Google’s AI Tool Turns Selfies into Full‑Body Avatars
Google has launched an upgraded version of its AI‑powered virtual try‑on tool, which can now create a full‑body avatar using just a selfie. This new feature, powered by the Nano Banana model from the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image suite, aims to make online clothes shopping more efficient and personalized.
How the Tool Works
To use the tool, users simply upload a selfie and select their usual clothing size. The AI then generates several full‑body avatars based on the user’s facial features while maintaining consistent body proportions. Users can choose the avatar that best represents them and use it to virtually try on various clothing items, such as shirts, jackets, and dresses.
Key Benefits
This update eliminates the previous requirement of uploading a full‑body photo, saving users time and effort. The AI‑generated avatars are personalized, offering a more realistic preview of how clothes will fit and look compared to generic body types. The feature is designed to enhance the online shopping experience by increasing confidence in purchases and reducing the likelihood of returns due to sizing issues.
Availability
Currently, the feature is rolling out in the United States and is integrated into Google Search and Shopping, requiring no additional downloads or sign‑ups.
Looking Ahead
Google plans to introduce more realistic avatars and 3D try‑ons, along with deeper integration with styling apps.
