Turn your clothing or jewelry photos into stunning magazine-style promo images with Photoroom's Virtual Model feature. It uses AI to create a realistic image of a model wearing clothing or jewelry based on your photo!
You can use the entire AI-generated image as a new design. Alternatively, you can remove its background and just use the virtual model as a layer in a new design.
Image 1 is the original photo. Image 2 is the virtual model with background. Image 3 is the virtual model image with no background and a Photoroom template instead.
Working with Virtual Model
When using Virtual Model, be aware that:
It is currently available in selected countries on the Web App and iOS versions of Photoroom. It is coming soon to Android. For more details, see Photoroom and OpenAI gpt images.
AI images can have differences to the original photo, especially with more complex patterns, shapes and text. Be aware that AI images are "interpretations" of the source content and are not exact matches.
Clothing photos will usually result in a full body shot or medium shot to show the model wearing the clothing. Jewelry photos often produce more close-up shots.
There are limits on how many Virtual Model images you can generate. For details, see Photoroom and OpenAI gpt images.
On iPhone and iPad
In the following video and instructions, we explain how to use Virtual Model in two ways:
Create a Virtual Model image and keep its background in place.
Create a Virtual Model image and remove its background so that the virtual model is a layer on a design. We also cover how to export the design and re-import it so that you can apply a template to it.

Select Content.
Select the workspace you want to work in.
Select AI Tools.
Select Virtual Model.
Select + Add your photo and then choose a photo to upload.
Select a model from the list.
Set the dimensions of the image that Photoroom will create. Choose from:

When you have the 2 images you can select the one you want to use. Alternatively, select the arrow button to generate more. Note that there is a limit on how many images you can generate (for details, see Photoroom and OpenAI gpt images).
Use Remove background to include or exclude the AI background from the design.
If you remove the background, you will get a design that has no background layer and the virtual model character on another layer. This is a good choice if you want to place the virtual model on a different background, such as a plain color.
If you keep the background, you will get a design that has no background layer and the entire AI image on another layer.
Select Use image.
[Optional] Use the editing features to make additional changes, such as add text, shapes, and other design elements. To learn how to use the editing features, see Features and tools.
[Optional] Select Export. Use the export settings to save your design as an image file and share it with other people.
Select X to save your design and exit the editor.
Tip: To use the virtual model with a Photoroom template, generate the virtual model and remove its background. When it is shown in the editor, export it as an image file. Then select +New design and import the image file of your design. Wait for Photoroom to remove its background and then select the template you want to use.
On Web App
To use Virtual Model on the Web App version of Photoroom:
Log in at app.photoroom.com.
Select the workspace you want to work in.
Select AI Tools and then Virtual Model.
Select + Add your photo and then choose a photo to upload.
Select a model from the list.
Set the dimensions of the image that Photoroom will create. Choose from:
Square

Landscape (3:2 ratio).
Select Generate.
Photoroom will generate 2 images. It should take approximately 1 minute to complete and the progress is shown as percentages.
When you have the 2 images you can select the one you want to use. Alternatively, select Generate to make alternatives. Note that there is a limit on how many images you can generate (for details, see Photoroom and OpenAI gpt images).
Tip: To download a generated design as an image file, select the dotted menu
( ... ) for the design and then select Download.
Use Remove background to include or exclude the AI background from the design.
If you remove the background, you will get a design that has a white background on one layer and the virtual model character on another layer. This is a good choice if you want to place the virtual model on a different background, such as a plain color or a Photoroom template.
If you keep the background, you will get a design that has a white background on one layer and the entire AI image on another layer.
[Optional] Use these options to change the image:
Retouch to remove parts of the image that you don't want. Set the brush size and draw over the area you want to remove. This option is only available when the background layer is present.
To learn more about Retouch, see Remove unwanted objects with the Retouch tool.
Edit Cutout to erase or restore parts of the image. This is only available when the background layer has been removed.
To learn more about Edit Cutout, see Add and remove parts of an image with edit cutout.
Resize to change the dimensions for the image. When you select Resize, the image is shown in the editor. From there, you can set a different size for the image.
Select Use this image (only required if you did not use Retouch, Edit Cutout or Resize).
[Optional] Use the editing features to make additional changes, such as add text, shapes, and other design elements. To learn how to use the editing features, see Features and tools.
