It requires uploading a reference image with your full body in view. Once that’s done, you can try on different pieces of clothing in Google Shopping without spending any time imagining how it’ll look on you. Here’s how you can use Google’s Virtual Apparel Try On tool on your phone.

Some tips to keep in mind
The quality of results obtained by using Google’s virtual apparel tool is heavily dependent on the kind of reference image uploaded by the user. Naturally, well-lit images where the subject is standing upright will yield better results. Pictures where the subject is hunched over, will throw the tool for a spin. Here are some tips to keep in mind while uploading a reference image.
- The subject should be the focus of the image. Make sure there are no other people in the frame.
- The image should have the subject’s full body in view.
- The image should be well-lit, and the background should be free of clutter and distractions.
- Hands should be out of pockets.
- The clothes of the subject in the reference image should not be baggy or oversized.
- It is very important to note that you should only use images of yourself or of people who have permitted you to use this tool on their behalf.
