BeforeAfterHow to use the bald filter
- Upload a clear photo. A front-facing photo of one person works best. You can also take one with your camera.
- Pick a look. Clean bald removes every hair for a smooth, freshly shaved scalp. Shaved with stubble keeps a very short, even layer of your own hair, like a number 0 or 1 clipper cut.
- Generate and compare. Your bald look appears in about 20 seconds. Drag the slider to compare it with your current hair, then download it or try the other look.
What the bald filter changes, and what it keeps
A good bald filter only touches your hair. Everything that makes the photo yours stays put.
What changes
- All the hair on your head. Long hair, curls, bangs and ponytails are removed completely, including strands behind the ears and on the shoulders.
- Your scalp. The bald filter draws your real head shape, with skin that matches your face, natural shine and pores.
- The hairline, for Shaved with stubble: the short hair follows your own hairline and colour.
What stays the same
- Your eyes, nose, mouth, ears and expression.
- Your beard, moustache and eyebrows. The bald filter does not shave your face.
- Your skin tone, freckles and lines. There is no smoothing or makeup.
- Your clothes, glasses, background and lighting.
Best photos for a bald filter
The more of your head the AI can see, the more believable the scalp looks.
- Face the camera. A straight-on photo shows the real width of your head.
- Show your forehead and ears. Pull hair back or use a photo where it is not covering your face.
- No hat, hood or headband. The bald filter can't guess what is under them.
- Even daylight. Strong overhead light can make the scalp look patchy.
- A recent, unfiltered photo. Beauty filters and face slimming confuse the result.
| Photo | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Front selfie, hair off the face | Very natural, easy to judge |
| Long hair over the shoulders | Works well; hair is removed fully |
| Hat, hood or a turned head | Head shape is a guess; try another photo |
Should you shave your head? Try the bald filter first
Shaving is quick, but growing hair back takes months. A bald filter lets you see the result before you pick up the clippers. Look at three things:
- Head shape. Some heads are rounder, flatter or more uneven than people expect. The bald filter shows yours.
- Ears and jaw. Without hair, your ears and jawline become the frame of your face. Many people with a strong jaw or a beard like the balance it gives.
- Clean bald or stubble. Stubble softens the look and hides small bumps. Clean bald looks bolder and needs shaving every day or two. Try both looks with the bald filter and compare them side by side before you decide.
If you are thinking about it because your hair is thinning, seeing the result can make the choice much easier. Many men who shave their heads say they wish they had done it sooner.
Preparing for hair loss
Some people use a bald filter for a harder reason: chemotherapy, alopecia or another condition that causes hair loss. Seeing yourself without hair in advance can make the change feel less sudden, and it can help children or partners get used to the idea too.
Every bald filter result is private to your account and is never shown to anyone else. You can delete a result whenever you like. If you are going through treatment, your care team and patient groups can help with wigs, scalp care and support.
Privacy and safety
- Your upload is deleted as soon as your image is done. We don't keep it in our database or use it to train AI models.
- Results stay in your account for 30 days, and you can delete them at any time.
- Adults only. Photos must be of you or of an adult who agreed to it. Illustrations must be your own original character, not one from an existing franchise. Photos of children are blocked, and so are illustrated characters who are clearly young children. Art styles such as chibi are fine; nude or sexual artwork is always refused.
- No sexual content. Nude or sexual photos and artwork are rejected.
- A visual preview, not a prediction. Results show one possible look, made by AI.

No. The bald filter only changes the hair on your head. Your beard, moustache and eyebrows stay as they are.
Does the bald filter work on women and long hair?
Yes. The bald filter removes long hair completely, including hair falling over the shoulders.
Why does my scalp look strange?
Usually a hat, hair over the forehead or a strong shadow is hiding the top of your head. Try a straight-on photo in daylight. If a generation fails, your credits come back automatically.
Can I see a buzz cut instead?
Shaved with stubble shows a very close buzz. It does not offer longer buzz cuts.
