1. BeautyPlus

BeautyPlus gives you more control than a basic mustache sticker. Upload a clear portrait and choose between Preset and Custom modes. Preset offers ready-made facial hair styles for quick results, while Custom lets you brush over the upper-lip area and describe a look such as a “thin pencil mustache,” “dark brown chevron,” or “handlebar mustache with curled ends.”

In Custom mode, the brush lets you control exactly where the mustache appears, helping avoid unwanted changes to the chin, jaw, or nearby skin. Fine-tune the selection with the eraser, zoom, undo, and redo tools, then compare the before and after.

Key features

• Generate an edit in around 10 seconds
• Choose ready-made styles in Preset mode
• Create a personalized look in Custom mode
• Customize the mustache’s style, thickness, color, and placement
• Adjust selections with brush size, eraser, zoom, undo, and redo

Pricing

• Free: One trial generation
• Pro: $12 with 200 credits
• Max: $17 with 500 credits

Best for: Anyone who wants a quick facial hair preset or a realistic, customized mustache for profile pictures, memes, and social posts.

2. AIChangeHair

AIChangeHair offers a focused mustache page inside a larger hair-editing platform. Its prompt box is prefilled with a request to add a natural mustache while keeping the face and identity unchanged. Users can keep that instruction or replace it with a more specific style, color, or thickness.

The editor also makes resolution part of the credit decision. A 1K result costs fewer credits than a 2K or 4K result, so users can test an idea at a lower resolution before spending more on a sharper version.

One catch: generation requires sign-in for free signup credits, so users can’t fully preview the final edit as a guest. Its official page also makes strong claims about preserving the entire face and background. Those claims should be treated as goals rather than guarantees because generative edits can still introduce unwanted changes.

Key features

• Pre-filled prompt that can be customized by style, thickness, and color
• Custom descriptions for different mustache styles
• Identity-focused prompts designed to limit changes beyond the mustache area
• Three quality options: 1K, 2K, and 4K
• Simple upload, describe, select quality, and generate workflow

Pricing

• Free: 20 credits at signup, plus 10 daily credits when claimed
• Monthly: $14.99/mo, 800 credits per month
• Yearly: $83.88 for the first year, with 14,400 credits upfront; renews at $179.88 per year
• One-time packs: $9.90 for 300 credits, $19.90 for 650, or $39.90 for 1,400

Best for: People who want to test several mustache styles on their own face using text prompts rather than manual masking, and who do not mind signing up or using credits for each result.

3. OpenArt

OpenArt’s mustache filter is part of a larger AI image-editing suite. Upload a photo, and it opens in the Inpaint editor with “Mustache” already entered as the prompt. From there, select the upper-lip area, adjust the description, choose a model, and generate.

You can mark the area using Click Area or Manual Brush, then choose from Quick, Premium (FLUX.2 Pro), or Advanced models. These extra controls are useful if you are familiar with AI editing, but the workspace may feel too complex if you just want a quick mustache preview.

You can access the editor as a guest, but you must sign up or upgrade before generating the final result. This makes it less convenient for users who want to try the full tool without creating an account.

Key features

• Prompt prefilled as “Mustache,” with room to rewrite style, color, and thickness
• Click Area and Manual Brush tools to select the edit region
• Model choices including Quick, Premium (FLUX.2 Pro), and Advanced
• Additional suite tools such as Remove, Expand, Stylize, Background, and Face editing

Pricing

• Starter: from $14/seat/month with 4,000 credits/month
• Plus: from $34/seat/month with 12,000 credits/month
• Pro: from $56/seat/month with 24,000 credits/month
• Wonder: $240/seat/month with 106,000 credits/month

Best for: People who want selected-area AI inpainting and do not mind working inside a larger image-editing suite, especially if they may keep editing the same photo after adding a mustache.

4. VEED

VEED’s mustache filter lets you upload a photo, describe a style, and preview the result. However, it is not a standalone filter. Clicking “Try the mustache filter” opens VEED’s AI Playground, which also includes tools for image generation, video editing, and AI characters.

The workflow is fully prompt-based: upload a portrait, describe a Chevron, Handlebar, Pencil, or another mustache style, choose an AI model, and generate. This is easy to use, but the result depends on the model. In our test with Flux 2, it added the mustache but also changed parts of the face, making the output feel more like a new portrait than a realistic try-on.

