What is a bald filter?

A bald filter removes the hair in your own photo and redraws a smooth, natural scalp, so you can see what you'd look like bald. Kenerate AI opens its image editor with the bald instruction filled in; you add a clear photo, and the model keeps your face, eyebrows, any beard and the background the same.

Tips

Get a believable bald preview

What makes the preview look natural.

  • Use a photo where your whole head and ears are visible.

  • Keep “keep my eyebrows and beard” so only the scalp hair goes.

  • Try “receding hairline” or “thinning crown” for a gradual look.

  • A plain background gives a cleaner head outline.

  • Run it twice and keep the more natural scalp.

  • Thinking of a buzz cut instead? Try the buzz cut filter.

FAQ

Bald Filter questions

What would I look like bald?

Upload a clear photo of yourself to the bald filter and press Create to find out. Kenerate AI fills in the instruction, a smooth clean-shaven head with the same face, eyebrows, beard and background, and the image model redraws your scalp where the hair was. Use a front-facing photo with your ears visible, because the model follows your head shape from the picture.

Is the bald filter free?

Yes, to start. A new Kenerate account gets free starter credits, which work on free-plan models such as Qwen Image 3.0, the default here. Seedream 5.0 Pro and Nano Banana 2 need a one-time credit pack rather than a subscription, and credits you buy never expire. Results download without a watermark.

Link to this answer

Can the bald filter show a receding hairline instead?

Yes. Change the prompt before you press Create, for example “give me a receding hairline” or “thinning hair on the crown”, and keep the line about your face and background. Each run edits your original photo, so you can compare fully bald, receding and thinning versions side by side before you decide anything.

Link to this answer

Will it keep my beard and eyebrows?

It should, because the preset asks for that in words: keep my face, eyebrows, any beard, clothing and background exactly the same. Instruction-based editors change only what you name. If a run thins your brows or beard, run it again or add “do not change the eyebrows or facial hair” to the prompt.

Can I use someone else's photo?

Only with their permission. A bald preview still edits a real person's likeness, so use your own photo or one the person has agreed to, and share the result only with their consent. Never upload a photo of anyone under 18; the filter is for adults editing their own pictures. Kenerate's content rules apply to every edit.

Bald Filter, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.

How the bald filter works

The bald filter is an instruction edit. Your photo and one sentence go to an image model's edit endpoint; the model removes the hair it can see, paints a scalp that matches your skin tone and lighting, and leaves the rest of the photo alone.
