Lookbook AI vs Pinterest Lens

Lookbook AI identifies garments in outfit photos and matches them with shoppable products. Computer vision separates outfits into items such as tops, bottoms, shoes, bags, and accessories, while CLIP visual matching compares style, color, and silhouette. The service says it searches more than 1 million products from major retailers, though a match may be relevant without being exact. Retailers can add a white-label product finder to Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom site using a script tag, connect a product feed, or use the REST API. Creators can build lookbooks from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and personal blogs, earning commission on purchases with monthly payouts and no minimums. It is offered on the web, through an API, and as a self-hosted deployment. The Starter plan is free and allows up to 1,000 products and 1,000 searches per month. Growth is $199 a month, with up to 50,000 products and unlimited searches. The image demo accepts JPG, PNG, or WebP files up to 20MB. Creator onboarding is limited, with creators being onboarded one at a time.

Pinterest Lens lets people search for ideas using objects in pictures. On mobile, users can take a photo or choose one from the camera roll; on the web, they can upload an image or select one previously uploaded. Pinching to zoom or tapping an object helps focus the camera. Visual search can find Pins with items similar to a whole image or part of one, and suggested keywords or refinements can narrow results. Where available, users can select an object in a Pin to find similar items for sale on merchant websites. They can also cut objects out of Pins and add them to collages. Pinterest says visual search features are not available on ads or collage Pins. Lens is free on Android, iOS, and web, and requires a Pinterest account; mobile camera search requires camera access. Pinterest provides controls to access, edit, or delete personal data and adjust certain privacy and data-sharing settings. On Android, camera permission allows Lens to take pictures or look for ideas through the camera.
