Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and a device for processing a portrait image, the method includes: acquiring a to-be-processed portrait image; inputting the to-be-processed portrait image into an image processing model, and acquiring a head smear image output by the image processing model, where the image processing model is configured to smear a hair area of a portrait located above a preset boundary in the portrait image, and the image processing model is generated by training a sample data set of a sample portrait image and a sample head smear image corresponding to the sample portrait image; rendering the head smear image with a head effect material to obtain a portrait image added with an effect; and displaying the portrait image added with the effect.
