How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose any photo where you want to add a hat. Works best with portraits, selfies, or photos where the person's head is clearly visible. The AI handles different hair styles, head angles, and lighting conditions automatically.

    Expect: Simple uploads: 2-3 seconds. Large files or slow connections: 5-8 seconds.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type the hat style you want in plain English—'add a black baseball cap,' 'put a red winter beanie on the person,' or 'add a brown fedora hat.' Be specific about color, style, and any details like logos or patterns. The AI automatically positions the hat correctly and matches the lighting.

    Tip: Include the color and specific hat type (baseball cap, beanie, fedora, cowboy hat) for best results.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Casual baseball cap Add a black baseball cap to the person, positioned naturally forward-facing
    Winter beanie Put a red knit beanie on the person's head, covering the top of the ears
    Classic fedora Add a brown fedora hat with a black band, tilted slightly to the right side
    Sun hat for outdoor photos Add a wide-brim white sun hat, casting a natural shadow on the face
    3 more prompts
    Cowboy hat Add a tan cowboy hat with a leather band, positioned like a traditional western hat
    Branded sports cap Add a navy blue baseball cap with a Yankees logo on the front, worn forward
    Vintage style hat Add a 1920s style cloche hat in burgundy velvet, fitted snugly to the head
  3. Review the result

    Check that the hat looks natural—proper size, correct angle, matching shadows, and appropriate placement on the head. Make sure it fits the head shape and doesn't cover too much or too little. If the style or position isn't right, adjust your prompt and regenerate.
