How to use the pixie cut filter

  1. 1

    Upload one clear selfie

    Use a photo of just you, with your whole head in the frame and even light. JPEG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB works.

  2. 2

    Pick one of the six pixies

    Choose Classic, Long, Shaggy, Side Bangs, Undercut or Bixie. If you want a detail such as a color, type it in the optional box.

  3. 3

    Generate and download

    Your result is usually ready in under a minute, shown as a 3:4 portrait beside your original. Download it, because results are only kept for a limited time.

What this pixie haircut try-on keeps the same

The pixie cut filter replaces the haircut and leaves the rest of the photo alone.

Your face, glasses and clothes

The model is told to keep face shape, skin, expression, glasses, makeup and background, with no smoothing or slimming. Our Classic Pixie example shows a clear change of cut on the same person.

Your own hair color

The cut changes and the color doesn't, so you judge the shape on its own. To see a color as well, write it in the box, for example "platinum pixie".

Your curl pattern

In our Long Pixie test on curly hair, the shorter cut kept her curls. To ask for curls directly, add "curly pixie" in the optional box.

No app, no account

It runs in the browser on your phone or computer. HEIC photos from an iPhone are converted to JPEG before upload.

Six pixie cuts compared: where the length sits

Every pixie is short, but each keeps its length in a different place, and that decides how it frames your face.

How to tell if a pixie cut will suit you

A pixie removes the hair that usually frames your face, so read the preview for what it reveals. Look at your ears, jawline and neck: a classic or undercut pixie puts all three on show.

Next, check your forehead and brows. If a bare forehead feels like too much, the side bangs or long pixie covers part of it. If you wear glasses, see whether the frames still sit well with less hair around them.

Finally, compare the result with a photo of your current cut. If the shorter version still looks like you on a normal day, that is a better signal than any face-shape chart.

Photo tips for a pixie cut preview

Going from long hair to a pixie is a big change, so the pixie cut filter needs to see your whole head.

  • Pull long hair back or behind your shoulders so the new cut doesn't have to hide it.
  • Keep your whole head in the frame, including the top of your head and both ears.
  • Face the camera, because a strong side angle hides the sides of the cut.
  • Use even light from the front and avoid a bright window behind you.
  • Take off hats, headbands and large clips.
  • Upload a plain phone selfie without beauty filters.

What's free and what the preview can't show

One free image

Every visitor gets one free image across the whole site, with no sign-up and no credit card. There is no paid plan for more, so pick the pixie you most want to see.

Your photo

Your photo is only used to create your images and is never used to train AI models. Anything you type in the description box is added to your request to the AI model.

A front view only

You see the cut from the front, so the nape and the back aren't shown. It's an AI preview, and a stylist may not match it exactly.

Frequently asked questions

Upload a front-facing selfie here, choose one of the six pixies and generate. The pixie cut filter returns your own photo with a new cut, usually in under a minute. It is an AI edit, so compare it with your original.

Yes. The examples above are real results: a Classic Pixie on a woman in her 40s and a Long Pixie on curly hair. The table above describes all six cuts you can choose from.

See it on your own face before deciding. Check what the short cut reveals, such as your ears, jaw, neck and forehead. A stylist can then tell you how your hair texture will behave at that length.

You don't need an app for this one. Our pixie cut filter works in any phone or desktop browser, with nothing to install and no account to create.

Not unless you ask. It is told to keep your current color so you judge only the cut. To see a new color too, type it in the optional box, such as "platinum pixie" or "copper pixie".

Yes. In our test on curly hair, the Long Pixie kept her curls instead of straightening them. For a tighter curly look, add "curly pixie" in the box.

No. Each visitor gets one free image across the whole site, so decide first. The Classic Pixie shows the full change, while the Bixie or Long Pixie shows a gentler step.

Yes. Download it and bring it to your appointment as a reference for the shape. Treat it as a guide rather than a promise of the exact cut.
