Try this styleA blunt chestnut bob ends at the jaw while keeping the original center part.
What Would I Look Like with Short Hair?
Start with one clear photo and compare a few short silhouettes. A chin-length bob frames the jaw differently from an ear-skimming pixie. Keep the original color and light for the first comparison, then inspect the face, hairline and newly exposed neck. A generated preview explores a look; it cannot predict how your real hair will behave after a cut.

How to see yourself with short hair
See what you would look like with short hair. Compare bobs and pixie cuts on the same photo, keeping your original color, face and lighting.
Step 1. Upload your person photo
Use one clear JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB. Include the whole head and hair outline with even light; avoid hats or a tight crop.
Step 2. Choose a short haircut
Choose one of eight image templates, upload a reference or describe the cut in Edit instructions. Templates start unselected and can be removed. Template and upload are alternatives; at least one active style, reference or written direction is needed.
Step 3. Generate and compare
Check the displayed credits, then generate one image. Compare the cut, color, face and scene at full size. Re-edit restores the original inputs. Loading an example only fills the form and does not generate or spend credits.
Step 4. Compare and download
Compare the whole hair outline, jaw-level ends, nape, original color, hairline and face. Keep the same source for each attempt and download a preview whose changes you can describe.
Choose a short silhouette to compare
Change the cut first while holding color and lighting constant. Add a styling preference once the length is clear.

What to check in a short hair preview
Use the same original for every attempt. Compare the haircut separately from color, makeup, lighting and styling.
CheckWhat to reviewNext attempt

Check the sides, nape, ears and shoulders for leftover long locks.
Ask for the whole cut to end at the target length, including the back.
Color and hairline
Compare original color, gray strands and the visible anatomical hairline.
Keep my original color and hairline; use only the reference haircut.
Face and accessories
Check face shape, expression, skin texture, glasses and clothes.
Start from the original and name the details to keep.
Newly visible areas
Long hair may hide ears, neck, collar and background. These areas must be inferred.
Treat reconstructed details as a concept, not a view of hidden anatomy.

Short hair filter questions
What would I look like with short hair?
Try a few silhouettes on the same clear portrait. Compare jaw-length bobs with shorter pixies while holding color and lighting constant. The preview helps you explore an appearance; it does not decide which haircut suits you.
Do I need to choose a template?
No. Upload a haircut reference or describe the short style in Edit instructions. You need a person photo and at least one active template, reference or written direction.
Are templates real image references?
Yes. The active template or uploaded reference is sent with your original photo. It guides the cut’s shape, length, layers and texture. Template and uploaded reference are alternatives, and Re-edit restores the original settings.
Will the filter change my hair color or face?
The instruction preserves your original hair color, gray strands, visible hairline, face and scene. A reference with another color does not request recoloring. An explicit hair-color instruction can override the default. Check the result because generated details may drift.
Can I use a group photo or a man’s photo?
Yes. The cut is adapted to the source person. For groups, identify one person in your instructions; other people should stay unchanged. If the target has no visible scalp hair, the default request keeps the original rather than inventing hair.
Does it predict my real haircut or recover hidden ears?
No. Hair covering the ears, neck or collar hides information that must be plausibly reconstructed. A photo cannot establish how your own hair will fall, grow or react to styling. Use the preview as a visual discussion aid.
Is the short hair filter free?
Generating requires a LumiYing account and uses the credits shown before Generate. Selecting a template and loading an example do not spend credits. See pricing for current plans.
