Looking for a little fun on the web? Dig up a photo of yourself and check out MyHeritage’s Celebrity Facial Recognition software. After uploading your photo using their simple web form MyHeritage does two quick scans, one to locate the face and a second to detect facial features. The facial features are then compared to a database of  that it uses to compare to a database of celebrity photos.

The celebrity comparisons are based off of multiple photos of each celebrity to give higher quality results. The results are pretty accurate from the photos I’ve uploaded of myself and friends, you can quickly see the similarities. With each photo uploaded you’ll get multiple celebrity matches, each with a percentage showing just how close that match is.

Be forewarned, don’t submit your own photo if you can’t handle the reality of finding out you don’t look like Brad Pit or Angelina Jolie.

My top three closest matches were 74% Chad Michael Murray, 68% Adam Brody, and 68% Leslie Caran.
