What is a free AI PSL face rating?
A PSL rating is a facial attractiveness score from the looksmaxxing forums, on a strict scale that runs from 1 to 8 rather than 1 to 10. It weighs bone structure, harmony and the eye area more than grooming, which is why a PSL score usually comes in lower than a casual "rate me" number. A useful PSL rater should not stop at a mystery number. It should show which measurements helped, which lowered the score, and what a better photo or a real change would move.
MyLooksMax keeps the promise simple: a free AI PSL face rating, a 1-10 equivalent, and a breakdown you can act on. The number is the hook. The measurements behind it are where the value is.
How this free PSL rater measures your face
The rater runs a face landmark model in your browser. It finds 478 points on the face, corrects for head tilt, turn and camera height, and then measures four things that facial aesthetics research and the PSL community both use:
Symmetry, 35%
Sixteen mirrored landmark pairs (eye corners, brows, cheek edges, jaw corners, nostrils, mouth corners) are compared across the midline. The average left to right difference, as a share of face width, becomes the symmetry score.
Facial thirds, 25%
Hairline to brow, brow to nose base, nose base to chin. The classical ideal is three equal thirds, with the mouth sitting one third of the way down the lower third.
Facial fifths, 25%
At eye level the face should divide into five eye widths: edge to outer corner, eye, the gap between the eyes, eye, outer corner to edge. Eye spacing is the part raters notice most.
Golden ratio, 15%
Four harmony ratios: face length to width, mouth width to nose width, nose width to eye spacing, and mouth width to pupil spacing, each compared with its classical ideal.
Also reported
Canthal tilt in degrees for each eye, jaw angle and jaw width, facial width to height ratio (FWHR), a hunter eyes read and your face shape. Open "All measurements" under the result.
Photo checks
If the head is turned, the camera sits above or below eye level, or the face is small in the frame, the rater says so next to the result, because those are the things that move the numbers most.
The composite geometry score (0 to 100) is mapped to the PSL scale so that an ordinary, balanced face lands around 4 and only unusually harmonious faces reach 6 and above. The everyday 1-10 figure shown under the PSL score follows the conversion the community uses, where a PSL 4 reads as roughly 5.5 out of 10.
The PSL scale, band by band
The bands below follow how the scale is used on the forums. The population shares are the community's rough estimates, not a measured study.
| PSL | Tier name | Roughly | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Sub-3 | bottom 2% | Major asymmetry or a structural issue visible from across the room. |
| 3 | Low-tier normie | bottom 20 to 25% | Proportions clearly off the ideals in one area: a recessed chin, very wide set eyes, a long midface. |
| 4 | Mid-tier normie | the middle 40 to 50% | Average. Nothing is far off, nothing stands out. Most faces measure here, and grooming decides how a 4 is perceived. |
| 5 | High-tier normie | top 20% | Good harmony with one strong feature: a positive canthal tilt, a defined jaw or near perfect symmetry. |
| 6 | Chadlite | top 3 to 5% | Everything balanced and two or three features strong. Reads as model-adjacent in a good photo. |
| 7 | Chad | top 1% | Every ratio near the ideal at once. Rare enough that the community argues about who qualifies. |
| 8 | Gigachad | one in tens of thousands | The theoretical top of the scale. Almost nobody measures here honestly. |

PSL score vs the 1-10 rating
People search for a free PSL rating and a "rate me 1-10" as if they were the same thing. They are not. The 1-10 scale is generous and centred on 6; the PSL scale is strict and centred on 4. The conversion the community uses looks like this:
| PSL | 1-10 equivalent | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 4 to 4.5 | below average |
| 4 | 5 to 5.5 | average |
| 5 | 6 to 6.5 | above average |
| 6 | 7 to 7.5 | chadlite |
| 7 | 8 to 8.5 | chad |
| 8 | 9 to 10 | gigachad |
If you want the everyday number on its own, the free AI rate me page shows the same measurement as a 1-10 score.
What moves a PSL score, and what only looks like it does
Bone moves it. Symmetry, the three thirds, eye spacing and jaw width are set by the skull and change little after your early twenties. That is why the PSL community treats these measurements as the "hard" part of a rating.
