Virtual Model transforms clothing photos 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 Android version of Photoroom. If you are using the Web App or an Apple (iOS) device, see:

Stage 1: Upload clothing photos
Upload your clothing photos to the Virtual Model feature:
Select the Space you want to work in.
Select AI tools.
Select Virtual Model.
If you can't see the Virtual Model option, select the See more button to see a full list of the AI tools. Select Virtual Model from there.
Choose a clothing photo to upload.
[Optional] Select the + icon and upload another clothing photo. By uploading multiple clothing photos, you can show an entire outfit on a Virtual Model.
Stage 2: Tell Photoroom what you want
Use the settings to tell Photoroom what you want in your image.
[Optional] Enter a description in the prompt field. For example, "Add window in background".
[Optional] Add or remove clothing images:
Select + and upload another image.
Select X on an image to remove it.
Select Model and choose a Virtual Model from the list.
To use your own model, select Custom and upload a model photo.
Select Background and choose a category of AI background.
To use your own background, select + and then upload a background photo. Alternatively, select Camera to take a photo to upload or use Generate an image with AI and then use an AI Tool to create an image.
Select Pose and choose a preferred position for the model.
Use Size to set the dimensions of the image. Choose from Square, Portrait, or Landscape sizes.
Use Brand to choose whether the brand description for the Space will influence the AI:
Apply brand style - Turn it on if you want the Virtual Model AI to be influenced by the brand description. Turn it off to ignore the brand description.
Brand description - Shows the current brand description (if any) for the Space. This comes from the Brand Kit. If you make changes to the description here, they are also made to the brand kit and will affect the entire Space.
Select the quality of image you want:
Standard

Stage 3: Generate images from different angles [optional]
You can generate more versions of an image, with the model and scene shown from different angles:
Select the context menu for a generated Virtual Model image.
Select the Other angles option.
Tip: To use several of the different angle images, select one and export it (see Stage 4). Then close it and return to Virtual Model. The previously generated images are still available (unless deleted by someone else). Select one of the other angles to export.
