A free age guessing app, with nothing to install
How Old Do I Look AI is the tool above. It is a website: no store package, no account, no subscription. You get 10 estimates a day. The photo is analyzed in memory and never stored.
A download page rarely says if you get a range, what a second photo costs, or why it wants the camera. Run the tool, then use the checks below.
Add it on iPhone
Apple's steps start in Safari: Share, Add to Home Screen, Add. If that action is missing, turn it on under Edit Actions. There is a plain shortcut and a switch called Open as Web App. Apple's bookmark steps and web app steps spell both out.
Switch off: the icon opens this page in Safari. Switch on: Apple says the site opens like an app you leave from the app switcher. The icon stays on that iPhone only.
This site has no web app manifest, no service worker, and no home-screen image beyond a small SVG site icon. Safari may use that or draw its own. The switch does not add offline pages, and the site never asks to send notifications. Each estimate needs a connection.
Add it on Android
In Chrome, open the menu and find Add to Home screen. Chrome's article splits it into Install app, for sites that pass install rules, and Create shortcut, which opens the page in a tab. MDN says a non-PWA icon is only a bookmark into the browser.
This site has no manifest and no service worker, so it is not an installable progressive web app. If both choices appear, use Create shortcut. It opens this page in Chrome and does not work offline. The labels change by Chrome version.
What to look for in any age guessing app
Check five things before you install another age guessing app.
- A range and a confidence level, not one naked number.
- Named cues, so a bad photo is obvious.
- A photo policy you can quote. Here the photo is analyzed in memory and never stored.
- Permissions. Camera only after Take a selfie: video, microphone off. No account, contacts, or location.
- A paywall. There is none here. The cap is 10 estimates a day.
What two stores listed on 12 November 2026
These are the developers' listings that day, not a score of accuracy, and prices change. On the US App Store, How Old Do I Look by Tripti Kumari is free, with in-app purchases at $4.99, $4.99, and $29.99, age rating 18+. Its privacy label says Purchases, Identifiers, Usage Data, and Diagnostics may be used to track you. The description says a subscription unlocks unlimited use and that the app extracts gender as well as age.
How Old Do I Look? Face Age by Yurii Kriuchkov is free, at $4.99 a week, $4.99 a month, and $19.99 a year, age rating 4+, and it says it contains advertising. Its privacy label says Location, Identifiers, Usage Data, and Diagnostics may be used to track you. The description says it analyzes each face, and it requires iOS 16 or later.
On Google Play, How Old Do I Look by GlintTec Apps contains ads and in-app purchases. The data-safety form says it may collect app activity, app info and performance, and device or other IDs, that data is encrypted in transit, and that data cannot be deleted. Updated 28 October 2026. Most of the text is filters, face swap, and age progression.
Group photos
Some apps score every face in a group shot. This page does not: two or more clear faces are refused, with a prompt to crop to one person, so a number is never pinned on the wrong face.
What Take a selfie actually does
Take a selfie calls the browser camera API when it exists. MDN documents getUserMedia. The dialog asks for the front camera only: video, facing you, an ideal 1280 by 1280 frame, audio off. Deny it and nothing uploads. Closing the dialog stops the stream.
The preview is mirrored. The file is not: the page draws the camera frame onto a canvas without that flip, then makes a JPEG. A pose you set in the mirror can face the other way on the share card.
With no camera API, the button opens the file picker. The input has no capture flag, so the phone may offer the camera or the library, and it does not force the camera. The browser then rotates the photo, shrinks the long side to 1024 pixels, and re-encodes a JPEG, dropping location and camera metadata. Files over 25 MB are refused first. No face, several faces, or a photo too unclear to judge comes back as a refusal, not a row of ages.
After you have the number
Keep the range and the confidence, not only the big number. The age estimator page explains why two photos of one person disagree. The ChatGPT page is the route if you would rather paste a picture into a chatbot. The main How Old Do I Look AI page is the longer cue guide, the privacy policy is the file rule, and a photo you already saved goes to the age detector.
