Google’s digital wardrobe finally shipped on iPhone, and it is the version most people have been waiting for. Upload a full-body photo of yourself, browse a curated store of clothing, tap a garment, and see it draped on your own body in seconds. It is not the first attempt at this on iOS, but it is the first one where the fit rendering is convincing enough to change what people actually buy. We tested six iOS apps for virtual clothing try-on, ranked by fit accuracy, the size of the catalog, and how the app handles the photo of you it needs to work.
What to look for in a virtual try-on app
- Photo handling: is your reference photo stored on-device, uploaded to a temporary buffer, or kept permanently? This is the most important detail and the one apps talk about least.
- Catalog size. A perfect fit engine matters less if the store only stocks three T-shirts.
- Fit accuracy. Does the app get sleeve length right? Waist line? Neckline drape?
- Return-friendly retailers. Try-on is a wrap for anyone who can’t return; make sure your favorite stores are covered.
- Local processing where possible. On-device rendering is faster and more private.

1. Google Shopping try-on, best for cross-store browsing
Google Shopping try-on is the reason this list exists on iOS now. Upload one reference photo, then browse clothing from Nordstrom, ASOS, LOFT, Gap, Anthropologie, and a growing list of partner retailers, and see each item on you before adding to a shopping list. Fit rendering handles necklines, sleeves, and waistband placement correctly for most silhouettes.
Where it falls short: it does not check out inside the app. You get pushed to each retailer’s own flow when you decide to buy.
Pricing:
- Free.
Bottom line: the default install for anyone who wants to try clothing before adding it to a cart. Broadest catalog, best fit engine.
2. Amazon virtual try-on, best for Amazon fashion
Amazon virtual try-on is embedded inside the main Amazon app rather than a separate download. It supports Amazon’s own fashion catalog plus most of the third-party sellers listed under Amazon Fashion. Rendering is quick, though not as convincing as Google’s for structured pieces like blazers.
Where it falls short: limited to Amazon. If you shop across retailers, this is not the primary app.
Pricing:
- Free.
Bottom line: turn it on if you buy clothes from Amazon at all. Zero extra install cost, immediate return-window value.
3. Zeekit by Walmart, best for Walmart plus partners
Zeekit (acquired by Walmart) drives the Walmart app’s try-on layer as well as partner brands like Adidas that let you try items directly. The rendering quality sits between Amazon’s and Google’s, and Zeekit was the first to handle plus-size fit correctly on a large catalog.
Where it falls short: the interface still lives inside the Walmart app, which makes it awkward if Walmart is not one of your regular retailers.
Pricing:
- Free.
Bottom line: a solid pick for anyone who shops Walmart Fashion regularly. Skip if you do not.
4. ASOS Style Match, best for ASOS-only depth
ASOS Style Match takes a garment photo (yours or one from an inspiration source) and returns matching items from the ASOS catalog, then previews them on your reference photo. The on-device photo handling is stronger than any of the cloud-first apps: your reference photo never leaves the phone unless you tap share.
Where it falls short: ASOS-only. If you don’t shop at ASOS, the app has nothing to give you.
Pricing:
- Free.
Bottom line: the pick for people who shop ASOS deeply and want the most privacy-respectful of the try-on apps.
5. Wanna, best sneaker try-on
Wanna is the AR sneaker try-on that partners with Farfetch, Puma, Nike-adjacent retailers, and a growing list of independent brands. Point your camera at your feet, tap a shoe, and it renders on your foot in real time. Because sneakers benefit from AR rather than photo overlay, Wanna’s on-device rendering is faster and cleaner than the general-purpose apps.
Where it falls short: sneakers only. No clothing, no accessories.
Pricing:
- Free.
Bottom line: the sneaker specialist. Install it if you buy shoes online with any frequency.
6. Vue.ai, best for boutique retailer partners
Vue.ai is the try-on engine embedded in a lot of smaller and boutique retailer apps. The direct iOS app is a catalog rather than a store, but the underlying rendering shows up when you shop at supported brands like J. Crew and some LatAm-focused fashion retailers. If your favorite boutique offers try-on and you don’t know why, Vue.ai is often the engine.
Where it falls short: small catalog inside the direct app. Its value is mostly indirect, when the boutique you shop at uses it.
Pricing:
- Free.
Bottom line: install to discover boutique brands. The engine, not the store, is the real product.
How to pick the right one
Install Google Shopping try-on first — it covers the most retailers with the most convincing rendering. Amazon’s try-on is worth toggling on inside the app you already have. Add ASOS Style Match if you shop ASOS and care about privacy. Wanna is the sneaker install. Zeekit is Walmart-adjacent. Vue.ai is boutique-adjacent. Stack the ones that match where you actually spend money.
Stay away from any app that asks for a monthly subscription to render try-on. This category is competitive enough that the good ones are free.
FAQ
Where does my reference photo end up? Google Shopping and Amazon store your photo temporarily (24 hours or until you delete it), rendered server-side and then removed. ASOS Style Match and Wanna keep processing on-device. Read each app’s privacy note before uploading — Google’s iOS build makes this readable in the setup flow.
How accurate is the fit rendering? For structured pieces (blazers, denim, dresses), Google and Zeekit produce the most convincing preview. For casual pieces (T-shirts, hoodies), all six render acceptably. Sneakers on Wanna’s AR pipeline are the single most accurate category on iOS right now.
Do I need iPhone 15 Pro or later? No. Every app on this list runs on any current iPhone with iOS 17 or newer. The A-chip generation affects on-device rendering speed but not the cloud-rendered results.
Which app has the biggest clothing catalog? Google Shopping’s cross-retailer coverage is the largest by a wide margin. Amazon is second. Zeekit third.
Can I try clothes on friends or family? Yes. Any reference photo works. Some apps encourage a full-body photo of yourself for the best result; others accept any subject. Read app permissions before uploading someone else’s photo.
Is there a way to try clothes on before returning them? Google Shopping and Amazon both let you try items in your cart before completing the purchase. Some retailers (Nordstrom, Gap) also expose the try-on step at the product page itself, powered by Google or Vue.ai.
