Original portraits

Demonstration. The page above is running the same script you would install.

Install in one line

Paste this before the closing body tag. Then mark the portraits you want optimised.

<script src="https://5ivehead.com/embed.js" data-level="2" async></script>

Then add data-fivehead to each portrait, or to a wrapper around a group of them:

<img src="/team/ada.jpg" data-fivehead alt="Ada Lovelace">

<div class="team" data-fivehead>
  <img src="/team/grace.jpg" alt="Grace Hopper">
  <img src="/team/alan.jpg" alt="Alan Turing">
</div>
WordPress

Add the snippet under Appearance, Theme File Editor, footer.php, or with a header and footer plugin.

Squarespace

Settings, Advanced, Code Injection, Footer.

Shopify

Online Store, Themes, Edit code, theme.liquid before the closing body tag.

Webflow

Project Settings, Custom Code, Footer Code.

Wix

Settings, Custom Code, add to Body, end.

React and Next.js

Add with a script tag in your root layout. Call window.FiveHead.run() after route changes.

Options

Everything is optional. The defaults suit most websites.

AttributeDefaultWhat it does
data-level2Enhancement level from 1 (Standard) to 3 (Executive).
data-selectorimg[data-fivehead]A CSS selector for the portraits to optimise, for sites you cannot edit.
data-manualfalseSet to true to run it yourself with FiveHead.run().

FiveHead.run(level) optimises the marked portraits. FiveHead.restore() puts the originals back. A fivehead:done event fires when it has finished.

Built for the way websites work

Runs in the browser

Portraits are processed on the visitor's device. Your images are never sent to 5iveHead.

Your originals stay untouched

Nothing is changed on your server or in your media library. Remove the script and everything returns to normal.

Groups and teams

Photos with several people are supported. Faces that are turned away or too small are left alone.

Light by design

One script file, loaded asynchronously, so it never delays your page.

Your portrait stays on your device

5iveHead processes your photo in your web browser. Your portrait is not uploaded to our servers, is not stored by us and is not shared with anyone.

What we collect

This website does not use cookies or analytics, and we do not ask you to create an account. If you join a waiting list, we will store the email address you provide for the sole purpose of contacting you about 5iveHead.

Third-party services

To detect faces, your browser downloads a model file from Google and a code library from jsDelivr when you use the tool. These requests do not include your photo.
