Virtual try-on & AI clothes changers
Virtual try-on shows a garment on a person before it is photographed or bought. An AI clothes changer does this by placing a garment from one image onto a person in another. Most tools are image-based; some simulate 3D fit; newer ones animate the outfit in a short video.
How it works, step by step
Step 1
Photograph the garment
Front-facing, full piece visible, even light, simple background.
Step 2
Choose the person image
A model or brand ambassador in a similar pose to the garment.
Step 3
Run the swap or try-on
Image swap for stills, video try-on for Reels and product page clips.
Step 4
Check every detail
Logos, prints, pockets, length and fabric texture.
Step 5
Make variations
Other body types, colourways and backgrounds from the same garment.
Step 6
Label honestly
Say when images are AI-generated where your market or platform requires it.
Compare the options
| Type | How it works | Best for | Limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2D image swap | AI repaints the garment onto a person photo | Product images, colourways, social | Fit is visual, not measured |
| 3D fitting | Garment pattern simulated on a body model | Fit, drape and size | Needs 3D garment files |
| Video try-on | Garment animated on a moving model | Reels, ads, product video | Short clips; details can drift |
