# Beard filter: try a beard, stubble or goatee on your photo

> This AI beard filter adds facial hair to your own photo: choose a full beard, short stubble, a goatee, a boxed beard or a mustache, or ask for a clean shave, and the model draws it to match your hair color, skin and the light in the photo. It edits an uploaded selfie rather than a live camera, costs 20 credits per Preview image or 45 per Detail image, and keeps your face, hairstyle and clothes. Registration is free; images use purchased credits.

Growing a beard takes weeks and an awkward in-between stage. Upload a selfie and see a full beard, designer stubble or a goatee on your own face first.

## What the beard filter can show you

- **Every beard length**: From a light five-o'clock shadow to a long full beard; say the length in plain words such as “short”, “a few weeks of growth” or “fist-length”.
- **Shapes and lines**: Goatee, anchor, chin strap, boxed beard or a mustache alone, with low or high cheek lines and a sharp or natural neckline.
- **Color that matches**: The brief asks for facial hair in your own hair color unless you name another, such as salt-and-pepper or a fully gray beard.
- **Or a clean shave**: Already bearded? Ask for a clean-shaven face to see your jawline again before you reach for the razor.

## How to use the beard filter

1. **Upload a front-facing selfie**: A clear view of your jaw, chin and upper lip gives the model room for the beard. Move any hair that covers the jaw.
2. **Pick a beard style**: Tap a style or describe length, shape and color. Add “same hairstyle” so only your facial hair changes.
3. **Compare and decide**: Generate two or three styles, compare them side by side and download the one you want to grow.

## An AI beard filter versus a camera filter

Live camera filters in social apps lay a beard texture over your face in real time. They are quick, but they move as an overlay. This beard filter instead redraws a single photo, so the AI beard is shaded to match the light, your skin and your hair.

Because it works on a still photo, it suits decisions better than videos: compare styles, show your barber, or see how a gray beard might look.


## Choosing a beard style

A few rules of thumb barbers often use:

- A round face often looks longer with a beard fuller at the chin and shorter on the cheeks
- A long face often looks balanced with fuller sides and a shorter chin
- Patchy growth reads better as short stubble or a goatee than as a long full beard
- A defined neckline a finger or two above the Adam's apple keeps any beard neat
- A fuller beard balances a very short haircut or a shaved head
- Gray in the beard can look intentional when it is trimmed evenly

## What the filter cannot predict

The image shows a style, not your actual growth. Density, patches, color and growth speed are set by genetics, and a picture cannot tell you whether your beard will fill in. Treat the result as a target to discuss with your barber.

## Beard filter FAQ

### Is there a free beard filter here?

Registration is free, but every beard image uses purchased credits: 20 with Preview or 45 with Detail. Live camera beard filters in social apps are a different kind of tool: overlays, not edited photos.

### Can I try a beard if I cannot grow one yet?

Yes. The filter draws a beard on any adult face in a clear photo. It shows how a style would look, not whether your own hair will grow that way.

### Will it change my hairstyle?

It should not. Add “same hairstyle” to your request; the brief already keeps your face, clothes and background. If the hair on your head shifts, run again or switch to Detail.

### Can I remove my beard instead?

Yes. Ask for a clean-shaven face, or for a shorter version of your current beard, to see your jaw and chin again.

### Does it work on videos?

No. It edits one uploaded photo at a time and returns an image. It is not a live camera filter, so you cannot use it in a video call or a story recording.
