What is the Buzz Cut Filter: See Yourself With a Buzz Cut?
A buzz cut takes five minutes and months to grow back, so it is worth seeing first. The buzz cut filter shows you with one on your own photo. Upload a selfie, pick a length and press Generate: in about 15 seconds you see your real head shape under short, even hair, with your face, beard, clothes and background kept as they were.
There are five versions. The number 1 is very short, with the scalp just visible. The number 2 is the classic buzz most people mean. The number 3 to 4 is longer and softer, a good first step down from medium hair. The buzz with a skin fade adds clean faded sides and a sharp line-up, and the bleached buzz goes bright platinum. Beards and stubble stay as they are unless you ask otherwise.
Buzz cuts come back every few years, often as a lockdown-style dare, a fresh start, or a way to deal with thinning hair. A real-time filter can only paint a dark cap on your head. An image model redraws the top of the head so the hairline, the head shape and the light look right, which is the part people actually want to judge.
If you want to go all the way, the bald filter shows a fully shaved head. For other short cuts like a textured crop, a taper fade or a quiff, use the AI Hairstyle Changer.
Buzz cut lengths explained
Clipper guards are numbered by length: a number 1 leaves about 3 mm, a number 2 about 6 mm, a number 3 about 10 mm and a number 4 about 13 mm. Shorter shows more scalp and more of the head shape; longer looks softer and fuller. The presets follow those lengths so the preview matches what the clippers will do.
Buzz cut or bald?
A buzz cut keeps a visible hairline and a little colour on the head, which flatters most people. A fully shaved head is a bigger statement. Try both: this page for the buzz, and the bald filter for a clean shave.
