Let every shopper try on every frame — through one API call.
LayerFrames is a proprietary AI rendering API that places any glasses or sunglasses frame on any face, photorealistically. Eyewear brands integrate it into an existing product catalog or storefront in a single afternoon.
No native app. No 3D team. Works on the phone your customer already has.

Returns are eating your margin. Try-on is the cheapest fix.
Roughly 3 in 10 online eyewear orders come back — wrong size, wrong shape, wrong vibe. Every return costs you shipping both ways, restocking, and a customer who may not come back.
Fewer returns
Shoppers see the frame on their own face before checkout, so 'it didn't suit me' returns drop sharply. Partners report a 22–31% reduction in style-related returns.
More conversion
Try-on sessions convert 2–3× better than plain product views. Shoppers who try 3+ frames add to cart at the highest rate in your catalog.
Lower build cost
Building this in-house means a CV team, 3D asset pipeline, and mobile SDKs — six figures and 9+ months. LayerFrames is a line of JavaScript.
This is what your product page looks like on day two.
A low-fidelity view of a typical eyewear PDP with LayerFrames installed. One extra button, one modal, everything else stays exactly as your team built it.
- Try-on button inherits your CSS — colors, radius, typography.
- Modal opens with camera or photo upload; no app install prompt.
- Frame swapping is instant: switch SKU or colorway without re-rendering the face.
- Falls back to a static rendered image where camera access is blocked.
A complete try-on stack, not just an image filter.
LayerFrames handles catalog ingestion, face understanding, rendering, fit measurement, and analytics. You handle the storefront.
Photoreal frame rendering
Upload a selfie or stream a webcam frame. Our model detects 68 facial landmarks, estimates head pose in 3 axes, and composites the frame with correct scale, occlusion, shadow, and lens tint.
Your catalog, ingested once
Send product images or CAD/GLB assets to /frames. We build a try-on-ready asset per SKU with hinge geometry, temple length, bridge width, and colorway variants.
Fit intelligence
Every render returns measured pupillary distance, face width, and a fit score per SKU, so you can surface 'fits you' badges and personalized recommendations.
Live video mode
A WebSocket session streams 24–30 fps try-on directly in the browser. No app install, no native SDK, works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome.
Privacy by default
Selfies are processed in-memory and discarded within 60 seconds unless you explicitly opt into storage. GDPR and CCPA ready, with a signed DPA.
Drop-in or headless
Use the 12 kB embed script for a one-line install, the React component, or call the raw REST API and render try-on wherever you want.
Your first render, in about four minutes.
Authenticate with a bearer key, reference a frame you've synced, and pass a subject image. You get back a hosted render plus fit measurements.

}Three steps to live.
Sync your catalog
POST each SKU to /v1/frames, or point us at a Shopify / BigCommerce / custom feed. We normalize measurements and generate try-on assets automatically.
Add try-on to the PDP
Drop in <script src="https://cdn.layerframes.com/embed.js"> and a data-frame-id attribute on your button. Or call the API yourself for a fully custom UI.
Measure and optimize
Every session emits events: try_on_started, frame_swapped, added_to_cart. Pipe them into your analytics and see try-on driven revenue per SKU.
See LayerFrames running on your own catalog.
Send us 10 SKUs before the call. We'll render them live on the demo and hand you a sandbox key at the end.
