# AI Glasses Try On

> 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.

## In depth

### 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.
- Round: Circular lenses, often in thin metal or acetate. Often suggested for: Square and oblong faces. Prompt words: "thin round gold metal glasses with clear lenses".
- Rectangle: Lenses wider than they are tall, with straight lines. Often suggested for: Round, oval, heart and diamond faces. Prompt words: "slim rectangular black acetate glasses".
- Square: Bold, squared-off lenses with thicker rims. Often suggested for: Round and oval faces. Prompt words: "thick square tortoiseshell acetate glasses".
- Oval: Soft oval lenses with no hard corners. Often suggested for: Square, heart and diamond faces. Prompt words: "thin oval silver wire-frame glasses".
- Cat-eye: Outer top corners swept up and out. Often suggested for: Diamond and triangle faces. Prompt words: "black acetate cat-eye glasses with upswept outer corners".
- Aviator: Teardrop lenses, a metal frame and a double bridge. Often suggested for: Triangle faces. Prompt words: "gold metal aviator glasses with a double bridge and clear lenses".
- Browline: A bold top rim with thin metal around the bottom of the lenses. Often suggested for: Diamond and triangle faces. Prompt words: "browline glasses: a black acetate top rim and thin silver metal under the lenses".
- Rimless: Lenses with no rim, held by a thin bridge and arms. Often suggested for: Square, heart and diamond faces. Prompt words: "rimless glasses: clear lenses with no frame around them, thin silver bridge and arms".
- Oversized: Large lenses that cover more of the face. Often suggested for: Oblong and square faces. Prompt words: "oversized round clear crystal acetate glasses".
- Geometric: Hexagonal or other angular lens shapes. Often suggested for: Round faces. Prompt words: "thin gold hexagonal metal glasses".

### 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.

### How do I find my face shape?
Look straight into a mirror or at a front-facing photo and compare four things:
- Forehead: is it wider than your jaw?
- Cheekbones: are they the widest part of your face?
- Jaw: is it rounded, pointed or angular?
- Length: is your face clearly longer than it is wide?
- Wide forehead and a narrow chin reads as heart; wide cheekbones with a narrow forehead and chin as diamond; a strong jaw as square; length as oblong. Most faces are a mix — use the table as a starting point and let the preview decide.

### What can't an AI try-on tell me?
A picture answers how a style looks on you. These need a person with the right tools:
- Frame size: lens width, bridge width and arm length, in millimetres, printed inside the arm.
- Pupillary distance (PD): the distance between your pupils, which centres the lenses on your eyes.
- Fit: whether the bridge and nose pads sit comfortably and the arms hold without pinching.
- Prescription and lenses: an eye test by an optometrist or ophthalmologist, then lens choice with an optician — especially for varifocals or strong prescriptions.

### How do I write a glasses try-on prompt?
Four parts are enough:
- The shape: “round”, “cat-eye with upswept corners”, “aviator with a double bridge”, “rimless”.
- The material and colour: “thin gold metal”, “thick tortoiseshell acetate”, “clear crystal”, “matte black”.
- The lenses: “clear lenses with a soft reflection”, or a tint for sunglasses.
- What must not change: “keep my eyes, eye colour, face, expression, hair, background and lighting exactly the same”.

## FAQ
Q: How do I try on glasses with AI?
A: 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.

Q: Is the AI glasses try on free?
A: 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.

Q: Which glasses suit my face shape?
A: 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.

Q: Can I try on a specific pair of glasses I found online?
A: 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.

Q: Is an AI glasses try on accurate enough to buy glasses?
A: 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.

Q: What do the numbers on glasses frames mean?
A: 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.

Q: Can I try on sunglasses too?
A: 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.

Q: Will the try-on change my eyes or face?
A: 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.

Q: Who measures and fits glasses?
A: 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.

Q: Can I try glasses on someone else's photo?
A: 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.
