Lookrank rates facial attractiveness. Upload a photograph and it returns a score out of 10 in about ten seconds, based on geometric analysis of facial structure, with a community leaderboard, comparative statistics and advanced ratings for members. It is free with no signup for the basic analysis, reports more than a million photos analysed and an average score of 5.2. The operator is Intelligent Vision LLC of Wyoming, built in Europe with data hosted in the EU.
The data handling deserves credit, because it is better than much of this catalogue: a named legal entity, EU hosting, photographs never seen by humans and deleted after 72 hours, and an explicit statement that data is not sold. For a product whose input is a picture of your face, those are the right commitments and many competitors make none of them.
What the score is, though, needs saying directly. **Attractiveness is not a measurable property of a face.** The model reports the aggregated preferences present in whatever it was trained on — preferences that are culturally and demographically specific and change over time — and returning that as a number to one decimal place lends it a precision it does not have. The leaderboard turns it into a ranking against strangers. This category sits at the centre of communities where the documented pattern is worsening body image, particularly among teenagers, and a free tool with no signup is available to exactly those users. As a curiosity for five minutes it is harmless; as something to check repeatedly it is a machine for finding fault with your own face, and it cannot tell which one you are doing.
