Previously, searching for clothes and attire worn by artists or celebrities was a highly complex task so you could know the type, buy it, and therefore use it personally.
Fortunately, that was in the past and today, thanks to advances in artificial intelligence-powered scanning technology, it is possible to use it in various apps that can help you find similar or even identical patterns to what you are looking for on the internet. In fact, there are 4 specific apps that allow you to find clothes based on pictures, so without further ado, let’s go to them.
In case you don’t know, Google’s recognition tool called Google Lens has the ability to recognize clothes, necklaces, watches, and any type of personal accessories or clothes in general. However, you just need to place a picture of the dress in the frame shown on the screen, and if it successfully matches, the app will highlight the dress with a small blue icon.
So, after clicking on the mentioned blue circle, Lens will display a Google Shopping page where you can see links to different websites (such as Amazon, for example) where it will be possible to purchase the item. It’s definitely a great tool.
A visual search engine platform that allows you to find clothes from pictures in a simple way. In fact, the basic process you need to follow is: take a picture of the outfit you want to search for, give the app a few seconds to process the search, and that’s it, you will see the results by CamFind.
In general, it involves providing a product description you searched for, relevant YouTube videos, shopping links, price comparisons, language translation, among other features. It may be a little slower than Google Lens, but it is also one of the best apps in this category.
Amazon also owns its own visual search engine app focused on clothes, so you can find the item you want just by taking a picture of it. It goes by the name StyleSnap and you can access it by clicking on the camera icon in the search bar in the Amazon app and then clicking on StyleSnap.
Once you click there, the app will start displaying the camera so you can point it at the dress or item you want to scan. You even have the option to upload an image from your photo gallery. Finally, if the product is available on Amazon, you can go to recommended product listings.
Last but not least is the famous Pinterest app. Yes, this app contains a visual search tool called Lens, which allows you to search for clothes you want among thousands of posts on the social networking platform.
Additionally, Pinterest also displays shopping links for matching products, which will surely be helpful if you find anything similar to what you are looking for that will work for you. To do this, Pinterest collaborates with ShopStyle, a fashion and lifestyle shopping platform, so you won’t find Amazon links there.
