  Roughly [two-thirds of online eyewear returns](https://luna.io/blog/improve-online-engagement-and-conversion-with-fit-first-shopping-experiences/)
  come down to fit, and [47% of shoppers](https://alhena.ai/blog/ai-eyewear-optical-ecommerce/)
  don't have their measurements at hand when buying. Studio photography shows the frame on its
  own or on a model, so shoppers can't see how it looks on their own face.

  Genlook shows the frame on the shopper's own photo: its shape, color and thickness next to their
  features. It doesn't measure the face, so keep frame, lens and bridge measurements on the product
  page for sizing. It works for optical and sun frames. The
  [live demo](https://demo.genlook.app) shows how frames and lens coatings render, and
  [what virtual try-on is](/glossary/virtual-try-on) covers the underlying technology.

<Faq label="07 · Eyewear, specifically" title="Asked by eyewear brands.">
  <FaqItem question="Do shoppers need to download an app to try frames on?">
    No. Genlook runs in the browser on the product page, on phones and desktops. Shoppers upload a front-facing photo or take one with their camera.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Does try-on show the exact frame size?">
    No. Try-on shows how the frame looks on the shopper's face: its shape, color and style. It doesn't measure the face. List frame width, lens width and bridge measurements on the product page for sizing.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Will reflective or tinted lenses render correctly?">
    Yes. Tints and reflections are preserved, including mirrored coatings. A clean product photo on a white background gives the best results.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Can I disable try-on on specific products?">
    Yes. You can turn try-on on or off per product or per collection from the dashboard, which is useful for cases and cleaning cloths.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="Are shoppers' photos private?">
    Yes. Photos are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train AI models, and deleted automatically after 7 days.
  </FaqItem>
  <FaqItem question="What does it cost?">
    Genlook has a Free plan with 10 try-ons a month, and no card is required. Paid plans include more try-ons each month. Shoppers who only browse don't use any try-ons.
