Just for fun
Skullfie turns a selfie into a playful 3D skull. The skull is an artistic estimate built from a generic skull model and your face shape — it is not your real skull and not a medical, scientific or identifying result. Please don't draw conclusions about anyone from it.
Privacy
- Your photo and camera stream are processed on your device, in the browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
- We don't store your photo, the face measurements or the skull. Closing the page discards them.
- A video is created only when you tap Save video, and it stays on your device unless you choose to share it.
- The site is static and hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which, like any web host, sees standard request data (such as your IP address) when pages are loaded.
