# Does Virtual Try-On Work on Mobile?

> Yes, Looksy virtual try-on is fully optimized for mobile devices. Learn how it works on smartphones and tablets for Shopify stores.

## Yes, Virtual Try-On Works Perfectly on Mobile

Looksy is designed mobile-first and works seamlessly on smartphones and tablets. Since over 70% of Shopify traffic comes from mobile devices, mobile optimization is a core priority.

## How It Works on Mobile

### Simple Mobile Flow

1. **Customer visits a product page** on their mobile device
2. **Taps "Try On"** – The button is optimized for touch
3. **Uploads a selfie** – Can take a photo with their camera or upload from their photo library
4. **Sees the result** – The virtual try-on renders in seconds, optimized for mobile screens

### No App Required

Looksy runs directly in the mobile browser using **WebAR technology**. Customers don't need to:

* Download an app
* Create an account
* Leave your store

This reduces friction and increases engagement.

## Mobile Performance

### Fast Loading Times

* **Optimized for mobile networks** – Works on 4G and 5G
* **Lightweight processing** – Doesn't drain battery
* **Quick renders** – Results appear in 15-20 seconds on average

### Responsive Design

The try-on experience automatically adapts to:

* Different screen sizes (iPhone, Android, tablets)
* Portrait and landscape orientations
* Various mobile browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox)

## Mobile Device Requirements

### Compatible Devices

Looksy works on:

* **iOS devices:** iPhone 7 and newer (iOS 13+)
* **Android devices:** Most modern smartphones (Android 8+)
* **Tablets:** iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and other tablets

### Camera Requirements

For best results:

* **Front or rear camera** (either works)
* **5MP or higher resolution** (most modern phones exceed this)
* **Full body shot** – Shows complete garment placement

<Tip>
  Full body shots work best. Make sure only one person is in the photo.
</Tip>

## Mobile vs. Desktop Experience

### Mobile Advantages

* **Camera access** – Easier to take selfies directly
* **Convenience** – Try on anywhere, anytime
* **Higher usage** – More customers shop on mobile

### Desktop Experience

Desktop works great too, but requires:

* Uploading a photo from their computer
* Or using a webcam to take a photo

**Both experiences are fully supported.**

## Common Mobile Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does it work on older phones?">
    Looksy works best on devices from the last 5 years. Very old phones (iPhone 6 and earlier, Android 7 and earlier) may experience slower performance but should still function.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to allow camera access?">
    If customers want to take a selfie directly, they'll need to grant camera permission. They can also upload an existing photo without camera access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will it slow down my mobile site?">
    No. Looksy is optimized for minimal impact on page load speed. The virtual try-on only activates when a customer clicks the button, so it doesn't affect overall site performance.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does it work on all mobile browsers?">
    Yes. Looksy is compatible with Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Samsung Internet on mobile. It uses standard web technologies that work across browsers.

## Optimizing Mobile Experience

### For Merchants

To maximize mobile engagement:

* **Place the button prominently** – Above the fold on product pages
* **Use clear, tappable buttons** – Make it obvious and easy to click
* **Test on your own phone** – Experience the flow as a customer would
* **Promote mobile usage** – Mention "Try On your phone" in marketing

### For Customers

For the best mobile try-on experience:

* Use a **full body shot** – Shows complete garment placement
* Make sure **only one person** is in the photo
* Take the photo as a **human** (no cartoons or animals)
* Show **enough body** for garment placement

## Mobile Conversion Impact

Virtual try-on drives significant mobile conversion lift:

* **Reduces bounce rate** – Shoppers engage longer with products
* **Increases confidence** – Seeing the product on themselves reduces hesitation
* **Lowers cart abandonment** – Less uncertainty = more completed purchases
* **Decreases returns** – Customers have realistic expectations

<Check>
  Stores using Looksy see an average **15-25% conversion rate increase** on mobile devices with virtual try-on enabled.
</Check>

## Troubleshooting Mobile Issues

If customers report mobile problems:

1. **Check browser compatibility** – Ensure they're using an updated browser
2. **Verify lighting** – Poor lighting causes lower quality results
