Eye Distance Calculator
Upload a photo to measure your eye spacing ratio in seconds. Our free eye distance calculator finds out if you have close-set, average, or wide-set eyes — measured against the classic ideal eye spacing guideline — with personalised styling tips. No sign-up, fully private.
How the Eye Distance Calculator Works
Four steps from photo to personalized styling tips — all processed locally on your device.
Upload or take a photo
Upload a clear, front-facing photo or use your device camera directly in the browser. Keep both eyes fully visible.
AI maps 478 facial landmarks
MediaPipe Face Landmarker runs entirely in your browser and locates 478 precise points — including the inner and outer corners of each eye — without uploading any data.
The spacing ratio is measured
The calculator measures the gap between your inner eye corners and compares it to the width of a single eye — the classic "ideal" beauty-guideline proportion.
Your eye spacing is classified
Based on that ratio, your eyes are classified as Close-Set, Average, or Wide-Set, with tailored makeup and styling tips.
Eye Spacing Types: Which Are You?
Three eye spacing categories measured against the classic one-eye-width proportion.
Close-Set
Inner-corner gap narrower than one eye-width — an intense, focused gaze.
- ·Focus shadow toward the outer corner
- ·Extend liner slightly past the outer edge
- ·Keep inner-corner highlighter subtle
Average
Inner-corner gap close to one eye-width — the classic balanced proportion.
- ·Most eyeliner and shadow styles suit this spacing
- ·Symmetrical application looks natural
- ·Experiment freely with any technique
Wide-Set
Inner-corner gap wider than one eye-width — an open, wide-eyed appearance.
- ·Darken shadow toward the inner corner
- ·Start liner right at the inner corner
- ·Avoid extending liner far past the outer edge
How to Photograph for Eye Spacing
A good photo makes a significant difference. Follow these tips for the most accurate eye spacing result.
Face the camera directly
Look straight ahead — chin level, not tilted up or down. Even a small angle changes the measured spacing.
Relaxed, neutral expression
A neutral, relaxed expression gives the most consistent baseline for measuring eye position.
Even, natural lighting
Soft daylight from in front is ideal. Heavy shadows across the eye area can affect the detected corners.
Normal shooting distance
Avoid extreme close-ups — wide-angle lens distortion at close range can skew the measured proportions.
Single face in frame
The analyzer works best with one person clearly visible. Make sure no other faces are partially in the frame.
Both eyes fully visible
Push hair or a fringe away from your eyes so both inner and outer corners are clearly visible.
Unexpected result? Retake the photo in natural light, facing the camera directly at a normal distance with both eyes fully visible. Close-up shots and lens distortion can shift the classification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about eye spacing and how the calculator works.
What is an eye distance calculator?
An eye distance calculator uses AI facial landmark detection to measure the gap between your inner eye corners and compares it to the width of a single eye, from a photo. It classifies the result as close-set, average, or wide-set, and pairs the result with makeup and styling tips.
What is a good eye spacing ratio?
The classic beauty-guideline proportion considers a spacing ratio of about 1.0 — where the gap between your inner eye corners equals the width of one eye — the "ideal" or average spacing. This tool measures your actual ratio rather than assuming a fixed value, since it varies naturally between individuals.
What is considered wide eye spacing?
Eyes are generally considered wide-set when the gap between the inner corners is noticeably more than one eye-width — this tool classifies a spacing ratio above roughly 1.12 as wide-set. Wide-set eyes are a common, natural variation, not a flaw.
What is considered close-set eyes?
Eyes are generally considered close-set when the gap between the inner corners is less than one eye-width — this tool classifies a spacing ratio below roughly 0.88 as close-set. Close-set eyes are a common, natural variation, not a flaw.
Is my photo stored or shared?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using Google's MediaPipe Face Landmarker. Your photo never leaves your device and is not uploaded to any server.
How accurate is the eye spacing calculation?
Accuracy depends on photo quality. A clear, well-lit, front-facing photo taken at a normal distance (not an extreme close-up, which can introduce lens distortion) will give the most reliable result.
What landmarks are used to measure eye spacing?
The tool uses the inner and outer eye-corner landmarks from the MediaPipe 478-point face mesh — points 33 and 133 for the left eye, and 362 and 263 for the right eye. The gap between the inner corners is divided by the average width of a single eye to compute the spacing ratio.
Can eye spacing change over time?
The underlying bone structure that determines eye spacing is essentially fixed by adulthood and does not meaningfully change. What can change is how the spacing appears — through eyebrow shaping, eyeliner and eyeshadow technique, and hairstyle framing.
Does eye spacing affect attractiveness?
No single eye spacing is objectively more attractive — close-set, average, and wide-set eyes are all common, natural variations found across every population. This tool is for informational and styling purposes, not to suggest any spacing is better than another.
Can I use this tool for men?
Yes — eye spacing measurement applies equally to all genders. The classification describes proportions, not style preferences, and the tips can be adapted for any grooming or makeup context.
How is this different from a face symmetry test?
A face symmetry test compares the left and right halves of your face to each other. This eye distance calculator measures a single proportion — the spacing between your eyes relative to eye width — regardless of overall facial symmetry. See our face symmetry test for a full left-right comparison.
Eye Spacing: A Complete Guide
What eye spacing means, how it's measured, and how to style each type
The Ideal Eye Spacing Proportion
Eye spacing is traditionally assessed by a simple beauty-guideline ratio: the gap between the inner corners of the eyes should equal the width of one eye. This proportion — a ratio of 1.0 — is often cited as "ideal", though real proportions vary naturally and close-set or wide-set spacing is common and unremarkable.
How This Calculator Works
This tool uses Google MediaPipe Face Landmarker, trained on millions of diverse faces to place 478 landmarks with sub-pixel accuracy. The inner and outer corner points of each eye are used to compute the gap and average eye width, then divided to produce your spacing ratio. Your photo never leaves your device — all computation runs locally in your browser.
