Use Photoroom's Virtual Model feature to show your jewelry on realistic AI models. All you need to do is: upload a photo, choose a model and size, and then let the Photoroom AI do its magic!
When using Virtual Model, be aware that:
AI images can have differences to the original photo, especially with more complex patterns, shapes and text. AI images are "interpretations" of the source content and are not exact matches.
Jewelry photos often produce close-up shots in Virtual Model.
Virtual Model images count towards your AI generation limit.
