Google said on Thursday that it is releasing a new experimental app called Doppl that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to show you how various clothes would seem on you. In the US, the app is accessible on both iOS and Android.
On Thursday, June 26, Google released Doppl, a new app that allows you to try on new clothes from the comfort on your couch. According to the company, the app “makes it fun and easy to see any outfit on a digital, animated version of yourself.” It is a part of Google Labs, an initiative that allows users to try new and experimental features.
With Doppl, you can virtually try on clothes on a digital version of yourself. You must first upload a full-body photo of yourself in order for the app to work. From there, you can virtually try on several clothes by using pictures or screenshots of them. These pictures could be a screenshot of an outfit you see while browsing social media, or they could be a picture of an outfit you see on a friend or at a thrift store.
Doppl will produce a picture of a virtual version of you wearing the clothing when you choose one to envision. In order to give you a better idea of how the outfit might appear on you in real life, Doppl can also turn these still photos into AI-generated videos.
You can peruse all of your past virtual try-ons and save your favorite looks. Additionally, you can share how you look with other people.
According to the tech giant, the new app expands on Google Shopping’s previously introduced virtual try-on feature. According to the company, by introducing the feature in a standalone app, Google is making it more accessible and enabling users to experiment with their style in an entertaining and engaging manner. In order to support its next initiatives in the field, it might also assist Google in collecting more information on how apps like these might work.
Although Google has previously provided virtual try-on technology, its past capabilities were centered around displaying things on a variety of models’ bodies. You can try on clothing on an animated version of your own body with Doppl.
“We hope Doppl helps you explore your style in new and exciting ways,” Google said in a blog post. “As a Google Labs experiment, Doppl is in its early days and it might not always get things right. Fit, appearance and clothing details may not always be accurate.”
It’s unclear when or whether Google intends to expand the Doppl app to other areas because it’s an experimental launch.
Google Shopping revealed last month that customers would be able to try on “billions of clothing items” by only submitting a picture. The tech giant stated in a blog post that the new Doppl app expands on these features and adds a number of new ones, such as the ability to use AI-generated videos to show users how an outfit can seem, turning static photographs into visuals.
Additionally, users can browse, save, and even share their favorite looks. Google says that users may snap a photo of any clothing they want and use Doppl to see how it appears on them if they see it on social media, at a local thrift store, or from a friend. Currently, the app allows you to try on dresses, shirts, and bottoms.

Just so you know, you can’t try on things like shoes, lingerie, bathing suits, and accessories.
The tech giant warns that because the new app is still in the experimental stage, it may not always get things like appearance and outfit details right. This implies that if certain components are absent, the app may occasionally “imagine parts of an outfit.” If you upload a photo of just a shirt, for example, Doppl will create an image with matching pants, shoes, and accessories.
Additionally, Doppl is only accessible to United States at this time, despite being available on both iOS and Android. Furthermore, it’s yet unclear if the company intends to make its products available in other areas.
Google has previously made forays into this field. The tech behemoth debuted its virtual try-on technology back in 2023, enabling customers to see how an item of apparel might seem on a variety of models. Glance AI, an app that uses AI to help consumers find new items, was released earlier this year by Glance, a well-known consumer-focused AI software business.
