See the beard before you grow it.
Seventeen styles, from clean shaven to a full garibaldi, on your own face rather than a model's.

The starting photo stays beside the edit, so you can judge this tool on the same person—not a different face, pose or camera angle.
Try facial hairHow it works
Add a clear photo of your face
Front-facing. It works whether you currently have facial hair or not.
Pick a style
Stubble, boxed beard, goatee, Van Dyke, balbo, anchor, ducktail, garibaldi, circle beard, handlebar, Fu Manchu, soul patch, sideburns, moustache, chin strap, full beard, or clean shaven.
See it on you
Your face, hairstyle and skin tone stay as they are. Only the facial hair changes.
A real answer to whether it suits you
- The style rendered on your own jaw and cheekbones, not approximated on a stock face.
- Your hairstyle, skin tone and expression unchanged.
- Before and after side by side, full screen.
- Cheap enough to run through several styles before deciding.
Where this struggles
Side-on or angled photos
A style is judged on the jaw and chin, and a sharp angle hides both. Front-facing gives the honest answer.
Density is a guess
We can show the shape. Whether your own hair grows in thickly enough to fill it is something only time answers, and patchy growth is common on the cheeks.
Very long styles
A garibaldi or a long ducktail changes the silhouette below the chin, and if the photo crops there the result has nowhere to go.
Colour follows your hair
Facial hair often grows in a different shade from head hair — frequently redder or greyer. The preview matches your head hair, so treat the colour as approximate.
Uptone edits your own photo rather than generating someone who resembles you. It never scores how you look, never calls a feature a flaw, and every trait it infers stays yours to correct.
Read what Uptone will never doQuestions people ask
- Can I see myself clean shaven?
- Yes, and it is the one most worth running before a big shave. Clean shaven is one of the seventeen styles and it removes existing facial hair rather than adding any.
- Will it show what my beard would actually grow like?
- It shows the shape accurately. Density is the part it cannot know — patchy growth on the cheeks is common and only time answers it, so treat a full beard preview as the best case rather than the guaranteed one.
- Why is the colour slightly off?
- Facial hair often grows in a different shade from head hair, frequently redder or greyer. The preview matches your head hair because that is what it can see, so read the colour as approximate.
- Does it work if I already have a beard?
- Yes, in both directions. It will grow a goatee into a full beard, trim a full beard into a boxed one, or take it all off.
- Which photo works best?
- Front-facing. A style lives on the jaw and chin, and a sharp side angle hides both — you get an answer, just not the one you were looking for.
- What does it cost to try a few?
- The first is free without an account. After that each is one look from your allowance, which is deliberately cheap enough to run through several styles before deciding.
