before you buy it.

Colour and skin

The lighting in your photo decides the answer unless something corrects for it. These correct for it first, then measure.

Face and proportion

Geometry, reported as geometry. No scores, no rankings, and every threshold published so you can disagree with the result.

Privacy

Tools whose whole point is that nothing leaves your device.

Every result has a page of its own

The tools produce categories, and the categories are what people look up. Each of the seven face shapes has its own page now, with the measurements that define it, a worked example that is checked against the classifier, and the single number that separates it from the shape it gets mistaken for.

The seven face shapes · The twelve colour seasons · The five body shapes · Skin undertones

And the questions the measurements raise

Knowing your prescription is one thing; being asked at a counter whether you want the 1.74 lenses is another. The guides answer the decisions that follow a measurement — which lens material is worth the money, whether a varifocal will fit the frame you like, what the boxes on a prescription mean — with the arithmetic shown rather than a conclusion asserted.

1.67 vs 1.74 lenses · Bifocal vs progressive · What SPH, CYL and axis mean · The average face, measured

Why the numbers are on show

A tool that says "you have a heart-shaped face" and nothing else is asking you to take it on faith. We would rather show the four widths and the two ratios that produced the answer, tell you which frames were rejected and why, and publish the spread across measurements so you can judge whether to trust a single reading.

That applies most of all to measurements you are about to spend money on. If your pupillary distance comes out at 63.5 mm give or take two millimetres, that is a different situation from 63.5 give or take a quarter, and a tool that hides the difference is not helping you.
