Pull one face or a whole head out of any photo

Upload a photo, type which face you want kept and how much of it, and VEED's face cut out tool isolates it. Ask for a tight crop, the full head with hair, or one person out of a group shot. Switching AI models is optional.

People use it for oversized head props at a graduation or a game, stickers and reaction images, a profile picture, or a head to drop onto a birthday card. If the shot needs a fix first, change the expression or tidy the skin with the AI face editor in the same session.

How to cut out a face:

Step 01

Upload your photo

Drop in a photo where the face is clear and well lit. Group shots work too, as long as the person you want is not blocked. If the face is small in the frame, sharpen the source first with the image upscaler.

Step 02

Describe the cutout you want

Type what to keep into the prompt field: "just the face on a plain white background," "keep the whole head and hair, remove the rest," or "only the person on the left." Keep the default model or pick another to compare results.

Step 03

Download, vary, or animate

Save the result, or re-prompt until it matches what you had in mind. For a transparent PNG you can layer onto anything, run it through the AI background remover. To put the head in motion, animate it with image-to-video AI.

Describe the face cutout instead of tracing it

The edge goes where you say it goes. In VEED's AI image editor you type the decision: how tight the crop is and whether every strand of hair comes along. Name the person, like "the man in the gray hoodie," and the editor leaves the rest of the group behind. There is no lasso or brush step and no cleanup pass around the ears, so a usable result takes about as long as writing the sentence.

Print it as a big head cut out or shrink it to a sticker

One cutout covers every size you need. Printed at poster size on foam board, a big head cut out gets held up at graduations and waved from the bleachers at a game. The same file shrinks down to a sticker or a profile picture with a clean edge. Once the background is gone, which the AI background remover handles, the head sits on a birthday card or a thumbnail without a box around it.

Turn the cutout into a talking clip

The cutout is a good starting frame for video. Upload the cutout to Fabric 1.0 with an audio clip, and the mouth and expression move with the words, which turns a birthday head into a birthday message. Or animate the image to send the head bobbing across the frame. Either result can go into the video editor, where you add captions and music before the post goes out.

FAQ

  • Upload the picture, describe what to keep in the prompt field, for example "cut out the face and put it on a white background," and generate. That is the whole process in VEED's AI image editor, with no selection tools. For a transparent background, run the result through the AI background remover afterward.

  • Yes. A head cutout keeps the hair, ears, and neck, which is what you want for a big head prop or a sticker. A tighter cutout trims in close around the features, which suits a small round avatar or a collage. You choose by writing it in the prompt, and VEED's editor follows the instruction without a mask or an eraser.

  • A one-click tool runs one automatic selection and hands you whatever edge it found. VEED's editor works from a written instruction, so you decide how much of the head stays and which person in a group photo gets isolated. The AI keeps the features and lighting from your photo, so the cutout still looks like the real person.

  • Every cutout you generate in VEED runs on AI credits. The cost depends on which AI model you use and how many results you generate, and the number of credits shows on screen before you run the prompt. Paid plans come with a set amount of credits that varies by plan; the VEED pricing page lists what each one includes.

  • Isolate the head from a clear photo, make it transparent with the AI background remover, and sharpen it with the image upscaler so it prints clean at poster size. Print on card stock or foam board, trim around the edge, and tape a paint stirrer or a dowel to the back. A head printed larger than life reads well from across a room.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.

Face Cut Out

More than a face cut out tool

Pulling a head out of a photo is one of many things you can do with a single upload. VEED is an AI video creation platform, so the head you just isolated can keep going: make it talk with Fabric 1.0, or animate it with image-to-video AI for a quick reaction clip. To build the post around it, bring the cutout into the video editor and add captions and music. Start creating with VEED today.
