Virtual Try On Glasses
Try glasses on virtually with your webcam. AR face tracking moves the frames with your head — pick a style, change the color, snap a photo. Free, private, runs entirely in your browser.

Virtual try on glasses is a browser tool that uses your webcam, MediaPipe face landmarks, and a 2D SVG overlay to simulate eyewear on your face in real time. The 478-point face mesh tracks your eye corners and nose bridge, so the frames stay glued to your face as you turn your head, lean closer, or tilt up. No app install. No data leaves your device.

How AR glasses try-on works
The first frame from your camera is fed to Google MediaPipe Face Landmarker, an open-source model that returns 478 3D points across your face. The tool reads three of them: the outer corner of each eye and the bridge of the nose. From those, it computes pupillary distance in screen pixels, head tilt angle, and the center point between your eyes. The selected glasses SVG is then translated, rotated, and scaled to match. Every frame the loop runs again — that is why the frames move with you.
Frame styles included
Thirteen shapes ship by default — round, square, oval, cat-eye, aviator, wayfarer, browline, rimless, half-rim, oversized, hexagon, sport, reading, and geometric. Round and aviator suit square or rectangular faces. Square and wayfarer balance round or oval faces. Cat-eye lifts heart-shaped faces. Browline (Clubmaster style) and oval suit oblong faces. Hexagon and geometric add personality to symmetrical faces. Sport wraps work for active use. Reading half-frames sit lower for over-the-top viewing. Use the size slider to scale (60–160%) and drag the glasses anywhere on your face for a precise fit; double-click resets.
Try-on tips for an accurate fit
Sit at arm's length from the camera with even lighting in front of you (a window or lamp behind you washes out face landmarks). Take off existing glasses if possible — the model can confuse old frames for face features. Look straight at the lens, not at your screen, when judging fit. Turn your head 30 degrees left and right to check that the temples sit naturally on each side. The lens-tint slider lets you preview sunglasses tints without changing frames.
How this compares to native try-on apps
Big eyewear retailers like Warby Parker and Zenni ship native iOS/Android apps with brand-specific frames and full 3D models. This tool is faster (no install, opens in any browser tab) and frame-agnostic (use it for sunglasses shopping anywhere), but the rendering is 2D SVG, not full 3D. For a final purchase decision on a specific frame, also check the retailer's own try-on. For quick browsing, screenshots, or sharing with friends — this is faster.
Privacy note
The MediaPipe model and SVG glasses are loaded from a public CDN once, then cached. After that, every face landmark inference happens inside your browser via WebAssembly. Your camera frames are never streamed anywhere. Snapshots are generated on a hidden canvas in your tab — they touch your filesystem only when you press Download.
