Virtual Sunglasses Try On

How it works

1. 1. Photograph the frames

   Front-on with the temples open. Avoid shooting into a window — the lenses will show it.

2. 2. Pick a model or a product angle

   On-model shows fit; the product angle set gives you the conventional five PDP views.

3. 3. Generate and download

   One free watermarked image; an account gives full resolution.

Why this is worth getting right

Lens treatment is the highest-failure attribute in eyewear photography and the one buyers are most specific about. A gradient tint is dark at the top and clears toward the bottom, and the direction is not decorative — it is what makes a driving lens a driving lens. Generators flatten gradients into a single tone constantly, and a flattened gradient is a materially different product from the one being sold. Mirror coatings fail differently: a mirror is a mirror, so the correct render shows the environment in it, and a coating rendered as flat opaque colour looks like a cheap plastic lens rather than the finish it is. The second problem is scale and position on the face. Frames have a stated lens width, bridge width and temple length, and they must sit on the bridge of the nose with the temples passing above the ears — a render where the temples cross in front of the ear is instantly wrong to anyone who wears glasses, and it is a common failure because the ear is a complicated occlusion boundary. Third is frame geometry itself. Lens shape, bridge style and temple taper are the design, and a render that rounds a square lens or widens a keyhole bridge has changed the product. Fourth, and specific to eyewear commerce: the temple logo. Branding on eyewear lives on the outside of the temple arm in small text, it is high-value and it is exactly the scale at which text generation fails. Finally, the photographer’s own reflection: a flat frontal shot of a mirrored or dark lens shows the camera and whoever is holding it, which is the most common self-inflicted problem in DIY eyewear photography.

Tips that actually help

• Shoot with the temples fully open and both visible. A frame photographed folded gives no information about temple length or taper, which are part of the fit.
• Never shoot lenses square to a window. Dark and mirrored lenses reflect the room, and the photographer appears in the middle of the product.
• Photograph a gradient lens upright and in frame entirely so the direction of the gradient is unambiguous in the source.
• Get the temple logo sharp and side-on in at least one shot. Small text is where generation fails, and it is a high-value detail for branded eyewear.
• Include a side-profile view. The way a temple tapers and where the hinge sits are visible only from the side, and buyers use them to judge quality.

Who uses this

Eyewear PDPs

The convention is four or five angles — front, three-quarter, side, folded, overhead. Generating them as a set gives a complete listing from one photo.

Independent frame brands

Booking face models for every colourway is not viable at small volumes. Generating on-model shots keeps the range visually consistent.

Optical retail

Stocking hundreds of frames means hundreds of product shots. A consistent template across the catalogue makes browsing coherent.

Lens option previews

Showing the same frame with different tints is a common request, and re-shooting for each tint is impractical.

Perguntas frequentes

Will a gradient tint survive?

The gradient direction is measured and flagged if it flattens or reverses. Photograph the lens upright and fully in frame so the direction is unambiguous in the source.

What about mirror coatings?

A mirror should show its environment. A coating rendered as flat opaque colour is a known failure and is what the gradient and tint checks look for.

Will the frames sit correctly on the face?

They are placed on the nose bridge with the temples passing above the ears. Temples crossing in front of the ear is the classic failure and is what the prompt specifically guards against.

Does my temple logo stay legible?

Small text is the weakest area in any generation. It is flagged rather than blocked, so check it before publishing — get a sharp side-on source shot to give it the best chance.

How do I avoid my own reflection in the lens?

Do not shoot square to a window or a bright source. Angle the frames slightly and light from the side, which is also better for showing the frame profile.

Can I generate the full PDP angle set?

Yes — front, three-quarter, side, folded and overhead as one set, which is the conventional eyewear listing and is priced as a set rather than five singles.

Does it work for prescription and blue-light frames?

Yes. Clear lenses are actually easier than tinted ones, since there is no gradient or coating to preserve.
