How to use the short hair filter
Short hair filter is the tool these steps use.


You get a short cut that still has hair: around the ear or the chin, off the neck, not a buzz. Neckline and sideburns are why the photo has to show more than a front-camera oval. These are the steps.
Open the look
Open Short hair filter. The outcome is already selected.
Add your photo
Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Tick “This is me and I am 18 or older.”
Press See this look
The button reads Waiting Ns while the image is made. A bad file stops before any charge.
Download
Download preview saves the watermark. Get the HD, no watermark buys the clean file of this result.
Open the tool
Use the Short hair filter. The buzz tool is a different enum. If you open this page and the sample is clipper-short to the skin, the screenshot is stale or you followed the wrong link. Short, here, still covers the scalp.
Check the sample
/looks/hairstyles/short-hair/short-hair-help-desktop.webp shows the working short-hair tool on a wide screen: sample adult with ends above the ear, neck visible, upload field, checkbox, See this look. /looks/hairstyles/short-hair/short-hair-help-mobile.webp is the 390-pixel-wide stack, sample first, so the neckline in the sample is visible before the buttons. Treat both as pictures of the UI, taken from the working page, not as the cut the model owes you.
Upload
JPEG, PNG, or WebP. HEIC converts in the browser to JPEG before upload. Cap the file at 8 MB. Short edge 256 pixels minimum. Wear the hair down. A bun hides density, and the model then builds a helmet of even thickness. Collar down if you care about the nape. Sideburns should be visible so you can tell later whether they were rubbed up into the temple.
Confirm and run
Tick "This is me and I am 18 or older." See this look is the run. Waiting Ns is seconds on the clock, not a choice between chin length and ear length. There is no such choice. Waiting 7s and a longer wait are the same hold. A second click does not pin the ends at the jaw.
Read the preview
One free watermarked preview exists for logged-out visitors across all looks. Long edge 800 pixels. EASYFACE on the diagonal. IP and cookie remember it. Tomorrow does not reset the counter. Download preview saves the marked image. Check three things: scalp still covered, sideburn still an ending, neckline not drawn with a ruler under a shirt that changed. Try another photo replaces the source. It is not a free retry token.
Save the HD
The clean HD is 1 credit. Get the HD, no watermark opens the $14.99 pack of 80 credits. Other packs and the monthly credits are on Pricing. If generation fails, there is no charge: credits are refunded, and photos are deleted from private storage on the schedule in How photos are handled. Download is only for the unmarked file after it exists.
When it fails
Rejected uploads, including a missing checkbox, never reach the model and do not use the preview. A missing key fails without a charge. If the finished picture shows clipper shadow, the short-hair request slipped. If the jawbone itself got narrower, the likeness slipped with it. Retry from a side-inclusive photo with the hair down, not from a zoomed face that forced the nape to be invented.
What short means here
Short means off the shoulders and above the collar. It is not a buzz, and it is not a pixie you can name. The hair-change model has one short-hair value, and that value is the whole instruction. Bangs are not added unless the source already had them. A clipper cut with scalp showing is the buzz cut filter. Color on hair you want to keep long belongs on a color page, which will not shorten it. If the finished picture shows skin through the sides, the request slipped toward a buzz.
