How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for beard editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple beard styles: 30-40 seconds. Detailed or styled beards: 40-50 seconds and may need refinements.

  2. Describe the beard you want

    Type what you want: 'add a full thick dark beard' or 'give this person neat trimmed stubble.' Be specific about style, length, and color. No marking needed—the AI knows what 'beard' means and places it correctly on the face.

    Tip: Specify beard color if it should differ from head hair: 'dark brown beard' or 'salt and pepper beard.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Full thick beard add a full thick dark beard, well-groomed with natural texture and density
    Try This →
    5 o'clock shadow stubble add neat stubble across the jawline and chin, 5 o'clock shadow look
    Try This →
    Goatee only add a neat trimmed goatee on the chin and mustache area, no hair on the cheeks
    Try This →
    Long flowing beard add a long full beard reaching below the chin, natural and slightly wavy
    Try This →
    3 more prompts
    Mustache with stubble add a thick well-groomed mustache with light stubble on the chin and jawline
    Try This →
    Salt and pepper beard add a full beard with salt and pepper coloring, mix of dark and grey hairs throughout
    Try This →
    Van Dyke style add a Van Dyke beard - connected mustache and goatee with clean-shaven cheeks
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Check that the beard follows the jawline naturally and matches the lighting in the photo. Look for realistic hair texture, proper density, and natural edges where beard meets skin.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the beard shape, density, or edges need adjustment around the cheeks or neckline, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Most beard additions work well on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

"Wanted to see if a beard would work for my face shape before growing one for three months. Tried a full beard, goatee, and stubble in under a minute. The full beard won." @BeardPreview_Alex

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Home & Interior Design

Preview how beard would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing beard in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show beard in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of beard in renovation plans

Best Practices

  • Upload a well-lit, straight-on photo of the room for the most realistic result
  • Specify the size and position — e.g., 'add a large beard on the left wall'
  • Match the room's lighting in your prompt: 'warm lighting' for evening shots, 'natural daylight' for window-lit rooms
📷

Creative & Social Content

Use beard to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding beard to photos for unique social media posts that stand out in feeds
  • Creating fantasy or composite images that incorporate beard for art projects
  • Making holiday or themed content by placing beard in seasonal photos

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic beard' vs. 'illustrated beard' gives very different results
  • Use reference images when you want the AI to match a particular look
  • For social content, try unusual placements that create a surreal or humorous effect
📷

Professional & Marketing Use

Incorporate beard into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding beard to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show beard in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature beard in different settings

Best Practices

  • Use high-resolution source images — marketing materials demand sharp details
  • Keep brand guidelines in mind: specify colors and style that match when adding beard
  • Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. It may have altered other facial features along with adding the beard.

Try: Tap a marker on the chin and jawline area, then regenerate: add a beard here only, keep face and features unchanged
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when the AI makes unwanted changes to other features.

Beard color doesn't match my hair or looks unnatural

Why: Without specific color guidance, the AI guesses the beard color, which may not match your head hair or skin tone.

Try: add a [specific color] beard that matches the hair color on the head naturally
Try This →

Tip: Always specify beard color if your head hair is visible. 'Matching' gives the AI a clear reference.

Beard placement or shape doesn't follow the jawline

Why: Unusual face angles or strong shadows can make it harder for the AI to map the beard area accurately.

Try: add a beard that follows the natural jawline and chin contour, shaped to the face
Try This →

Tip: Front-facing photos with even lighting produce the most natural beard placement.

Beard looks too uniform or painted on

Why: The AI generated a flat texture without the individual hair variation that makes beards look real.

Try: add a beard with realistic individual hair texture, natural variation in density and direction
Try This →

Tip: 'Individual hair texture' and 'variation in density' push the AI toward photorealistic results.

Beard extends too far or not far enough

Why: Without clear boundaries, the AI may place the beard too high on cheeks or too low on the neck.

Try: add a beard with a clean cheekline at mid-cheek and a trimmed neckline just above the Adam's apple
Try This →

Tip: Specifying cheekline and neckline boundaries gives the AI precise beard shape parameters.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where the beard should go before describing it?

No! Just type 'add a full beard' and the AI places it correctly on the face automatically. It understands facial anatomy and beard placement. Only use markers if you want a very specific placement that the AI isn't getting right from description alone.

How do I add a beard to my photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type a beard instruction like 'add a full thick beard.' The AI generates a realistic beard in 30-40 seconds that matches your face shape. Free to use, no account required, no watermarks on the result.

Is there a free AI beard generator that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic adds beards to photos for free with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe the beard style, and download the result. No watermarks. Works for stubble, goatees, full beards, and any other style.

What's the best free tool to see how I'd look with a beard?
