Ever been scrolling online, found the perfect dress or jacket, but hesitated because you just couldn't picture how it would actually look on you? Or maybe you have a great photo but wish you could magically swap your outfit for something more exciting? For years, this kind of photo editing was the stuff of science fiction or required hours of painstaking work by a Photoshop expert. Not anymore. Thanks to the power of generative AI, you can now add clothes to any photo online, and you can do it for free, in just a few minutes.
This is your simple, step-by-step guide to becoming your own virtual stylist using Glomica Studio. We'll walk you through the entire process, from picking the right photos to crafting the perfect instructions for the AI. You don't need any technical skills, design experience, or a credit card. If you can upload a photo and type a sentence, you're about to unlock a world of creative fashion possibilities.
What You'll Need (It's Simpler Than You Think)
Before we start, let's gather your two key ingredients. This whole process works by giving the AI two images and telling it how to combine them.
- A Photo of a Person: This can be a picture of you, a friend, an influencer, or even a stock photo. The clearer the photo, the better the result will be!
- A Photo of a Clothing Item: This is the piece of clothing you want to "try on." It could be a screenshot from an online store, a picture of a t-shirt you designed, or an image of a dress from a magazine.
That's it! Once you have these two images saved to your computer or phone, you're ready to go.
The 3-Step Guide to Adding Clothes to Your Photo
We've designed our AI tool to be incredibly intuitive. Just follow these three simple steps.
Step 1: Upload Your Two Images
First, head over to the Glomica Studio Generator. You'll see two main upload boxes:
- "Upload Person": Click on this box and select the photo of the person you want to dress.
- "Upload Clothing": Click here and select the image of the garment you want to add.
Once uploaded, you'll see a preview of your images in the boxes. It's that easy.
Quick Tip: For the best results, use a clothing image that's laid flat on a simple background (this is often called a "flat lay"). This helps the AI understand the shape of the item perfectly. For the person, a photo where they are facing forward without their arms crossed is ideal.
Step 2: Tell the AI What to Create (The "Prompt")
This is the fun part where you get to be the creative director. You just need to give the AI some simple written instructions. Scroll down to the "Advanced Controls" section and find the "Background Prompt" box.
Your prompt tells the AI everything it needs to know to create the final image. You can be as simple or as detailed as you like.
For a Simple Studio Look:
If you just want to see the clothes on the person without any fancy background, you can choose the "Solid Color" option and pick a color like white or light gray.
For a Cool Lifestyle Photo:
This is where you can get creative. Think about where you'd want the final photo to be. In the prompt box, describe the scene.
Some examples to get you started:
- "A woman wearing the red dress, standing in a beautiful park with flowers."
- "A man wearing the blue jacket, walking down a city street at night with neon lights."
- "Photorealistic image of the person from the photo, now wearing the leather jacket and sitting in a cozy coffee shop."
Don't be afraid to experiment! The AI is smart. Just describe what you want to see, and it will do its best to create it.
Step 3: Generate Your New Photo!
Now for the magic. Click the big blue "Generate Photoshoot" button.
The AI will now analyze your photos and your prompt and get to work creating a brand-new, totally unique image. It usually takes less than a minute. The final result will appear in the "Generated Image" panel on the right. You'll see the person from your first photo, now realistically wearing the clothing from your second photo, all within the scene you described!
You can then download your creation and share it with friends, use it as a new profile picture, or just keep it for style inspiration.
Creative Ways to Use the AI Clothes Changer
This tool is more than just a fun novelty. Here are a few practical and creative ways you can use it:
- Visualize Before You Buy: Found something you love online? Grab a screenshot and "try it on" yourself before you add it to your cart to get a better sense of the style.
- Plan Your Perfect Outfit: Have a big event coming up? Test out different clothing combinations on a photo of yourself to plan your look in advance.
- Reimagine Old Photos: Give a favorite old photo a fresh look by swapping out the outfit for something new and exciting.
- Create Unique Social Media Content: Design amazing, eye-catching images for your Instagram or TikTok that will make your followers wonder how you did it.
- Design Your Own T-Shirts: If you have an idea for a t-shirt, you can create the graphic, upload it, and see how it looks on a model instantly.
The Technology Behind the Magic (No Photoshop Required!)
You might be wondering how this is possible. Glomica Studio uses a powerful type of artificial intelligence called a generative model (powered by Google's Gemini). It doesn't just cut and paste the clothing onto the person. Instead, it analyzes the shapes, textures, and lighting in both of your images.
It understands how fabric should wrinkle and fold over a person's body. It creates realistic shadows and highlights so the new clothing looks like it naturally belongs in the scene. It's a complex process that the tool simplifies into just a few clicks, giving you the power of a professional photo editor without any of the difficult work.
Your Turn to Create—For Free!
The best way to understand the magic of AI is to try it for yourself. With a free starter account on Glomica Studio, you get credits to generate your own images right now. You don't need to be a tech genius or a fashion expert. All you need is a couple of photos and a spark of imagination.
So go ahead, find that photo you've always wanted to update or that outfit you've been dreaming of. Head to the generator and bring your fashion ideas to life. What will you create first?
