Bob Haircut Filter

Bob haircut filter for the question every long-haired person asks: would a bob suit me? See it on your own face, and walk into the salon without the fear of a two-year mistake.

Bob haircut filter: waist-length hair to a chin bob

Drag the divider. Long straight hair past the shoulders on one side, a blunt chin-length bob with a soft side part on the other — and the same brown eyes, the same half smile, the same black top and beige wall on both. That is the test a bob haircut filter has to pass: you should recognise the person instantly and see only the cut. Picture that divider running across your own photo.

What does a bob haircut filter do?

A bob haircut filter takes one photo and recuts the hair into a bob — the length, the line at the jaw, the part and the fringe — while leaving your face and everything around it untouched. Below: two more cuts from the same source photo as the demo.

Image tool

A bob is the haircut people think about for years and do in twenty minutes. Going from hair past your shoulders to hair at your jaw takes one appointment, and getting back takes two years of growing it out. That is the whole reason a bob haircut filter exists: the chop is instant and the undo is slow, so the preview is worth more here than for almost any other cut.

This bob haircut filter runs on the Nano Banana 2 editor in the browser, and a new account starts with free credits. It rebuilds the hair rather than shading over it, so the jaw line, the weight at the ends and the gap at the neck all read like a cut that happened.

French bob, cropped with bangs

French bob, cropped with bangs

Cheekbone length, slightly tousled, with a full fringe that skims the brows. The shortest version and the one that changes a face the most — which is exactly why it is worth seeing on yours first.

Long bob, grazing the collarbones

Long bob, grazing the collarbones

The lob: a deep side part and soft waves, the front a touch longer than the back. The version to try when a chin bob feels too drastic.

How to use

Use the bob haircut filter in three steps

Your own photo, or the TikTok version: a friend's.

  1. Step 01

    Upload a front-facing photo

    Even light, face straight on, hairline visible. It does not have to be your face — the viral TikTok version of the bob haircut filter is pranking your friends with it, so a friend's photo works just as well.

    Upload a front-facing photo
  2. Step 02

    Name the bob

    Chin-length blunt bob, French bob with bangs, collarbone lob, angled bob shorter at the back, curly bob. The preset prompt already asks for a classic chin bob; change the cut, the length or the fringe to make it yours.

  3. Step 03

    Run it, then send it

    Save the one you like, or run it again with a different length. For the prank, the believable version wins: a glossy salon bob on someone who has never had long hair is funnier than any cartoon wig.

    Run it, then send it
Who it's for

Who runs a bob haircut filter

People about to make the shortest decision in hair, and people making it for their friends.

About to chop it off

Seeing a chin bob, a French bob and a lob on your own face, ten seconds apart, settles the question the mirror never could.

Pranking the group chat

The TikTok trend: run a friend's photo through a bob haircut filter, send it with no explanation, and wait. The more real the cut looks, the longer the reply takes.

Taking a reference to the salon

A bob on a model's face tells your stylist nothing about your jaw. A bob rendered on you is a brief they can cut from.

Deciding on bangs

Bangs are the half of the French bob people are unsure about. Run the same bob with and without a fringe and the answer is usually obvious.

Answers

Bob haircut filter FAQ

Common questions about trying a bob on your photo with Kavel.

Ask the photo, not the comments. Run a chin bob on your own face with the bob haircut filter above and you see the answer strangers can only guess at from a ponytail selfie — then decide before the appointment, not after.

Run both on the same photo: a bob with no fringe, then the same bob with full bangs, then bangs on your current length. Three results side by side settle it faster than any poll.

The in-between length suits some faces and looks like an accident on others, and the only way to know is to see both on yours. Run a chin bob and a collarbone lob from the same photo and compare.

Upload one clear front-facing photo to the bob haircut filter above and run the preset. You get your own face with a chin-length bob, and you can rerun it with a French bob, a lob or any other length to compare.

Yes. This page is a bob haircut filter, and the site has sibling filters for other cuts: a buzz cut, braids, dreadlocks, curly hair and a general hairstyle changer that takes any cut you describe.

Instagram's bob effects are camera lenses you search for in the effects gallery, and they sit on top of your face live. A bob haircut filter that rebuilds the hair in a still photo gives you a result you can save, compare and take to a stylist, from any photo you already have.
