How it works

Upload your photo

Drop any photo into EditThisPic — a selfie, a group photo, or a photo of your unsuspecting friend. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. The clearer the shot of the person's head, the more realistic the result.

Expect: Upload takes a few seconds. The AI starts processing immediately.
Describe the bald look you want

Type what you want: 'Remove all hair and make this person completely bald — clean shaved head, natural skin tone, realistic.' You can get specific: ask for a shiny dome, stubble shadow, or a buzz cut instead of fully bald. The AI reads plain English.

Tip: Use a front-facing photo where the forehead and hairline are clearly visible. Tight angles or hats can confuse the AI about where the hair ends.

Copy one of these to get started:

Classic clean dome prank Remove all hair and make this person completely bald — clean shaved head, natural skin tone that matches their face, realistic scalp texture. Keep everything else exactly the same
Try This →

Shiny bald with a confident glow Make this person completely bald with a smooth, slightly shiny scalp — like they've been waxing it for years. Natural lighting, confident look, no hair at all
Try This →

Bald with five o'clock shadow stubble Remove all hair and give this person a freshly shaved head with a shadow of stubble still visible on the scalp — like they shaved this morning. Realistic, natural look
Try This →

Receding hairline upgrade (halfway there) Give this person a severe receding hairline — hair only at the sides and very back, completely bare on top. Realistic, not cartoonish. Natural skin tone
Try This →

3 more prompts

Buzz cut (not quite bald) Give this person an extremely short buzz cut — number 1 guard length all around, natural hairline, even coverage. Not fully bald but very close
Try This →

Bald but keep the beard Remove all hair on top and make this person completely bald, but keep the beard exactly as it is. Clean shaved dome, full beard below. Natural skin tone
Try This →

Group photo — bald just one person In this group photo, make only the person on the left completely bald — remove all their hair with a clean shaved head. Leave everyone else exactly as they are

Download the bald photo and drop it into your group chat. Bonus points if the person has a very distinctive hairstyle — the contrast makes the reaction louder.

Bald Filter — Clean Shaved Head

A photo of a man with a full head of hair edited with the AI bald filter. The AI removed the hair and reconstructed a natural-looking scalp matching his skin tone.

Prompt:

Remove all hair and make this person completely bald — clean shaved head, natural skin tone that matches their face, realistic scalp texture. Keep everything else exactly the same

Try This →

Person with hair before bald filter applied — Before

Same person after AI bald filter with stubble shadow effect — After

Bald Filter — Stubble Shadow Look

The same bald filter applied with a stubble shadow for added realism. The AI added faint dark shadow on the scalp to simulate a freshly shaved head rather than a completely smooth dome.

Prompt:

Remove all hair and give this person a freshly shaved head with a shadow of stubble still visible on the scalp — like they shaved this morning. Realistic, natural look

If something looks off

Hair at the sides or back wasn't fully removed

Why: The AI may have treated some hair as part of a beard or sideburn area rather than head hair to remove.

Try:

Remove all remaining hair including sides and back — I want completely bald, no hair anywhere on the head or neck. Keep the face untouched

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'including sides and back' in your prompt prevents the AI from leaving a fringe or horseshoe pattern

The scalp looks blurry or has an unusual texture

Why: The AI filled in the removed hair area but the texture doesn't match the rest of the skin.

Try:

Tap markers on the scalp area and regenerate: smooth the scalp texture to match the natural skin tone of the forehead and face — realistic, not plastic-looking

Try This →

Tip: Use markers to target just the scalp area for refinement rather than re-running the full edit

The lighting on the scalp doesn't match the face

Why: When hair is removed, the AI sometimes fills with different light direction than the original photo.

Try:

Fix the lighting on the bald scalp to match the face — the light source comes from the same direction as the rest of the photo

Try This →

Tip: Mention the light direction if you know it: 'light from the upper right' helps the AI match the existing illumination

The result looks too artificial or cartoon-like

Why: The AI may have used an overly smooth fill without skin texture.

Try:

Make the bald head look more realistic — add natural skin texture and pores to the scalp, subtle imperfections, not perfectly smooth

Try This →

Tip: Asking for 'natural skin texture' or 'pores visible' significantly improves photorealism

The AI changed the face or eyebrows too

Why: Without a specific instruction to leave the face alone, the AI may adjust more than the hair.

Try:

Only remove the hair on top — keep the face, eyebrows, beard, and background completely unchanged. Just the head hair should be gone

Try This →

Tip: Always include 'keep everything else the same' when you want a precise, isolated edit

Quick answers

Do I need to select or mark the hair before applying the bald filter?

No. Just describe what you want and the AI finds the hair on its own. If the result misses any hair at the sides or back, you can add a marker there and regenerate — but most photos don't need it.

Is the bald filter free?

Yes. EditThisPic gives you one free edit per week with no account required. If you want more edits, credit packs start at $1.99.

Will the bald filter look realistic enough to fool someone?

Usually yes, especially with a front-facing photo and good lighting. The AI reconstructs the scalp rather than just erasing hair, so the skin tone and lighting match the face. Fuzzy or low-res source photos produce less convincing results.

How is this different from apps like BaldBooth or Fotor's bald filter?

Apps like BaldBooth apply a preset bald texture that looks the same on every face. EditThisPic uses AI that reads the specific person in your photo and generates a scalp matching their actual skin tone, head shape, and lighting — not a one-size-fits-all overlay.

Can I apply the bald filter to someone else's photo for a prank?

Yes — upload any photo and describe what you want. Works on selfies, photos of friends, old family photos, or group shots. Specify which person to target if there are multiple people in the frame.

Does the photo stay private?

EditThisPic processes photos to generate your edit and does not share or sell them. You can read the full privacy policy at editthispic.com/privacy.

Can I get partially bald instead of fully bald?

Yes. You can ask for a receding hairline, a buzz cut, a horseshoe pattern, or any degree of hair loss. Just describe it — 'severe receding hairline, hair only at the sides and back' works as well as 'completely bald.'

What kind of photo gives the best bald filter result?

A front-facing photo with clear visibility of the forehead and hairline, good lighting, and no hat or hood. Side angles work but can cause the AI to miss parts of the hairline. The sharper the original photo, the more convincing the result.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
