Ever wanted to see how clothes like shirts and trousers look on you before buying? I did too. But I don’t know to code much—just the AI basics. I tried some platforms that seemed pricey, so I used Google AI Studio. It helped me build a full virtual try-on app where users can upload their full-body picture and try different outfits.
Here’s exactly how I built and shared my app online for free. You can do this too!
How I Created a Virtual Try-On App Without Coding
Building a virtual try-on app might sound complicated, especially if you don’t have a technical background. But with the help of AI platforms like Google AI Studio, it’s becoming easier for anyone to create powerful tools that let you see how clothes look on you without trying them on in person. This app I made lets users upload their full-body image and try on shirts and trousers virtually—giving a complete outfit preview.
This guide breaks down the whole process, from building the app through Google AI Studio to getting it online for free with GitHub and Vercel. Each step is simple, and you’ll get ideas on what to include in your own project if you want to try it yourself.
Step 1: Open Google AI Studio
Go to https://aistudio.google.com/. This platform lets you build AI-powered apps easily by giving simple commands.
Step 2: Write Your Prompt for the AI
I typed this prompt into the project:
- “Build a Virtual Try-On AI web app.”
- “Use Gemini API key.”
- “Add upload for shirts and trousers.”
- “Allow full-body picture upload.”
- “Keep the Gemini API key secure and outside the app.”
Then I let AI generate the code.
Step 3: Test the Virtual Try-On Tool
In Google AI Studio, I previewed the app. I uploaded my own full-body photo, then uploaded shirt and trouser images. The app matched these to show how the clothes look on me.
Step 4: Secure Your API Key
Before sharing the app, set your Gemini API key as an environment variable rather than hard-coding it inside the app code. This keeps your key safe.

Step 5: Upload Your Project to GitHub
Create a GitHub account at github.com. Make a new repository and upload all your project files either through GitHub’s website or Git tools.
Step 6: Deploy Your App Free on Vercel
Vercel hosts your app for free and makes it public online. Steps:
- Register at vercel.com.
- “Import Project” from your GitHub repository.
- Set environment variables (like your API key) in Vercel.
- Click “Deploy”.
- Wait until deployment finishes.
- Get your live app URL (like https://virtual-try-on-2-three.vercel.app/).
Step 7: Share and Use Your Virtual Try-On App
Now you and others can:
- Upload full-body pictures.
- Try on different shirts and trousers.
- See full outfits before buying.

Why This Tool Stands Out
Unlike simple try-ons, this app works for both upper and bottom wear, so you get a full look. It shows how AI tools like Google AI Studio can help anyone create smart applications without coding skills or big budgets.
Try out your ideas, share your new app, and see how easy it can be!