You can access the AI Playground as a guest, but generating an image requires a free account and credits.

Key features

• Prompt-based mustache editing with no manual brush required
• Multiple AI model options
• Credit counter shown before generation
• Option to download the image or continue into image-to-video / video tools

Pricing

• Creator: $25/user/month with 500 credits
• Pro: $45/user/month with 2,500 credits
• Studio: $79/user/month with 15,000 credits

Best for: Creators who want a prompt-based mustache edit and may continue into VEED’s video workflow afterward.

5. Media.io

Media.io markets itself as a free online mustache filter, but what you actually get is a prompt-based Image to Image edit powered by Nano Banana Pro. You upload a portrait, describe the mustache you want, and let the model regenerate the look. That makes it flexible for realistic Chevron styles or louder Handlebar looks, especially since the page already provides copyable prompts.

The catch is that this is not a one-tap beauty filter. There is no brush for the upper lip and no mustache preset tray. Everything depends on the text prompt, and generation sits behind Media.io’s credit system. In testing, users need to sign in before generating an image. New users receive 5 credits after their first login, and the cost of each generation depends on the AI model selected. So it works best if you are fine writing prompts and using credits, not if you just want a quick guest try-on.

Key features

• Prompt-based mustache edits through Media.io Image to Image
• Nano Banana Pro model for the generation
• Ready-made prompt examples of realistic and iconic styles
• Access to Media.io’s wider AI image and video tools

Pricing

• Free: 3 daily check-in credits, limited generations, 720p exports with watermark
• Standard: $10.99/mo monthly, with 100 credits/month
• Premium: $19.99/mo monthly, with 400 credits/month

Best for: People who want prompt-driven mustache experiments and already like Media.io’s credit-based AI tools. Less ideal if you want a simple, no-login mustache try-on with direct upper-lip control.

Use the Beard Filter In Preset Mode

• Step 1: Go to the Free Beard Filter Online and click “Upload Image” to add your photo.

• Step 2: Choose “Preset” to apply a ready-made beard style, then click “Generate” and wait for the AI to apply the beard style.

• Step 3: Preview the result, then click “Download” to save your image.

Use the Beard Filter In Custom Mode

• Step 1: Use the round highlighter to highlight the upper lip area (and jaws if you also want to try on a beard).

• Step 2: Once done, provide a prompt (about the type of mustache you want) to the tool.

• Step 3: Click “Generate.”

• Step 4: To save the picture, tap on the “Download” button.

Here’s how you can use the BeautyPlus app to try on Mustache filters:

• Step 1: Go to the BeautyPlus app and click on the “Start editing” option to upload the picture that you would like to try the mustache filter on.

• Step 2: Once the picture is uploaded, choose the “Edit” option.

• Step 3: Tap on “AI filter.”

• Step 4: Swipe a little to the right to find the “Beards” option.

• Step 5: Swipe to the right to go through all the filters and then choose the one you would prefer to try on.

• Step 6: Once the image is ready, click on “Tick”

• Step 7: To save the image, tap on the “Save” button on the top right of the screen.

Current grooming trends favor the Chevron, Beardstache, Pencil, and Handlebar. Try each style with a mustache filter before deciding which one suits your face and personal style.

Chevron Mustache

The Chevron is currently one of the most popular choices. Its thick, natural shape creates a confident look without requiring curled ends or detailed styling.

Beardstache

The Beardstache pairs a prominent mustache with short, neat stubble. It offers a modern, relaxed option for anyone who finds a standalone mustache too dramatic.

Pencil Mustache

The Pencil is thin, precise, and inspired by classic Hollywood. It works well for a refined look without adding too much visual weight around the mouth.

Handlebar Mustache

The Handlebar features longer ends that curl upward. It is a bolder choice for anyone who wants a vintage, distinctive, or playful style.

Choosing the right mustache filter depends on how much control you need. BeautyPlus offers quick, ready-made presets and a Custom mode for precise brush selection and text prompts. AIChangeHair provides a simpler prompt workflow, OpenArt offers advanced inpainting, VEED works well for videos, and Media.io uses a credit-based system.

Try the BeautyPlus Mustache Filter for either one-click styles or a fully customized look. One trial generation is available before credits apply.
