Make stereo pictures and Magic Eye images

A free in-browser tool for making stereo images. Pick from a gallery of 100 ready-made depth designs (words, animals, hearts, geometric shapes), upload your own grayscale depth map, drop in any photo for AI-driven depth estimation, or type a short word — then switch between four output modes: classic Magic Eye autostereogram, red-cyan anaglyph for paper glasses, side-by-side cross-eye for glasses-free 3D, or a 2-frame wiggle GIF that shows depth without any technique. All processing runs in your browser via Canvas, OffscreenCanvas and WebAssembly.

How to make a stereo picture

1
Pick a mode

Magic Eye for the classic "stare past the page" effect, anaglyph if you have red-cyan glasses, cross-eye for technique fans, or wiggle for an effortless 3D animation.

2
Pick a source

Click any preset in the gallery, upload a grayscale depth map, drop in a photo for AI depth estimation, or type a short word.

3
Tune the depth

Adjust the eye-width slider (Magic Eye) or disparity slider (other modes) until the 3D feels comfortable for your screen and eyes.

4
Download

Save the rendered image as a PNG, or as an animated GIF for wiggle mode.

Generate autostereograms, anaglyph 3D and wiggle GIFs from photos or text

White = closer, black = farther. Any image works — we average the channels.

Frequently asked questions

I cannot see the 3D image in Magic Eye mode. What now?

Hold the screen at a comfortable reading distance and let your eyes drift past it as if focusing on something behind the screen. Try the eye-width slider — smaller values (around 100 px) work better on phones, larger values (160 px+) on desktop monitors. Some people see it instantly, others need a minute of practice.

Which mode is easiest to view?

Wiggle GIF is the easiest — no glasses, no technique, the animation does the work. Anaglyph is next if you have red-cyan paper glasses. Magic Eye and cross-eye both require some practice with eye focus.

Can I use my own photo?

Yes. Switch to the Photo + AI source and drop in any image. The Depth-Anything-V2 Small ONNX model (~28 MB) downloads on first use and runs locally to estimate depth.

What is the depth-map upload for?

If you already have a grayscale depth map (from a photogrammetry tool, a 3D model render, or another AI), drop it in directly. White pixels are closest, black pixels are farthest.

Do I need anything to view anaglyph 3D?

Yes — red-cyan paper glasses. They are cheap and widely available. Hold them so the red lens is over your left eye.
