Virtual try-on: garment photos, types and controls
What makes a good input photo, all 21 garment types, and the pose, angle, expression and framing controls.
What to upload
- Flat-lay — garment laid flat, shot from above. The most common seller photo, and the best-tested input.
- Hanger or mannequin — both work; the mannequin is replaced by a real-looking model.
- Front and back — add a back photo when the back design matters (lehengas, blouses, printed tees).
Tips: even lighting, the whole garment in frame, minimal clutter behind it. Wrinkles are okay — there's a free un-wrinkle tool — but the closer the photo is to the product, the more faithful the result.
Garment types
21 types, from t-shirts, shirts, dresses, jeans and hoodies to sarees, kurtis, kurti sets, co-ord sets, lehengas and kurta-pyjamas. The type you pick loads garment-specific construction rules — it's why CatalogX gets a saree's pleats or a kurti set's dupatta right where generic tools don't. If you're unsure, auto-detect picks for you.
Note the kurti distinction: Kurti means no dupatta; Kurti Set means with dupatta (you can also upload the dupatta separately and choose its draping style).
Controls
- Pose & hands — standing variants, hand positions; Pro+ can copy a pose from any photo (pose reference).
- Body angle & camera — front/side angles, full-body to close-up framing.
- Expression & lighting — neutral to smiling; soft studio to dramatic.
- Fit — regular, slim, oversized, relaxed (hidden for sarees and lehengas, where drape defines fit).
- Resolution — HD (1 credit), 2K (2 credits), 4K (4 credits, Pro and above). See credits.
