Google's Doppl app took off my socks
I just tried on five different outfits in about 10 minutes — or at least my AI lookalike did. That's all thanks to Doppl, a new app that Google is testing, which I used to create AI-generated clips of myself wearing outfits that I found across the web. It mostly works, but it has clear issues putting pants on photos of me wearing shorts, and it even replaced my mismatched socks with AI-generated feet in one instance. Using the app is pretty simple. All you need is a screenshot of the outfit you want to try on — whether it's from Pinterest, Instagram, or another online source — along with a full-body photo of yourself in bright light, a natural pose, and no hat. Once you upload both, you can have Doppl generate a still image of you wearing the outfit. It takes a little while to generate, but once it does, you can hit the animate icon to add a random animation, which could show you tossing up the peace sign, smiling and waving to the camera, or striking another type of pose. I uploaded a simple photo of myself wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and socks. For my first try-on session, I selected one of Google's sample outfits. The app portrayed the white and blue striped shirt pretty accurately, but it gave me red shorts instead of skinny jeans and wrapped what should've been jeans around my calves, as if I were wearing leg warmers. Another outfit I screenshotted included a pair of distressed jeans. Once again, Doppl only included the button half of the pants, while making my shirt extra long and ending around where my shorts do in real life. Things got even weirder when I fed Doppl an outfit that showed someone from the knees up, wearing a striped button-down shirt and long, striped shorts. Instead of generating a similar outfit, it made the shorts even shorter and gave me a pair of somewhat convincing fake feet. Even though some of the other outfits I uploaded to Doppl didn't show the wearer's shoes, it still generated some kind of footwear for those looks. (Who knows, maybe Google's AI just thought the outfit would look good with bare feet?) During my testing, I found that Doppl wouldn't allow me to upload pictures of more revealing outfits I found on the web, like someone wearing a bikini. It also wouldn't let my colleague, Marina Galperina, upload an image of President Donald Trump. Those guardrails might make it more difficult for someone to create fake images of public figures or generate explicit images of a person. However, a strange pattern emerged when Marina and I uploaded mirror selfies of ourselves to the app to virtually try on outfits. Instead of staying relatively close to what we look like in real life, Doppl made both of our lookalikes thinner, to the point where we resembled bobblehead figures. The problem didn't appear when I used other full-body photos of myself that were taken by someone else. Google has had a virtual try-on feature for a couple years now, but it expanded that earlier this year by allowing you to upload a photo of yourself and use AI to put you in a shirt, dress, skirt, or a pair of pants that you come across in Google's search results. Doppl is an even bigger leap, as it lets you try on even more kinds of clothes from different sources around the web and can turn it into a video, too. If Google can fix some of the tool's quirks, I can see it being a handy way to imagine yourself in an outfit you find online. You can try out Doppl now by downloading the app on Android or iOS.

Google unveils Doppl that styles outfits virtually; offers animated videos
Post sign-up, the user has to upload a full-body picture to try on new looks. Doppl allows recommendations for choosing a picture in the 'Tips for great results' option. Once the picture is ready, the user can upload an image or screenshot of outfits they would like to try on, whether it be an outfit from social media, a blog, or even a friend. Once the inspiration look is uploaded, tap on the animate button to see your look in motion with a short video. The new look can be saved in a camera roll and shared with others. Agencies Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Tech giant Google unveiled a new experimental app called Doppl on Thursday in the United States, which helps users virtually style their outfits and access animated versions of a product of Google Labs , allows a virtual try-on to 'visualise how an outfit might look on you.' The application is available on both iOS and Android the app is in the experimental stage, it offers limited choices. Users can try on outfits such as tops, bottoms, and items, such as shoes, lingerie, bathing suits, and accessories, are not supported. These include costumes as well as many traditional, religious, and cultural outfits that may not work can explore styles and add missing elements other than tops, bottoms, and dresses to complete the look, which the company calls 'imagined items.' Whereas 'default outfit' lets you pick a basic look in case the outfit provided by the user is not supported.'While generated images can help you visualise how an item might look on you, they don't provide a representation of fit, suggest a size, or indicate size availability," the company development follows Google Shopping , which allows virtual try-on features of clothing items just by uploading a picture. However, Doppl follows the age restrictions of over 18 years.

