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!
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.
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.
When using Virtual Model, be aware that:
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.
Virtual Model images count towards your AI generation limits.
If you are on Pro or Max and cannot see Virtual Model, update your Photoroom app to the latest version (in the App Store or Play Store).
