Take a Selfie
- Face the camera directly with proper lighting.
- Use the JS Camera Kit to capture the photo.
Prepare Your Lens Style Cutout
Provide one clear Lens Style image:
- Format: PNG (recommended: background removed)
- Dimensions: 200 × 200 ≤ W × H ≤ 600 × 600
- File size: < 10 MB
Samples:

Retrieve upload URLs and File IDs via /s2s/v2.0/file API
Upload the following files using the upload URLs returned in the file API response:
- Your selfie photo
- Lens Style image
Execute AI Task /s2s/v2.0/task/eye-color-vto
Run the AI task using file IDs or image URLs as the input source. Configure the effect parameters as desired.
Poll Task Status
Use the returned task_id to monitor task progress.
Poll GET /task/eye-color-vto to check the engine's status.
The task will remain in a “running” state until it is completed. No units are consumed while the task is running.

Sample application scenario
AI Eye Color Lens Virtual Simulation transforms how customers shop for colored contact lenses. The process is straightforward, engaging, and requires minimal effort from users.
Step1: Pick Your Favorite color Once customers land on your site and browse your selection, they can select the shades they’d like to try on. Whether they're eyeing a subtle hazel, vibrant green, or icy blue, they can explore a wide variety of colors.

version: v2.5The JavaScript Camera Kit provides a complete in-browser camera solution designed for high-accuracy face-based imaging tasks. It handles camera permissions, real-time face detection, automatic quality validation (lighting, pose, angle, distance), and guided capture UI flows.
This module is optimized for AI-driven image analysis, such as:
- AI Skin Analysis (SD/HD)
- AI Face Tone Analysis
- Hair-related Analysis
- Virtual Try-On (Ring, Wrist, Necklace, etc.)
- Permission Handling: Automatic management of webcam access.
- Quality Validation: Real-time monitoring of face position, lighting, and angle.
- Multi-Step Flows: Support for complex capture requirements (e.g., multi-angle hair capture).
- Flexible Output: Supports both
base64andblobimage formats.

Camera Kit provides configurable quality parameters to control face detection and skin analysis behavior. These parameters allow developers to fine-tune detection strictness while maintaining consistency across web and native SDK implementations.
To simplify configuration, Camera Kit includes three predefined presets:
- RELAXED: Optimized for usability with minimal restrictions
- MODERATE: Balanced between usability and accuracy
- STRICT: Optimized for maximum detection accuracy
All custom configurations must meet or exceed the minimum requirements defined by the RELAXED preset.
Camera Kit Quality Configuration supports both skincare and hdskincare.
| Preset | Description |
|---|---|
| RELAXED | Less strict validation for smoother user experience |
| MODERATE | Balanced validation for most use cases |
| STRICT | Tight validation for high accuracy scenarios |
When using qualityOverrides, you may specify only the parameters you want to change. Unspecified parameters fall back to the active preset defaults.

Example Payload:
{
"hasFace": true,
"position": "good",
"frontal": "good",
"lighting": "ok"
}Field Definitions:
hasFace: (boolean) Whether a face is detected.position: (string) Face distance/size quality ("good","notgood","toosmall","outofboundary").frontal: (string) Whether user is facing forward ("good","notgood").lighting: (string) Lighting strength ("good","ok","notgood").
Fired after all required face quality validation checks have passed and the Camera Kit has successfully completed the capture workflow. Depending on the mode, this may contain one or multiple images.
Example Payload:
{
"mode": "makeup",
"images": [
{
"phase": 0,
"image": "data:image/jpeg;base64,...",
"width": 500,
"height": 500
}
]
}Image Object Fields:
phase: (integer) Zero-based index representing the capture step.image: (string|Blob) The captured image data.width: (integer) Pixel width of the captured image.height: (integer) Pixel height of the captured image.
To ensure successful capture:
- Distance: Ensure correct face distance (not too zoomed in/out).
- Angle: Ensure frontal face angle.
- Lighting: Provide sufficient lighting (avoid shadows or dark environments).
Modes like hairtype or hairfrizziness require multiple steps:
- Front face
- Turn right
- Turn left
Ensure your event handling logic accounts for multiple images in the faceDetectionCaptured result array.
- Flip Button: Use
hideFlipCameraButton: trueto enforce a specific camera orientation if your UX requires it. - Capture Delay: Adjust
countingDuration(default800) to give users more time to review the capture before auto-submission occurs.