Google's new AI app Doppl lets you try on outfits virtually
To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Google Labs is making virtual outfit try ons available to all with a new experimental AI app called Doppl, the company announced in a blog post. You can upload a photo of yourself and any outfit to see how it will look on you and can even create an AI-generated video of yourself and the clothing in motion. To use it, first upload a full-body photo of yourself, then choose photos or screen shots of outfits. For instance, you can screenshot or download photos from sources like Pinterest or clothing websites, or take photos of clothing from locations like thrift stores. You could even snap a photo of a friend wearing a desired outfit. Once the outfit is selected, Doppl (short for doppelgänger one imagines) will create an AI-generated image of you wearing it even and convert the static image into a moving video. You can continue to browse through outfits, save your favorites and share different looks. It may not work perfectly for you — Google pointed out that "Doppl is in its early days and... fit, appearance and clothing details may not always be accurate." Google recently unveiled a similar try-on feature for its Shopping experience, but Doppl works strictly as a standalone app. It looks like the kind of thing people could have some fun with, particularly on social media, but it may also aid Google in gathering data on users' buying and shopping habits. The app is now available on iOS and Android, but only in the US for now. If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.

Google launches AI-powered Doppl app to let users try outfits virtually
Google has launched a new experimental app called Doppl, designed to let users virtually try on clothes using artificial intelligence. The app creates a digital version of the user to simulate how different outfits might look in real life, complete with video previews and sharing options. Doppl is currently available for both iOS and Android users in the United States. Doppl app: How it works To get started, users upload a photo of themselves to the app. They can then choose images of clothing—whether from online stores, photos of friends' outfits, or social media screenshots—to visualise how those clothes would look on them. Once an outfit is selected, Doppl generates a realistic image of the user wearing it. It can also turn static images into AI-generated videos, offering a more dynamic view of how the clothing fits and moves. Google notes that Doppl is still in its early stages, launched under its Labs initiative. The company cautions that results may not always be accurate in terms of fit, appearance, or clothing details. Users can save their favourite outfits, browse past try-ons, and share their virtual looks with friends. While it builds upon Google Shopping's earlier virtual try-on tool, Doppl personalises the experience by letting users see the clothes on a virtual version of themselves. Google AI Mode Virtual try-on At the Google I/O event last month, Google introduced upgrades to AI Mode, including smart shopping tools that show personalised products and also expanded its virtual try-on feature, which lets users try on billions of clothing items on their own image, simply by uploading a photo. Google Search's AI Mode was previously limited to the US; however, the AI-powered web search feature has now expanded to more regions including India. The feature is available as an experiment in Labs and is currently available in English only.

Google Doppl AI dresser changer app launched: Here's how to change clothes in photos
Trying on clothes might soon require nothing more than a smartphone. Google has introduced a new app called Doppl, designed to let users see how outfits might look on them without entering a fitting room. The app, launched on June 26, is part of Google Labs, a platform where Google tests new and experimental features with users. Doppl enables users to view clothing on a digital, animated version of themselves. The experience builds on the earlier try-on feature introduced by Google Shopping, which allowed shoppers to preview clothing items by uploading a photo. Doppl takes this concept further by converting static images into motion visuals, which will help users get a better sense of how outfits might look in real life. With Doppl, users can test tops, bottoms, and dresses, and even create and save their favourite looks. They can revisit these looks or share them with friends. The app also allows users to upload images of clothes found on social media or in local stores to see how the items might suit them. By using a personal photo, Doppl's AI generates a short animated video of the outfit on the user's virtual version. However, there are some limitations. The app does not currently support try-ons for shoes, swimwear, lingerie, or accessories. Being an experimental product, Doppl may occasionally produce incomplete results. For instance, if a user uploads a photo showing only a top, the app might automatically generate matching pants or shoes, even if they were not part of the original image. Google stated that visual accuracy is still being improved and that users might notice inconsistencies in clothing fit or appearance. Doppl is available for download on both Android and iOS, but is currently limited to users in the U.S. Google has not yet announced plans to expand the app to other regions. This release follows Google's earlier virtual try-on technology introduced in 2023, which showed clothing on a variety of models. The launch of Doppl also comes amid growing competition in AI-driven shopping apps, such as Glance AI, which let users find new products using artificial intelligence.
