How the Google Try-On tool works

Navigating the world of online clothing shopping can be tricky, especially when it comes to picturing how something will actually look on you. To tackle this challenge, Google is harnessing the power of AI to allow shoppers to try billions of apparel garments on their own body, by uploading just a single image of themselves.

This offers a helpful vibe check, giving you a general sense of how the item might complement your personal style as you explore different looks and discover new styles from countless retailers.

Requirements

This feature is currently available within Australia, Canada, India, Japan, UK, and US for logged-in users on both mobile and desktop versions of Google Shopping, Google Search, and Google Images. Users must be 18 years or older to use this feature and accounts must have Web & App Activity and Search Personalization turned on.

How to get started

1. Search for any top, bottom, or dress on Google.
   1. Lingerie, bathing suits, and accessories aren't supported.
2. Click the product or image you want to try on.
3. Click Try it on. If you don’t see the button, that item isn't eligible to try on.
4. Upload an image of yourself or a photo you have permission to use. Photos should meet the requirements listed below.
   1. For convenience, your uploaded photo is saved so that you don’t have to upload it each time you want to try something on, but you can upload a new one or delete the existing photo at any time.
5. After the image is generated, you can save or share your look.

Tip: This feature is not available for Shopping Ads so products under “Sponsored” will not have the “Try it on” button.

Photo requirements for best results

To get the best results from Google Try-On, your photo should meet these requirements:

• Use an image of yourself or one that you have permission to use.
• Use either a full-body image from head to toe or a selfie, with no other people.
• Has good lighting and a clean background free of clutter.
• Stand tall with your hands visible and out of their pockets.
• Wear fitted clothing
  • Overly baggy outfits may distort the result.

To avoid issues, do not:

• Hold the phone too close to your face or body when you take the photo.
• Sit or crouch.
• Take the picture from far away.
• Upload photos of children.

If you're in the US, you can also use a selfie with the Nano Banana AI model to generate a digital version of yourself for virtual try-ons.

To create a digital version of yourself, select the module at the top of the “Try-on” overview page.

Tips:

• The AI-generated image can be saved as your default image for when you try on products.
• Optional: To improve body shape accuracy, select the clothing size you typically wear in the creation flow.

Safety policies

Uploaded photos must also abide by Google’s safety guidelines. The following images are not permitted:

• Adult-oriented content, child sexual abuse imagery, non-consensual sexual content, and sexually explicit content. Learn more about Adult oriented content.
• Inappropriate content such as dangerous, derogatory, or shocking. Learn more about appropriate content.

If the photo does not abide by Google’s policies, you will be asked to upload a different photo. The use of this feature is subject to Google’s Generative AI Prohibited Use policy.

Understanding generated images

Generated images may include mistakes, such as body shapes, personal features, or errors in clothing details. Your feedback on any discrepancies you encounter is essential in helping us make these visualizations even better. As you use this feature, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• The generated image can help you see how an item might look, but it does not determine or guarantee the actual fit of the garment. Our image generation provides a visual representation, and while we may visualize the item on a model, please note that the availability of specific sizes is determined by the merchant. Therefore, always refer to standard size charts, customer reviews, and product details on the product page to choose the best size for you, regardless of the size shown in the visualization.
• This feature aims to provide a helpful visualization, but it's an approximation and may not reflect body shape, personal features, or product details with perfect accuracy.
• We’re committed to continuously improving this experience. If you have any comments or feedback about the generated images, click the Give feedback link at the bottom of the try-on screen, and tell us what you thought could have gone better. If there are issues related to something other than the try-on image itself, you can report content on Google.

Google’s use of photos

Google uses your uploaded photo to produce the generated try-on look. Google does not collect or store any biometric data during this experience, nor is your photo used for training purposes. Your photo is never shared with other Google products, services, or third-party affiliates.

To improve the Try On generative AI experience in Shopping, we evaluate the quality of our generated images responsibly with user feedback and trained human reviews. When trained reviewers evaluate the quality of Google's machine learning models, we take a number of precautions to protect users' privacy:

• Data that reviewers see and annotate are disconnected from users' accounts.
• Automated tools help recognize and remove a broad range of identifying info and sensitive personal information.

We take your privacy and security seriously. All data is protected by Google’s security infrastructure. Your images are handled in accordance with Google's Privacy policy and are never used beyond the Try-on experience. You maintain control over your uploaded and generated images, with the freedom to save, share, or delete them at any time.
