## What is Anaglyph 3D?

Anaglyph 3D creates anaglyphs for photos, Live Photos and videos by generating stereo image pairs from depth prediction.

Two photos taken with a slight horizontal offset—mimicking human vision—form a stereo image pair. When viewed with special glasses, Virtual Reality headsets, or free-viewing techniques like cross-eye or parallel viewing, this offset allows the brain to perceive depth, creating a 3D effect.

An anaglyph combines the left and right images of a stereo pair into a single image, creating a 3D effect when viewed with red-cyan glasses. Specifically, the left image is represented in shades of red, while the right image appears in shades of cyan. The color-matching lenses ensure that each eye receives the correct image, enabling depth perception.

Traditionally, a stereo pair is captured with a dual lens or double shot camera, as in our app Cameranaglyph. This app offers an alternative approach, using a single image to generate a stereo pair from depth prediction and machine learning.

Each of your eyes sees a slightly different view because they are spaced apart horizontally. This causes objects to appear slightly shifted between the left and right views. The amount of horizontal shift between common objects in both views is called disparity. Closer objects have a larger disparity than those farther away. You can observe this effect by looking at an object with one eye closed, then switching to the other eye. The closer the object, the more it appears to shift between views. Your brain uses this difference to perceive depth and distance.

Machine learning is a process where computers analyze data to make predictions without being explicitly programmed for each task. It employs a model to detect and analyze patterns within the data. Training involves optimizing the model by iteratively adjusting its parameters using labeled data to minimize prediction errors and improve performance.

One application of machine learning is depth prediction in images, where the model estimates how far objects are from the camera. By training on millions of images, the model learns to recognize visual patterns that indicate depth.

A depth map is an image that represents object distances by encoding them as grayscale pixel values. Using machine learning, it’s possible to predict depth from a single photo or video frame, creating a depth map. The depth map is used to create a disparity filter to generate a right and left image stereo pair by shifting pixels in the original image. The stereo pair can then be used to create an anaglyph.

The Disparity Intensity parameter adjusts the pixel shift between the left and right stereo images generated from depth prediction. Increasing the value exaggerates depth differences, enhancing the 3D effect, while decreasing it reduces the disparity for a more subtle stereo effect — similar to adjusting contrast in an image.

Select a photo or video using the browser or from the sample media in the app menu. For a conventional video stereo pairs are generated from depth prediction on the single image extracted from a video frame. Each stereo pair is then used to generate three types of video output—Anaglyph,  Side by Side and Spatial—as follows:

Anaglyph: Each output video frame is an anaglyph created using a stereo image pair generated from depth prediction on the input video frame, for 3D glasses.

Side by Side: Each output video frame is a juxtaposition of the images using a stereo image pair generated from depth prediction on the input video frame. The placement of images is intended for parallel viewing. To see the 3D effect, the viewer must train their eyes to focus as if looking at a distant object, allowing each eye to align with the corresponding image.

Spatial: Each output video frame consists of a stereo image pair generated from depth prediction on the input video frame to create a spatial video. A spatial video is a stereoscopic 3D video format introduced for the Apple Vision Pro.

### 1/5 — To slow

*2026-04-18*

Way to slow

### 5/5 — Anaglyph 2D->3D FAST and EFFECTIVE!

*2025-11-16*

I have been using 2D->3D converters for some time and had become disappointed with the current one I had been using. I found this app to be effective and fast. I put through the 2D images that did not come through well using my previous app, and they worked well within Anaglyph 3D. Note that all 2D images do not necessarily work well through the 2D -> 3D process.  That is part of the art of the process… to find those images which will provide a good result.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2025-04-19*

It does what it’s supposed to well. It’s not very complicated, and easy to figure out. I love that it’s free! The only thing I wish it could do is have the option of using Magenta/Green and Yellow/Blue in addition to the standard Cyan/Red.

## Frequently asked questions about Anaglyph 3D

### How does Anaglyph 3D create 3D effects?

Anaglyph 3D generates stereo image pairs from a single photo or video using depth prediction and machine learning. These pairs, when viewed with special glasses, allow your brain to perceive depth and create a 3D effect.

### What is disparity intensity in Anaglyph 3D?

Disparity intensity is a parameter that adjusts the pixel shift between the left and right stereo images. Increasing it exaggerates depth differences for a stronger 3D effect, while decreasing it creates a more subtle stereo experience.

### Can I use Anaglyph 3D on my computer?

Yes, Anaglyph 3D is supported on Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices, allowing you to create 3D content across multiple Apple platforms.

### How often is Anaglyph 3D updated?

The latest version, 2.0, was released on March 29, 2026, indicating recent development activity. The app was initially released on March 28, 2025.

### What is the age rating for Anaglyph 3D?

Anaglyph 3D has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users, including younger audiences interested in creative media.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-03-29

• The Image anaglyph view has new auto-generate feature so changes to parameters, like disparity intensity, are easier to experiment with
• Background removal for each media type now available
• The new background can be clear, average color of original, or a chosen specific color
• New option to generate spatial videos using depth prediction
• The existing B+W (black and white) filter can now take advantage of transparency in media for thresholding
• New edge detection filter for additional special effect to generate anaglyphs
• For video there is an option to select and open any video frame as a photo in the Image anaglyph view 
• Improved user interface has enhanced informational tips with titles
• Bug fixes and many other changes for a better user experience, such as enhanced alerts

### 1.0.5 — 2025-12-04

In each anaglyph generator view (Image, Live Photo and Video) the anaglyph filter type 'B+W' (black and white) now has adjustable threshold (from 0 to 1), extending the artistic effect of this filter type. 

In the view for generating anaglyphs from images we have a new 'Spatial Image From Stereo Pair' menu item in the Export menu - useful in particular when you load your own stereo pair from the main view menu, using the menu item 'Choose Stereo Pair…' (a feature introduced recently in v 1.0.3). A spatial image is an image format that stores a stereo pair - left and right images. They are intended for viewing with devices that enable you to view those images in a way that the left eye receives only the left image and the right eye receives only the right image. But it is also a convenient file package for stereo pairs.

Note: Anaglyph 3D provides help for understanding stereo pairs and how anaglyphs are generated and viewed! After you launch the app tap the '?' in the top left corner to access help. 

Previous v. 1.0.4

In the view for generating anaglyphs from images the export menu has a new menu item 'Stereo Pair from Depth Prediction' that displays the stereo pair left and right images for saving each to files, photos or sharing to other apps.
