Virtual Model transforms any clothing photo into a polished, photoshoot-ready image. It places your garments on realistic models and lets you mix and match different models, poses, and backgrounds to create a variety of standout visuals.
Note: Virtual Model images can have differences to the original photo, especially with more complex patterns, shapes and text. Be aware that Virtual Model images are "interpretations" of the source content and are not always exact matches.
In this article, we explain how to use Virtual Model on the iPhone and iPad versions of Photoroom. If you are using the Web App or an Android device, see:
