I’m working on an Android (Java) mobile app for a school project, and I’m trying to integrate a virtual try-on feature (clothes fitting on user images).
I’ve explored a few options on platforms like Hugging Face, but most of the good models are:
only available as demos (Spaces)
not exposed as stable APIs
or require paid GPU/inference
I’m looking for something:
free (or at least free-tier friendly)
accessible via API (REST preferred)
usable in a mobile app backend (FastAPI)
doesn’t need me to train a model from scratch
I already checked things like:
VTON / diffusion-based models
some Hugging Face Spaces (but hard to integrate as API)
Questions:
Are there any free virtual try-on APIs I can realistically use?
Is there a reliable way to turn a Hugging Face Space into an API?
Any open-source models that are actually practical to deploy for a student project?
I’m okay with something not perfect visually—just needs to work for a demo.
Thanks 🙏
