How the AI gender check works
This gender detector looks at a face photo and reports whether the AI model
reads it as male or female, along with how confident it is. It is the same
kind of classifier used in face-filter and "gender swap" apps, and it runs on
MiVOLO v2 together with an age estimate.
The result describes how a face looks to a model trained on photos, not who
someone is. It can't know anyone's gender identity, and androgynous styles,
make-up and camera angles easily change the answer.
Frequently asked questions
Is FaceAI free?
Yes. You can guess your age, check gender and see what ethnicity you look like for free, as many times as you want. There's no sign-up, no login and no app to install: it runs in your web browser.
How accurate is the AI age guess?
On clear, well-lit, front-facing photos it is usually within a few years of your real age. Filters, make-up, low light, sunglasses or unusual angles can make it much less accurate.
Can AI tell my race or ethnicity?
No. It can only say which world regions your face looks similar to, based on faces it was trained on. Appearance doesn't determine ancestry, ethnicity or nationality, so treat the percentages as a bit of fun.
Why does the AI think I look older or younger than I am?
Age models learn from typical faces. Skin texture, facial hair, glasses, hairstyle, lighting and image quality all shift the estimate. Try a sharp photo taken in daylight, facing the camera, with no filter.
Do I need to sign up or download an app?
No. There's no account, email or app needed. Open the page, upload a photo or take a selfie, and you get your results right away.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Open the site in your phone's browser and tap Camera to take a selfie, or Choose File to pick a photo from your gallery.
What if there is more than one person in the photo?
FaceAI needs a photo of just one person. If it finds more than one face, it asks you to use another photo or crop this one so only one person is in it.
