Beard filter

There is no beard model behind this. A dedicated beard-change endpoint 404s, so the edit is google/nano-banana-2.1/edit on fal with a prompt: add a short natural beard, and keep the face, the hair on the head, the clothes, and the background. Vendor rate $0.0336 (Google's 1K list), not your fee. "Short" means the jaw still reads through it. You should see the chin's corner, not a curtain hanging off the face. "Natural" means the density follows a jaw, not a costume-shop lace that starts in a perfect line under the eye.

Patchy growth is where the picture flatters you. The model has seen more full beards than gaps at the cheek connector, and it closes those gaps. Even coverage from sideburn to sideburn may be fuller than two months will deliver. Where the photo is bare and the result is dense, trust the edge and not the carpet.

The cheek line is the edge you can actually judge. A short beard usually stops well below the eye, around the lower cheek, in a line that is either rounded or a bit angular. Too high, and the face becomes all beard, eyes sitting on a rug. Too low, and you have a chin strap the prompt did not request. We do not give you a handle to move that line. If it lands under the eye, call the miss. If it lands in a place you would ask a barber to keep, you have an answer.

The neck line is the other edge, and selfies crop it. Hair that continues down the throat looks unfinished. Hair that stops in a hard curve too high looks drawn on. Include the neck in the photo, collar open. We ask clothes to stay, so a beard that arrives with a new shirt is a wandering edit. Do not keep the beard and ignore the shirt.

It is not the clean-shaven after picture. If you want the jaw with the beard removed, that is the No beard filter, and it wants a bearded input or the change is invisible. It is not a mustache by itself, and it is not a goatee. Those leave the cheeks bare on purpose. A goatee that grew sideways into a beard is a failure on the Goatee filter, not a success you should imitate from this page. This page is allowed to cover the cheeks. That is the definition of the short beard we asked for.

Head hair stays. A beard pass that also recedes your hairline or redesigns a haircut mixed two questions. Bald plus beard is a common combination to be curious about, and it is two passes. The Bald filter clears scalp hair. It does not draw the beard, and this page should not clear the scalp. If you need both, run them as separate photos so a bad scalp does not ruin a useful cheek line.

We ask the face underneath to stay recognizable: same nose, same lips, same ears. A beard changes the apparent length of the face even when the bone is untouched, because the eye stops at the new edge. That optical change is the point. A narrower nose or a different mouth is not. Compare those features with the beard mentally cropped. If they moved, the likeness failed.

Upload a photo that shows the cheek skin. A heavy shadow from a hat, or a hand on the chin, hides the area the beard has to occupy. If you already have a short beard and want a slightly different line, the change may be subtle. Subtle is allowed. The tool is not required to dramatize. If you are clean-shaven in the photo, the added beard is entirely invented, and the evenness warning above applies harder.

Adults. You tick "This is me and I am 18 or older." This is not a beard for a teenager and not a face you do not have the right to edit. JPEG, PNG, or WebP, under 8 MB, short edge at least 256 pixels. Empty, oversized, undersized, or unchecked files never call the model and never charge. A missing key fails without a charge.

Logged-out visitors get one watermarked look, 800 pixels on the long edge, EASYFACE diagonal, stored against IP and cookie. It does not reset daily. Signup does not add credits. HD with the watermark gone costs 1 credit on success. Failures refund that credit or spare the free proof. How to use the beard filter goes through the buttons. The other facial-hair tools are listed from Facial hair.
