Audit a dating photo
Nine measurements on framing, lighting, eye contact and sharpness. Runs on your phone — the photo never leaves it.
Short answer
This rates the photograph, not the person in it. It reports how much of the frame the face fills, whether the subject is lit from the front or behind, how much fine detail survives, whether the exposure is usable, and whether there are enough pixels for the platform you're uploading to.
What each measurement means
Face size
The face's bounding box as a percentage of the frame. Below about 12% and it's unreadable at thumbnail size; above about 45% and it crops like a passport photo.
Lighting direction
Average brightness of the face compared with the whole frame. A face darker than its surroundings means you're backlit — the most common and most fixable fault in amateur portraits.
Sharpness
Variance of the Laplacian, the standard measure of high-frequency detail. It matters more than people expect, because platforms re-compress uploads and a slightly soft image degrades further.
Exposure
Mean luminance across the frame, flagging both crushed shadows and blown highlights.
Eye contact and camera angle
Head yaw, pitch and roll from the face landmarks, combined with whether the eyes are actually open and visible.
Where this is useful
It was built for dating photos, where these faults are expensive, but the measurements are the same for a professional headshot, a social avatar or a CV photo. Nothing about the analysis is dating-specific.
