Buzz Cut Filter API
Let users preview a buzz cut in a single API call. Generative AI reconstructs hair and lighting for a photorealistic result across any face shape or texture, built for grooming, beauty, and salon apps.
How to Use the Buzz Cut Filter API in 3 Steps
Go from photo to a photorealistic buzz cut preview in seconds with a simple, developer-friendly flow.
Send a clear, forward-facing photo to the API as the input image for processing.
Pass the buzz cut style_id in your POST request to trigger the generative AI rendering engine.
Get back a high-resolution image URL showing the buzz cut result, ready to display in your app.
What Is the Buzz Cut Filter API?
The Buzz Cut Filter API lets your app generate a realistic buzz cut preview from a single user photo, using the Buzz Cut style ID inside YouCam's broader hairstyle try-on library.
- One of 150+ pre-trained style IDs available through a single endpoint
- Works on both men's and women's photos
- Delivered as a high-resolution image URL, ready to display
- No manual retouching or 3D modeling required
Real Hair, Not a Flat Filter
Because the API is powered by generative AI rather than a 2D overlay, a buzz cut needs to render scalp, skin tone, and head shape convincingly, and that is exactly what it does.
- Strand-level rendering with natural shadows and highlights
- Accurate scalp and skin tone visibility unique to short cuts
- Facial features preserved almost unchanged
- Consistent quality across different lighting conditions

Integration is a single standard RESTful call. Send a photo and a style ID, get back a rendered image, and move on with your product build.
- Single POST request with an input image and style_id
- Standard JSON response with the output image URL

- Code snippets available in JavaScript, Python, Java, Flutter, PHP, and Node.js

Consistent Across Every Face Shape

- Natural head shape and hairline rendering
- Reliable results for both men's and women's photos
