The short version
Upload one clear product photo, and AI makes a 3D model of it in a few minutes. It costs 25 AI credits — about $2 — and if no model can be made from the photo, you get the credits back.
The model does two jobs:
- It powers your virtual try-on. It goes through the usual fitting step, then shoppers see the product in 3D on themselves, turning as they move.
- It’s yours. Download the full-quality
.glbfile from the product page — or from your list of every model you’ve made — and use it on your own website, on marketplaces or in any 3D tool.
What a 3D model usually costs
3D product models are normally made by hand by a 3D artist, paid per model. Sketchfab, one of the largest 3D model platforms, puts the cost at:
| Model | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Simple product, made by hand | $40–$200 |
| Complex product, made by hand | $200–$1,000 |
| From one photo with TryItOnMe | about $2 |
There’s also the wait: a hand-made model means a brief, a quote and usually days of back and forth. On TryItOnMe it takes a few minutes, from a photo you already have.
For a catalogue of 100 rings, that’s roughly $200 instead of $4,000 or more.
Which products it works for
- Rings, earrings, bracelets and bangles — a 3D model gives the full wrap-around and sparkle from every angle. Switch on “Jewellery shine” for polished metal and stones that catch the light.
- Watches — the strap wraps all the way around the wrist.
- Glasses and sunglasses — though one front photo already becomes a 3D frame on TryItOnMe without using credits.
- Hats — hats need a 3D model, because a flat photo of a hat looks flat on a turning head.
How to get a good result
- One product, alone in the picture, fully in frame.
- In focus, evenly lit, on a plain background.
Where to use your model
- Your virtual try-on on TryItOnMe, on your product pages and try-on links.
- Your own product pages, in a 3D viewer next to your photos.
- Marketplaces and ads that accept 3D files.
- 3D tools, for renders, mock-ups and social content.
What it costs on TryItOnMe
AI credits are one balance for every AI feature, at $0.08 a credit, in packs from $8 for 100. They never expire. A 3D model uses 25 credits; an AI clothing photo uses 1. Your plan itself is priced by try-ons — never per product — with a free plan forever. See pricing.

Questions
How much does it cost to turn a product photo into a 3D model?
On TryItOnMe, 25 AI credits — about $2 at $0.08 a credit. If no model can be made from the photo, the credits come back. For comparison, Sketchfab puts a hand-made model at $40–$200 for a simple product and $200–$1,000 for a complex one.
Do I own the 3D model?
Yes. Every model AI makes for your store is yours. Download the full-quality .glb file from the product page, or from your list of all the models you’ve made, and use it wherever you like.
Which products can be turned into 3D models?
Rings, earrings, bracelets and bangles, watches, glasses and sunglasses, and hats — the products where a 3D model makes the try-on look real as the shopper moves.
What photo do I need?
One clear photo of the product on its own, in focus, on a plain background, with the whole product in frame.
Can I use the model outside TryItOnMe?
Yes. A .glb file works in most web 3D viewers, on marketplaces that accept 3D, and in 3D design tools.
