Does the AI know which frames suit which face shape?

Yes. Photta detects the shopper's face shape (round, oval, square, heart, oblong) and can surface a 'recommended for your face shape' filter on your product listing pages. Optional — many shoppers prefer to browse freely and just verify the look on their face.

How accurate is frame fit (width, bridge)?

Photta renders frames at their actual width relative to the shopper's face. A 51mm frame on a 130mm-wide face will look correctly proportioned vs. on a 145mm face. Shoppers can verify the relative width before buying.

Does it work for prescription glasses?

Yes. The widget renders the frame style accurately. For prescription confirmation (PD, Rx values), configure Photta to flow into your existing prescription form post-try-on. Many opticians do this.

What about progressive or polarized lens previews?

Lens tint and color preview is supported (gradient sun, mirror, polarized, photochromic-state). The AI renders the lens at the correct tone on the shopper's face.

Can shoppers compare multiple frames side-by-side?

Yes. Photta supports a comparison mode where the shopper can flip between two or three frames they're considering, with their photo as the constant. Particularly valuable for hesitant buyers.

How is the photo protected?

Face photos delete within one hour of upload. Generated try-on images delete within 24 hours. We never share, sell, or train AI models on shopper photos. GDPR + CCPA compliant by default.

Eyewear conversion lives or dies on face fit

Online eyewear has a structural problem: shoppers can't tell if frames will work on their face shape from a product photo. The biggest eyewear brands solved it with home-try-on programs — expensive logistics. Photta delivers the same confidence boost without shipping anything: render the actual frame on the shopper's actual face.
