What makes a good photo for virtual try-on?
Use one clear, front-facing photo of yourself in good light, with your body not hidden behind objects. For the clothing, use a flat, front-on product photo where the whole garment is visible. A plain background helps on both photos. The result shows color, pattern and style. It cannot tell you the right size or how the fabric will fit.
How AI Clothes Swapper works for a dress or top photo
Upload your photo, then add the clothing as a photo, a short text description or a preset look. Each result uses 1 credit and takes about 20 seconds. Your face, pose and background stay the same. One-time packs are $4.99 for 20 images, $9.99 for 80, $19.99 for 200 and $49.99 for 600. Credits never expire, failed swaps are refunded, and paid downloads go up to 2K with no watermark. There is no free tier. Underwear, lingerie, swimwear and see-through clothing aren't supported. See pricing or the no-subscription comparison.
