Google is updating its AI-powered visual try-on tool and the best part is you no longer need a full body photo to use it. Thanks to the company’s Nano Banana model (part of the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image suite), the tool can now turn a single selfie into a full-body digital avatar for trying on clothes, and works in Google search and shopping.
All you have to do is upload a selfie and choose your usual size; Nano Banana will generate a handful of avatars. Using your face, the AI model generates the rest of your body while maintaining consistent proportions. Choose the model that you think suits you best and use the avatar to try on shirts, jackets, dresses and more.
Faster and more personal AI try-ons
Previously, you had to upload a full head-to-toe image, but the new feature saves time that would otherwise be spent searching for or taking a photo. The new AI-generated avatar does not rely on a preset body type or generic shapes. Instead, a personalized digital avatar is created, providing a more realistic preview of fit and style.
The Nano Banana update is intended to lead to richer and more immersive shopping experiences, where shoppers are more confident about what they are purchasing before making payments. If you buy clothes online, the update can help you save time, frustration and the hassle of returning a product if you bought it in a smaller or larger size.
The new Google Shopping feature is currently rolling out in the US, giving American shoppers a chance to try it out before anyone else in the world. Since the feature is built directly into Google Search and Google Shopping, you don’t need to download or sign up for anything extra.
In the future, Google could release further improvements to its Nano Banana model, generating more realistic avatars and 3D try-ons, as well as enabling deeper integration with apps like Doppl for styling and outfit ideas. I’m a little skeptical about the feature that estimates a person’s body type based on their face, but it should still help find a virtual fit and speed up the ordering process.
