Better photos produce better virtual try-ons. Share these guidelines with shoppers (in On Site Design copy or support macros) and use them when you test Funnels yourself.
Aim for a photo where the person is clearly visible, well lit, and unobstructed.
Use good lighting — natural daylight or bright, even indoor light
Face the camera; keep the body centered in the frame
Show enough of the body for the garment (full body or clear torso, depending on the product)
Wear fitted or simple clothing so the AI can place the product cleanly
Use a recent photo that matches the shopper’s current look
Keep the background relatively simple
Heavy shadows, backlighting, or neon club lighting
Group photos, cropped faces-only selfies (when the product needs the body), or extreme angles
Busy costumes, huge logos, or props covering the torso
Blurry, pixelated, or heavily filtered images
Sunglasses or hair completely covering the face when identity/face context matters for the look
Very distant shots where the person is a small figure in the frame
Stand straight, arms slightly away from the body.
Make sure the camera is at chest or eye height—not from the floor or extreme above.
Check that the garment area (shoulders, waist, hips as relevant) is visible.
Upload the sharpest version you have (original camera roll photo beats a compressed screenshot).
Product type | Photo tip |
|---|---|
Dresses & one-pieces | Full-body or mid-thigh and up; posture straight |
Tops | Clear torso and shoulders; avoid bulky jackets in the base photo |
Swimwear / underwear / smallclothes | Good lighting and uncluttered frame; consider Antla Light when cloth type is dress — Choose a generation model (Pro / Fast / Light) |
Outerwear | Show shoulders and torso; avoid already wearing a heavy coat if possible |
Use On Site Design to set short upload guidance (“Use a bright, full-body photo”) instead of long paragraphs. One clear instruction outperforms a wall of text.
Also:
Feature example “good vs okay” guidance in FAQs or size/fit pages if try-on is central to your brand.
Train support to ask for a clearer photo when a shopper reports a weak result.
Test your own Funnels with the same photo standards you expect from customers — How shoppers try products on.
If photos are strong but results disappoint:
Try another generation model on that Funnel (Pro for fidelity, Fast for speed).
Confirm the product imagery and Funnel template/prompt match the garment category.
Spot-check similar products in Try-On Feed to see if the issue is one SKU or the whole Funnel.
Revisit product selection—some items try on more cleanly than others — Add products: manual vs automated rules.
Photo quality and Funnel setup work together; fixing only one side rarely solves every edge case.
Shoppers upload photos to generate a personal try-on. Keep your storefront copy honest and simple about why the photo is needed, and point to your privacy policy where appropriate. Clear expectations increase upload completion rates.
