How do I use the black hair filter online?

Upload a portrait with the full hairstyle visible, apply the black hair filter, then compare the generated result with the original before downloading.

Is the black hair filter free?

You can try PicTools.AI with a limited free allowance. Continue in the app to check the allowance available to your account. More edits require a credit pack or subscription.

Can I see what I would look like with black hair?

The filter creates one AI-generated black-haired version of your portrait. It can help you explore the overall contrast, but the shade and details vary with the source photo.

Can I choose jet black or another black shade?

No. This preset generates one interpretation of black hair and does not include a shade picker or intensity control.

Can it predict the result of black hair dye?

No. Hair condition, porosity, previous colour and the dye process affect a real result. Use the image as style inspiration rather than an exact salon preview.

Does the black hair filter change anything else?

The intended change is hair colour, but AI generation can also alter hair texture, facial details, lighting or the background. Check the whole image before using it.

What photos work best with the black hair filter?

Use an evenly lit portrait with the full hairline and ends visible. Avoid hats, hands over the hair and backgrounds that blend into the hairstyle.

More than a one-tap filter

Filters give you a look in one tap. When you want full control, open the AI Image Editor and change anything by typing — remove objects, swap backgrounds, retouch and upscale. Editing a portrait or an old picture? The AI Photo Editor is tuned for exactly that. You only pay for what you use — credits never expire, no subscription.
