Try On: The Future of Shopping Made Simple with AI
1. What Is the Basket Try On Feature?
A New Way to See Yourself in Fashion
Basket’s new Try On feature is changing the way we shop online. With just a single full-body photo, you can now visualise how an outfit looks on you directly from your mobile device. No guessing, no back-and-forth returns, just instant confidence before you buy.
Powered by AI Innovation for Realistic Previews
Using cutting-edge AI, the feature generates a realistic composite image of you wearing any Basket item that has a product image. Each preview feels natural, responsive, and ready to share delivering a lifelike, on-model experience within seconds.
2. Why Basket Introduced the Try On Experience
Bringing AI Innovation to Everyday Shoppers
Basket launched Try On to bring the magic of artificial intelligence to everyone not just tech enthusiasts. It’s designed to make fashion discovery easier, more personal, and a lot more fun.
Designed to Delight Users and Impress Investors
This feature also showcases Basket’s ability to innovate rapidly and deliver meaningful AI-powered experiences to users. While it’s the first version, its simplicity and speed demonstrate the brand’s focus on quality, privacy, and user delight.
3. How the Try On Feature Works Step-by-Step
Step 1: Accessing the Try On from the Basket App
Find the “Try On” option right in the main app navigation on iOS or Android. If you’re new to the feature, you may be guided through an age check and birthday confirmation before starting.
Step 2: Uploading Your Full-Length Photo
Upload one clear, full-body photo. Think of it as your digital fitting room mirror. Basket gives tips to ensure the best results: stand straight, wear fitted clothing, and use a well-lit background.
Step 3: Selecting Items to Virtually Try On
The feature automatically shows items from your Saved list or baskets that have at least one product image. You can switch baskets anytime to browse your other collections.
Step 4: Generating Your Personalised Preview
Once you’ve chosen an item, the AI gets to work combining your photo with the selected product image. The result is a realistic preview of how that item would look on you in seconds.
Step 5: Sharing, Buying, and Earning Cashback
Love what you see? Share or download your Try On with friends or family, tap ‘Share’ to start. You can even discover cashback offers available for that item, making your shopping smarter and more rewarding.
4. Key Features That Make Basket Try On Stand Out
Easy Navigation and Simple Setup
The entire process happens inline — no need to leave your browsing session or start from scratch. The app remembers your uploaded photo and your last selected basket for a seamless return experience.
Smart Image Recognition and Realistic Output
Basket’s Try On uses AI image fusion to create convincing visuals while maintaining your original photo’s quality and proportions.
Basket Watermark and Secure Sharing
Every shared Try On image includes a Basket watermark, ensuring brand authenticity and protection when shared on social media.
Persistent Image Storage for Each Item
Your latest successful Try On for each item is automatically saved — so the next time you tap that item, your preview loads instantly.
5. Built-In Privacy and Safety Controls
Age Gate and Parental Consent
Safety comes first. Users under 18 are guided through parental consent, while adults can access the feature directly after confirming their age.
Secure Storage of Photos and Generated Images
Basket stores each uploaded photo securely, along with generated images, ensuring they’re linked only to your account and never shared without your permission.
6. Why Shoppers Love the Basket Try On Experience
Fast, Fun, and Frictionless
From upload to result, the entire process takes seconds. You can even watch playful loading messages while the AI creates your look.
Confidence Before You Buy
No more guessing sizes or fits — you can see how each piece might look on your body type before purchasing.
Seamless Integration with Cashback and Sharing
Try On isn’t just fun — it’s functional. It connects your fashion discovery journey to purchasing, rewards, and social sharing all in one tap.
7. Behind the Scenes: The AI Technology Powering Try On
Gemini Flash and On-Device Model Exploration
Basket is experimenting with Gemini Flash 2.5 and other lightweight AI models to balance speed, quality, and efficiency.
Smart Caching for Instant Image Retrieval
The app remembers your last generated images for each item, ensuring near-instant loading the next time you revisit them.
Progressive Image Rendering for Smoother UX
High-quality images load progressively — meaning you’ll see a low-res preview first, followed by the crisp, full-resolution Try On.
8. Accessibility and Platform Availability
Try On for iOS and Android Users
Available now in the Basket app for both iOS and Android, the Try On experience is designed to feel native and effortless.

Basket tracks how many users try the feature and how often — to fine-tune usability and improve the experience.
Latency and User Satisfaction Tracking
By monitoring how quickly images generate and how users respond, Basket ensures the AI feels as fast as it is smart.

The more users share their Try On images, the more Basket learns about engagement and product popularity.
