Bald Filter Online

The bald filter on Viralkey is a studio edit that removes head hair from a portrait so you can preview a shaved look on the same face. You upload one source photo, choose a look such as Clean shaved or Buzz cut, and receive an image that keeps pose, clothing, background and lighting from the original. It is a hair-only preview for decision-making and creative stills — not a face swap and not a brand-new person generated from scratch.

You pick one look — Clean shaved, Buzz cut, Shaved with stubble or Bald with beard — and that single choice is the whole control surface. An optional description lets you call out details to preserve, like keeping an existing beard while the scalp goes bare. There is no render-style setting: the result always comes back in your source photo's own visual language, and no reference images are needed.

Upload a clear portrait, choose your look, add a short note if needed, then generate. Open the result in your asset library next to the original, download what you want to keep, and rerun the same photo with a different look when you want a second comparison before you decide.

Yes. Each run is a Viralkey Studio generation and spends credits from your balance. A limited free tier lets you try the tool before you add more credits; the exact spend per run is shown in-product before you confirm, so you always see the cost in credits rather than guessing.

Long, tied or braided hair is supported, and it is the case worth testing carefully. Removing that volume means rebuilding the silhouette, ears and neckline that were hidden underneath, so start with a sharp, evenly lit source where the face is unobstructed for the cleanest reconstruction.

Yes. Choose Bald with beard, or say so in the description if you want a specific finish. Facial hair is handled separately from head hair, so you can preview a bare scalp without losing the beard, stubble or mustache you already like on that same portrait.

Use a clear, well-lit portrait where the face is visible and mostly unobstructed. Front-facing or three-quarter angles work best. Avoid heavy beauty filters, hats, and hair covering the face in the source — those details make scalp texture and head shape harder to reconstruct cleanly.

Only upload photos you have the right to edit. Do not use the tool for identity fraud, harassment, or to embarrass anyone. Edits involving minors are out of scope. If you do not have permission to change the image, do not run it through the studio.

Finished images are saved to your Viralkey asset library, where you can open them beside the source photo, download a copy, and keep multiple looks from the same upload. Nothing requires a second reference file — one source portrait is enough for each run.
