Add a Scar to a Face Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your photo

   Upload a clear, well-lit face photo. A straight-on or slight angle shot works best. Good lighting helps the AI blend the scar realistically into the skin texture. Avoid heavy filters or extreme lighting that would make the scar look obviously added.

   Expect: Upload takes under 5 seconds. The clearer the skin, the more convincing the scar.

   Describe the scar

   Type exactly what kind of scar you want and where it goes. Include the type (slash, burn, stitch marks), location (cheek, jaw, across the eye, lip), size, and how healed it looks. Old healed scars look pale and raised. Fresh scars are pink and raw.

   Tip: Old healed scars look the most dramatic in photos because they contrast against the skin tone. A pale raised scar across the cheek or from the lip to the jaw gives a strong villain aesthetic. For prank use, a clearly healed scar implies a backstory.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Classic villain slash scar Add a dramatic healed slash scar running diagonally from the left cheekbone down to the corner of the jaw. The scar should be pale, slightly raised, and clearly old — no redness, just pale scar tissue against the skin.

   Lip-to-cheek scar Add a healed scar that runs from the corner of the upper lip up to the cheekbone, like an old knife wound. Pale pink, raised scar tissue, clearly years old. Make it look like it changed the shape of the lip slightly.

   Through-the-eyebrow scar Add a thin healed scar cutting vertically through the left eyebrow, about 1.5 inches long. The scar should interrupt the eyebrow hair, leaving a small gap, and be pale against the skin.

   Burn scar on the cheek Add a burn scar on the right cheek covering an area about 2 inches wide. The skin should look slightly discolored and smoother than normal skin — the texture of healed burn tissue. Not raw, just clearly different from the surrounding skin.

   Stitches scar — fresh Add a fresh-looking sutured cut on the forehead, about 2 inches long, with visible stitch marks on either side of a closed wound. Pink, swollen edges, clearly a medical closure from the last few days.

   Under-eye scar Add a small healed scar under the right eye, about an inch long, running horizontally. Pale and raised, clearly an old cut that healed without perfect smoothness.

   Copy Try This →

   Full jaw scar Add a long healed scar running from the left ear down the entire jaw to the chin. Pale pink, raised, clearly an old injury that healed over years. The scar should follow the jawline naturally.

   Download the edited photo and drop it on someone with no explanation, or go with "so I have something to tell you about last week." Works great on anyone who'd be alarmed by a permanent facial change. Also great as a profile photo update with zero context.
