Turn tone into depth
Relief mode uses brightness to create a shallow height map attached to a base.

Memories with dimension.
A favorite face. A place you love. Make a brightness-based relief or a glowing lithophane, then download the model for your printer.
PHOTO TO PRINTABLE SURFACE
A new dimension for your memories.
Image brightness becomes depth in a relief, or thickness in a backlit lithophane. Upload a photo and inspect the real surface before downloading.

A NEW WAY TO REMEMBER
What kind of STL can you make from a photo?
Choose a relief to turn image brightness into shallow height, or a lithophane to turn dark tones into greater material thickness. Both create closed printable surfaces with a flat back. Neither reconstructs a complete figurine or infers anatomical depth.
Let the image glow
Lithophane mode makes dark pixels thicker and light pixels thinner so backlighting reveals the picture.

A GOOD START MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Choose a photo with potential.
- Use the original photo instead of a screenshot.
- Choose a subject that stands apart from the background.
- For portraits, look for soft, even lighting on the face.
Can I convert my photo today?
Artwork, reliefs, and lithophanes support STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP, and GLB. Photo surfaces use faceted CAD solids.
Will a photo of my dog become a figurine?
No. Reliefs use image brightness to create shallow surfaces. This does not reconstruct a dog’s anatomy or hidden geometry. Full AI generation remains a separate future feature.
What can I do for free today?
Upload artwork or a photo, generate a real model, and inspect the geometry report for free. No account is required for previews or single-model purchases. Your files are private.
Are downloads available?
Yes. Choose STL, 3MF, OBJ, or GLB after generation. Artwork extrusions also support STEP solids. Preview first, then purchase your selected format or use credits. Each purchase unlocks one format of that exact model.
