About Mienlore

Mienlore is a free web service that reads a face photo through the framework of the traditional East Asian face-reading (physiognomy) lineage. Take a photo or upload one and it explains the three zones, five features, twelve palaces and the age map. It is available in Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, and needs no sign-up.

What it does

• Face reading: measures 478 facial landmarks inside your browser and explains face type and the five elements, forehead, brows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin and left–right balance by classical standards. If you enter an age, the region of the face that governs that period is highlighted.
• Compatibility: compares the photos of two or more people for relationships such as romance, marriage, business partnership and teamwork.
• Sketch report: instead of your photo, a line sketch marks the three zones, measured points and twelve palaces, with evidence grades and a measurement table. Save it as an image or PDF.
• Guide and Uses: explain where the framework comes from, the terms, how to use a reading in everyday life and where not to use it.

What the readings are based on

Readings follow the Mayi Xiangfa lineage of traditional face reading, and the guide lists which source each standard comes from. Whether a nose is "high" or a face is "wide" depends on what it is compared with, so you choose your country and a reference group, and measurements are calibrated to that group's average. The reference group is used only to calibrate measurements and never appears in the wording of a reading.

What happens to your photo

Face measurement happens only in your browser. Photos are neither uploaded nor stored, and they are discarded when the analysis ends. Please upload another person's photo only with their consent. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

How we run it

• Face reading is a traditional East Asian interpretation. The claim that a face reveals personality or destiny has not been scientifically proven. Mienlore retells this tradition as cultural entertainment content. Please do not base medical, legal, financial, hiring or dating decisions on a result.
• The same person can get different results with a different expression, angle or lighting. You must be 14 or older to use the Service.
• Google AdSense ads are shown on some guide pages to cover running costs. Ads do not change the content of a reading. How ads and cookies are handled is explained in section 3-2 of the Privacy Policy.
