Google’s New Virtual Try-On Tool Lets You Try Clothes Using Just a Photo
Buying clothes online is a gamble, because you can’t visualise how it’ll look on your body. And if, unfortunately, a product doesn’t look good, the return process for most e-commerce platforms is a big headache. Google is now offering a simple solution with its Virtual Apparel Try-On tool, which has officially arrived in India. The tool uses your own photo to show how different clothes will look on you, making online shopping more confident and personalised.
Indian customers can benefit greatly from this tool, as it allows them to virtually try countless clothing items before purchasing. You can switch between styles, compare outfits, revisit older looks, and even save your favourites to revisit later. And because no shopping experience is complete without a little friendly judgment, Google also lets you share your try-on looks with friends or family for quick opinions.
How does the Google Virtual Try-On Tool work?
Here’s how you can check how an outfit looks on you using this new feature:
- Look for the “try it on” icon next to clothing listings across various Google shopping surfaces.
- After selecting it, upload a clear picture of yourself.
- The tool will then show how different clothes fit on your body.
- This makes it easier to understand the outfit’s actual look and feel, rather than relying solely on product photos.
While no technology will ever give the perfect representation of how a dress would look on you in real life, Google’s virtual try-on offers flexibility by providing a visual check and can help reduce your encounters with return processes.
