OutfitGen vs Google Virtual Try-On
Google Shopping now includes a virtual try-on feature powered by Nano Banana (Google's Gemini image model). You upload a selfie or full-body photo, and Google shows you wearing products from its shopping catalog. OutfitGen lets you change the outfit in any photo to anything you want. Both use AI to put clothes on people, but the scope and flexibility are very different.
About Google Virtual Try-On
Google Virtual Try-On is a free feature inside Google Shopping, available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, and Japan. It uses Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) to generate images of you wearing products listed in Google's Shopping Graph. You upload one photo of yourself (full-body or selfie), optionally select your clothing size for better body accuracy, and browse billions of product listings with a 'Try it on' button. The Nano Banana 2 update (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, Feb 2026) can generate a full-body digital version of you from just a selfie. Google stores your photo for convenience across sessions. Currently supports tops, bottoms, and dresses. Does not support lingerie, bathing suits, or accessories.

Our Verdict
OutfitGen gives you creative freedom that Google's try-on simply cannot. Want to try on a jacket you saw on Instagram? A vintage piece from a thrift store photo? A costume idea? OutfitGen handles all of it. Google limits you to products in its shopping catalog, in six countries, for tops, bottoms, and dresses only. Google's try-on is useful for previewing a specific product before buying, but OutfitGen is the tool you reach for when you want to experiment, plan outfits, create content, or try on anything that is not in Google's database. For most people interested in AI outfit changing, OutfitGen covers far more ground.
