AI Glasses Try On — see frames on your own selfie

Upload a selfie and an AI edit puts the frames you name on your face — round, cat-eye, aviator, rimless or a pair you found online — while your eyes, face and background stay as they are. It shows the look. Size, fit and lenses still come from an optician.

How do I try on glasses with AI?

To try on glasses with AI, upload a clear, front-facing selfie to an AI image editor and name the frames — for example "thin black round metal glasses with clear lenses; keep my eyes and face the same". Kenerate's AI glasses try on opens the editor with that instruction filled in, so you add your photo and press Create, then swap in cat-eye, aviator, rimless or square frames on the same picture. It's a visual preview, not a fitting: frame size, pupillary distance and your prescription come from an optician or optometrist.

Frame styles

Which glasses suit my face shape? Frame styles and the words that get them

Copy the prompt words into the editor. The face-shape column is a retailer's rule of thumb (Eyebuydirect's face-shape guide), not a clinical rule — most faces mix shapes, and the preview on your own photo is the real test.

How to use the AI glasses try on

Time needed
Steps
4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Open the glasses try-on

    Press “Add your photo”. Image Studio opens with a round-frame instruction in the prompt box. Sign in free for starter credits.

  2. Step 2

    Upload your selfie

    Add a clear, front-facing photo of yourself at eye level, eyes open, without the glasses you wear now.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the frames

    Keep the round frames or swap in the prompt words for cat-eye, aviator, rimless or another style from the table. For a real pair, add its product photo as a second image.

  4. Step 4

    Create and compare

    Press Create, try two or three styles on the same photo and download the ones you like without a watermark. Take your favourite to an optician for sizing.

Tips

Get a try-on that looks worn, not pasted on

What makes the frames sit on your face like a real pair.

  • Use a sharp, front-facing selfie at eye level, with your eyes open and your hair off your face.

  • Take off the glasses you wear now, or say “replace my glasses with…” so the model doesn't stack two pairs.

  • Name the shape, the material and the colour: “thin gold metal”, “thick tortoiseshell acetate”, “clear crystal”.

  • Keep “clear lenses” and “keep my eyes and eye colour the same” so your eyes still show through.

  • Trying a pair you found online? Add its product photo as the second image and say “put these exact glasses on me”.

  • Want sunglasses? Add “dark grey tinted lenses” to any frame — and compare two or three styles on the same photo.

FAQ

AI Glasses Try On questions

How do I try on glasses with AI?

Upload a clear, front-facing selfie and press Create. Image Studio opens with an instruction already filled in — thin black round metal glasses with clear lenses, sized naturally, keeping your eyes, face and background the same — and the model draws the frames onto your face. Swap the style words to compare cat-eye, aviator, rimless or square frames on the same photo.

Is the AI glasses try on free?

Free to start. A new Kenerate account gets 25 credits on sign-up, and Qwen Image 3.0, the default model here, is on the free plan; an edit with your selfie costs 9.9 credits, so the starter credits cover two tries. Seedream 5.0 Pro, Nano Banana 2.1 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst use credits from one-time packs — there's no subscription. Downloads carry no watermark.

Which glasses suit my face shape?

As a rule of thumb, frames that contrast with your face shape tend to balance it. Eyebuydirect's face-shape guide suggests rectangular, square or geometric frames for round faces; round, oval or rimless frames for square faces; aviator, cat-eye and browline frames for triangle faces; and oversized or round frames for long faces — and says an oval face suits almost anything. Most faces mix shapes, so try a few styles on your own photo.

Can I try on a specific pair of glasses I found online?

Yes, as a picture. Upload your selfie and the frame's product photo, and write “put these exact glasses on me, same shape, colour and bridge, keep my face the same”. Qwen Image 3.0 takes up to 3 images; with two the edit costs 10.8 credits. The model sizes the frame by eye, so it shows the style, not whether that frame's real size fits your face — many retailers also offer their own live camera try-on for their frames.

Is an AI glasses try on accurate enough to buy glasses?

It's accurate enough to choose a style, not to buy a fit. An image model doesn't measure your face, your pupillary distance (PD) or the frame, so the picture can't tell you whether lenses will be centred or the bridge will sit right. The College of Optometrists advises caution when buying spectacles online: a study it funded found online pairs twice as likely to fail optical tolerance tests, often because of self-measured PD. Get measured by an optician.

What do the numbers on glasses frames mean?

Most frames have three numbers printed inside one arm, all in millimetres: lens width, bridge width and temple (arm) length — for example 48-19-140. If you own a pair that fits well, its numbers are a good starting point for a new frame. An AI preview doesn't use these numbers, so check them against the frame you plan to buy.

Can I try on sunglasses too?

Yes. Add the lens colour to any frame: “dark grey tinted lenses”, “brown gradient lenses” or “mirrored blue lenses”. Tinted lenses hide your eyes, so for comparing frame shapes, try clear lenses first and add the tint once you've picked a shape.

Will the try-on change my eyes or face?

It shouldn't. The instruction asks the model to keep your eyes, eye colour, face, expression, skin, hair, background and lighting exactly the same, and instruction-based editors repaint what you name. If a run changes your eyes or smooths your skin, run it again or add “do not retouch anything else”. To change your eye colour on purpose, use the eye color changer.

Who measures and fits glasses?

An optometrist or ophthalmologist tests your eyes and writes the prescription; an optician fits the frames and lenses. The American Academy of Ophthalmology describes opticians as trained to design, verify and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, adding that they do not test vision or write prescriptions. Bring your AI previews along to show the styles you like.

Can I try glasses on someone else's photo?

Only on your own photo, or one the person has agreed to. A try-on still edits a real person's likeness, so share the result only with their consent. Never upload photos of anyone under 18, and don't edit photos of public figures; Kenerate's content rules apply to every edit.

AI Glasses Try On, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.

How does an AI glasses try on work?

It's an instruction edit, not a sticker or a live camera filter. Your selfie and one sentence go to an image model's edit endpoint; the model draws frames that follow the angle of your face, rest on your nose and go back over your ears, with reflections that match the light in your photo. The rest of the picture stays as it was.

Add a second image — a product photo of a real frame — and the model copies that frame's shape and colour onto you. It works from pictures only, so it doesn't know the frame's real size.
