# Your product on a model, from a hanger photo.

Virtual try-on turns a product photo taken on a hanger or with the product laid flat into a studio-model image. The brief tells Herofab to preserve the fabric, buttons and print.

## What goes into a try-on and what the brief protects

Virtual try-on starts from a photo of the front of the product; a photo of the back and a close-up of a detail can be added. The person is a ready-made model, a saved model or a model photo the seller confirms permission to use; where none is selected, the model can be set to a woman or a man. Size, pose, expression, background, format and resolution are set in the same step.

The brief names what has to survive the new image. For a garment: every print, logo and line of text, character for character; the number and position of buttons, zips and pockets; the weave and pattern scale; the colours; and the cut, with its sleeve length, hem length and collar. This is an instruction to the image model, not a promise of an identical copy.

## When Virtual try-on fits and when a neighbouring tool does

Virtual try-on fits when buyers should see the product on a person. A garment is shown in the chosen pose, with plain neutral clothing or the seller's own outfit pieces completing the look. Accessories are framed for their size: a bag is carried, headwear is shown from the waist up, shoes in a frame of the legs and feet, glasses and jewelry in a close-up. For shoes, glasses and jewelry the pose and the back view are not used.

Ghost mannequin shows a garment with a hollow-body shape or as a flat lay, with no person in the frame, and takes garments only. Product studio photographs a product as an object, with no people or mannequins and at most a hand that holds it. Change pose redraws the person of a finished on-model image in another pose, without a new upload. Create model generates the person alone, to be saved to the library and selected here.

## What to check in a try-on image before publishing

Compare the product with its photo first. Read small lettering at full size, count the buttons and pockets, and check the collar, the sleeve length and the hem. On trousers, jeans and skirts photographed folded, look at the waistband: the brief asks for one waistband on the front, with no patch or label from the back of the garment on it.

The brief asks for one anatomically correct person in a single photograph. A tote or shoulder bag is briefed to hang from one shoulder, not around the neck, and to appear once; a second bag in the frame is a reason to generate again. At a location the brief asks for no other people, not even in the distance. With an uploaded background, compare the perspective and the direction of the light with that image.

## Virtual try-on, answered.

**Is Herofab good for virtual try-on of clothing?**

Yes, for clothing try-on images from a product photo. Herofab puts clothing on a studio model and is briefed to keep the fabric, buttons and print. Check small lettering, fit and details turned away from the camera in the result.

**What kind of photo do I need?**

A clear photo of the front of the product. A hanger, a bed or a sofa is enough; no mannequin or studio is needed. A photo that shows only the back, or a product still in its packaging, is flagged before a credit is spent.

**Can I use my own model?**

Yes, a model you work with: upload a photo of the model and confirm that you have their permission. You can also save any generated model to your library and use it across a whole collection.

**Does the print stay the same?**

Every image is briefed to keep the product unchanged. Where a print can be matched, the real print is carried over from your photo; back prints stay on the back and inside labels stay inside.

**Where should I look first before I publish?**

At very small lettering, fine logos and detailed prints. Where a print can be matched it is carried over from your photo; where it cannot, it is redrawn and worth a close look. The fit follows the size you choose — it is not a measurement of how the garment fits a real body.

**How do I get on-model clothing photos without a photoshoot?**

Photograph the front of the garment on a hanger or laid flat on a bed or a sofa, fully visible, and upload it to Virtual try-on; add the back if it carries a print and a close-up for small details. Choose a ready-made model, one you created, or a model photo you have permission to use, then set the size, the pose and the background. Herofab dresses the model in the garment and is briefed to keep the fabric, buttons and print.

**Can I use the images commercially?**

Yes. Herofab does not claim ownership of the images it generates for you, and they may be used for any lawful purpose, including commercially. Depending on the law of your country, AI-generated images may not be protected by copyright, so Herofab cannot promise exclusive rights in them. Every delivered image carries the IPTC marker for AI-generated media inside the file.

**Can a back view be made without a photo of the back?**

A back view of its own, and the back image of a front and back set, need a photo of the back of the garment: without that photo they are not made, and with it the brief reproduces the back from the photo. The two images of a set are briefed to show the same person in the same clothes on the same backdrop.

**Can the model wear my own trousers or shoes with the product?**

Yes. A top, a bottom and shoes can each be supplied as an outfit piece, and anything not supplied is briefed to stay plain and neutral. A piece that would replace the product is not accepted, such as an outfit top when the product is a top or a dress.

**How much does it cost?**

5 credits per image, plus one credit for 4K. In US dollars that is $0.20 to $0.60 per image before tax, from the largest plan to the smallest credit pack. The cost is shown before you generate, and if a job fails the credits are returned. The 20 free credits at sign-up cover 4 images with this tool.
