How to use Add Beard To Photo Tool

Steps to get you started in BasedLabs.

Step 1: Upload Your Clean-Shaven Photo

Step 1

Upload Your Clean-Shaven Photo

Select a clear face photo

Choose a high-resolution image where your face is clearly visible and well-lit. The AI performs best with front-facing or slightly angled portraits where the jawline and cheeks are unobstructed. Pro tip: Photos taken in natural daylight with minimal shadows produce the most realistic beard integration, as the AI can accurately detect skin texture and existing light sources.

Step 2: Select Beard Style and Customize Parameters

Step 2

Select Beard Style and Customize Parameters

Choose from 20+ beard variations

Pick your desired beard style from options including full beards, designer stubble, goatees, or mustache combinations. Adjust density sliders to control thickness (sparse to full coverage), length settings for short cropped to long flowing styles, and color tone if you want to simulate graying or different hair colors. The preview updates in real-time showing how each style conforms to your unique facial structure.

Step 3: Generate and Download Enhanced Portrait

AI renders in 15-30 seconds

Click generate to process your image with facial hair synthesis that includes natural hair texture, directional growth patterns, and integrated shadowing. Download your result in original resolution up to 4K quality, with options to save multiple beard style variations. Use the refinement tools to adjust beard edges, blend intensity, or modify specific areas like sideburn connection or neckline definition for perfect results.

Adaptive Facial Geometry Mapping

Unlike simple overlay filters, our AI creates a 3D mesh of your facial structure to map beard placement along your actual jaw contour, cheek angles, and chin projection. This ensures the facial hair follows natural growth patterns specific to your bone structure, with proper density variation from cheek to neck and realistic edge transitions that account for individual facial features like dimples or scars.

Multi-Angle Consistency Engine

Advanced perspective detection allows accurate beard addition to profile shots, three-quarter angles, and tilted head positions with up to 45-degree rotation. The system calculates proper hair direction vectors and visibility occlusion, so beards appear correctly wrapped around the face rather than flat, including appropriate shadowing on the neck and under-chin areas based on head position.

Texture-Matched Hair Synthesis

Generate beards with visible individual hair strands that match your natural hair texture characteristics, including curl pattern, thickness variation, and growth direction randomization. The AI analyzes your existing hair (eyebrows, head hair if visible) to replicate similar properties in the beard, creating authentic-looking results with proper light reflection, color variation between hairs, and natural density clustering rather than uniform coverage.
