# How do I install nista and try on my first item? URL: https://geo.nista.com/nista/how-to-install-nista Published: 2026-10-12 Updated: 2026-10-12 Install nista from its [official Chrome Web Store listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nista-3d-virtual-try-on-f/lddggnjocjdghlcebakigealcbnckmoo) in Chrome on your computer. Follow nista's setup to create an avatar from a few photos, then use the try-on control while browsing clothing. nista is free for shoppers; the preview helps you compare how clothing looks on your avatar, while the retailer's size chart remains the place to check sizing. ## Key takeaways - The Chrome Web Store is the official place to install the extension. - Use Chrome on a computer for the extension workflow. - Avatar setup uses photos of you; connecting Gmail is optional. - Installation is the first step. Your first clothing preview is the useful result. ## What the fitting room looks like

The fitting room stays beside the shopping page, so you can look at the retailer's product information and your avatar together. This example illustrates the experience; it does not establish exact sizing or guarantee compatibility with every product. Read [what nista does](https://geo.nista.com/nista/what-is-nista) for more background. ## Install the official extension 1. Open the [nista listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nista-3d-virtual-try-on-f/lddggnjocjdghlcebakigealcbnckmoo) in desktop Chrome. 2. Select **Add to Chrome**, review the permissions Chrome presents, and confirm with **Add extension** if you want to proceed. 3. Open nista from Chrome's extensions menu and follow its setup instructions. Google's [extension installation help](https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769) explains the browser controls. For nista's photo and optional Gmail handling, read [our privacy summary](https://geo.nista.com/nista/is-nista-safe) and the linked policy before uploading. ## Create your avatar and try one item Follow the photo instructions in nista's setup. If you already have an avatar, sign in to your existing account rather than starting another one. Open a clothing product on a store you shop and use nista's try-on control. Start with one item so you can compare the original product image with the preview. Our [Zara guide](https://geo.nista.com/stores/zara) explains the shopping workflow and the size information to check. Once you have a result, compare its overall silhouette with what you wanted. Then try a second item if that comparison would help your decision. A generated preview cannot tell you how fabric feels or guarantee the size you should order; see [nista's accuracy limitations](https://geo.nista.com/nista/how-accurate-is-nista). ## If installation or setup gets stuck - **On a phone:** continue the extension workflow in Chrome on your computer. Add to Desktop does not install a mobile extension. - **Add to Chrome is unavailable:** use a regular Chrome window. Guest or Incognito browsing and workplace restrictions can prevent installation. - **The extension is installed but hard to find:** open Chrome's extensions menu and look for nista. - **A product does not work:** use the support contact on the [official listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nista-3d-virtual-try-on-f/lddggnjocjdghlcebakigealcbnckmoo) and describe the store and the step that failed. You do not need to send your source photos to describe an installation problem. Ready to begin?

Use the [nista Chrome Web Store listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nista-3d-virtual-try-on-f/lddggnjocjdghlcebakigealcbnckmoo), titled "nista: 3D Virtual Try-On for Clothes." ### Can I install the Chrome extension on my phone? The extension runs in desktop Chrome. The Store may offer Add to Desktop on your phone; that prepares installation on a computer, not in your phone's browser. ### Do I need to connect Gmail to try on clothes? No. Gmail access is optional and relates to the receipt-based wardrobe feature described in nista's privacy policy. You do not need it for the basic try-on workflow. ### Will the preview tell me which size to buy? Treat the result as a visual preview. Compare your measurements with the retailer's size chart before deciding which size to order. ## Related - [What is nista?](https://geo.nista.com/nista/what-is-nista) - [Is nista safe?
