Live virtual try-on for glasses and sunglasses on Shopify
Virtual try-on for glasses lets shoppers see frames and sunglasses on their own face before they buy. WeTryOn does it in live AI video on Shopify, from the product photos you already have. It's a style preview, not a fit or lens measurement.
“Do these frames suit my face?”
Frames are chosen for a face, which is exactly what a photo on a stand cannot show. Seeing frames on their own face, as they turn their head, answers what a product photo cannot.
What live try-on does for eyewear stores
Helps shoppers find frames they like
Seeing frames on their own face helps a shopper decide, rather than guessing from a photo on a stand.
Fewer frames returned for how they look
A shopper who has already seen the frames on their face is less likely to be surprised by them. It shows style, not lens or prescription fit.
More frames tried per visit
Comparing shapes and colours costs a tap, so shoppers can try more of your range.
How it works for glasses & sunglasses
- Glasses are added to the shopper's face rather than replacing anything they are wearing.
- The shopper faces the camera; the try-on follows as they turn their head.
- Frames are generated from your product photo — no 3D model of each frame is needed.
- Every try-on runs 15 seconds, and shoppers agree to a short notice before the camera turns on.
What shoppers can try on
- Optical frames
- Sunglasses
- Reading glasses (style only)
Product photo tips
- A front-on photo of the frames alone, arms folded or open, on a plain background works best.
- Avoid strong reflections on the lenses.
- Set a dedicated try-on image for any product whose main photo is on a model.
Virtual try-on for glasses & sunglasses: questions
Does virtual try-on work for sunglasses and optical frames?
Yes. WeTryOn places both on the shopper's face in live AI video, from your product photos.
Does a glasses try-on measure pupillary distance or frame fit?
No. A WeTryOn try-on is a visual style preview generated by AI. It does not measure the face or check lens fit.
Do I need 3D models of my frames?
No. Many eyewear try-on tools need a 3D model of every frame; WeTryOn works from the photo you already have.
Can shoppers who wear glasses use virtual try-on?
Yes, though removing their own glasses first gives the clearest WeTryOn result.
