Google Photos Wardrobe will scan your pictures to compile a digital version of your closet

Google Photos is adding a new AI feature this summer. Wardrobe creates a “digital closet” for your clothing and jewelry, making it easier to organize them and pick what to wear.

The feature discovers your clothes by scanning your Google Photos library, then creates a catalog of your items organized by category (tops, bottoms, jewelry, etc.). Thumbnails give each piece a simple visual reference. From there, you can mix and match items to create outfits—sharing them with friends or saving to a “digital moodboard.” There’s also a try‑on feature: like a corresponding feature in Google Shopping, it will generate a photo of you wearing the clothes you chose.

Limits and availability

In addition to the usual caveats about AI making mistakes, there are some obvious limits:

• Clothing you haven’t worn in any of your Google Photos library’s pictures won’t show up.
• The AI may think you still own items you wore in photos but have since donated or discarded.

You won’t be able to try Google Photos Wardrobe until this summer. When it finally rolls out, Android users will see it first, with iOS following later.
