The Best Photo to Use With Bob Haircut Filter

The app builds the video around your photo, so the photo's clarity sets the ceiling for how good the result looks.

Face clearly visible

A forward-facing or slightly-angled shot where the whole face is lit and unobstructed gives the model the most to work with.

Current hair down

Long hair worn down in the source photo makes the cut more dramatic and the reveal more convincing than hair that is already tied up.

Good, even light

A photo taken in soft daylight or bright indoor light beats a dark, grainy one. The model cannot add detail that the photo never captured.

FAQ

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only if you have their permission. Do not make or post a video of another person without their consent.

Fake the bob before you commit to it
