Google Photos to Launch AI-Powered Wardrobe Feature
The new tool will turn your personal photo library into a digital clothing catalog, allowing you to mix, match, and virtually try on items you already own.
Feature Details
The AI-powered tool scans a user's existing Google Photos library to identify clothing and accessories. It then creates individual snapshots of these items, organizing them into a digital collection. Users can filter the catalog by categories such as "tops," "bottoms," "skirts," "dresses," "jewelry," and "shoes."
Users can generate new outfit ideas by mixing and matching items from their digital collection. These outfit combinations can be saved as a digital mood board, shared with friends, or used with a "Try it on" function. This virtual try-on feature uses an AI image generation model to preview how an item might look on the user's body.
Privacy and Data Use
Google has stated that images uploaded for this feature will not be used for AI training or shared with third parties.
Platform and Release
The feature will first be introduced on Android devices via the "Collections" tab within Google Photos, with an expansion to iOS devices planned for a later date. No specific release date has been provided other than "later this summer."
Background and Context
This new wardrobe feature is distinct from a previous AI virtual try-on tool Google launched for its Search product, which was designed to allow users to try on clothing while shopping for new items. The new feature focuses exclusively on clothing already owned by the user.