The photo moves it more than you think. A camera held below the chin lengthens the lower third and widens the jaw. A camera held high shrinks the chin. A phone at arm's length with the wide lens pushes the nose out and pulls the ears in. A head turned ten degrees costs several symmetry points. Take two photos with the same setup and the scores will match; take two photos with different setups and they will not. Fix the photo before you read anything into the number.
Soft tissue is invisible to a ruler. Body fat under the jaw, skin quality, hair, brow grooming, the expression in the eyes and posture are what people react to in person, and none of them change a landmark measurement much. They do change a rating from a human or from an AI that looks at the whole photo. That gap is exactly what the app is for.
How to get the best score estimate
- Camera at eye level, at arm's length or further. Use the rear camera or a timer if you can.
- Bright, even light from the front. No window behind you, no lamp above you.
- Neutral expression, mouth closed, hair off the forehead so the hairline is visible.
- No filters, no beauty mode, no cropping that cuts the chin or the ears.
- Face the camera straight on. The rater corrects small turns, but a profile is a different measurement.
- Use the same setup when you compare progress over time.
The fastest wins are presentation fixes: lighting, photo quality, hair, skin routine, grooming, posture and clothing that frames the face. The PSL score is the baseline. The improvement order is where the value is.
What the geometry cannot see, and where ChadMe comes in
This page measures proportions. It cannot tell a defined jawline from a soft one at the same width, it cannot score skin, hair, brows or the eye area beyond tilt and shape, and it cannot judge harmony the way a person does. The ChadMe app does that part: it rates the selfie 1-10 with separate scores for jawline, eyes, skin, hair, harmony and symmetry, writes a breakdown of each, and shows a potential ceiling and the changes that would raise the score. Run the free measurement here first, then take the same photo into the app for the reading.
Free PSL rating FAQ
Can I get a free PSL rating here?
Yes. Upload one front-facing selfie in the rater above. It is measured in your browser and the PSL score, the 1-10 equivalent and the four scores behind it appear on this page. No signup, no email, no upload.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The landmark model downloads to your browser once and runs on your device. The photo never leaves your phone or computer. Saving the result image is also done on your device.
What does the PSL rater check?
Symmetry across sixteen mirrored landmark pairs, the balance of the facial thirds, the balance of the facial fifths, and four classical harmony ratios. It also reports canthal tilt, jaw angle and width, FWHR, a hunter eyes read and face shape.
How accurate is it?
The measurements are precise to a few pixels on a clear photo. What limits accuracy is the photo: camera height, distance, lens and head angle move every proportion. It also measures geometry only, so two faces with the same proportions and very different skin, hair or jaw definition get the same score here and different scores from a person.
Why is my score different from an app or from ChatGPT?
Different method. This rater measures distances and angles and compares them with classical ideals. An AI model that looks at the whole photo judges texture, expression, grooming and impression, so it can rate a well-groomed 4 as a 5 and a tired 5 as a 4. Neither is wrong; they measure different things.
What is a good PSL score?
4 is average and most people measure between 3.5 and 5.5. A 5 is roughly the top 20 percent, a 6 roughly the top 5 percent. Anything at 7 or above is rare enough to be argued over.
Does it work for women?
Yes. The tier names come from a male-coded forum culture, but the proportions (symmetry, thirds, fifths, ratios) apply to any face, and the same photo rules apply.
Is a PSL score permanent?
No. It is a photo-based estimate. Retake the photo with the same setup and the number will be stable; change the setup and it will move. Real changes such as fat loss, posture, hair and grooming change how the face is perceived more than they change the geometry.
Which photo works best?
Front-facing, eye level, arm's length, even light, neutral expression, hair off the forehead, no filter. If the rater flags the photo as turned, tilted or too small, retake it before comparing scores.
What is the difference between this and the ChadMe app?
This page measures geometry for free in the browser. ChadMe rates the whole selfie with AI, including jawline definition, eye area, skin, hair and harmony, and writes a trait by trait breakdown with a potential ceiling and next steps.
