Transform any photo into an immersive 3D memory you can explore. Hologramm uses on-device machine learning to create stunning 3D point clouds from your photos. Watch as flat images come alive with depth, then drift through your memories with smooth, cinematic camera tours. Available on iPhone and Mac as a universal purchase. FEATURES • Instant 3D Transformation Select any photo from your library and watch it transform into a living 3D scene in seconds. No special camera or depth sensor required. • Cinematic Camera Tours Experience your memories with beautiful, choreographed camera movements — dolly, orbit, truck, and boom — that glide through your 3D scenes. • Free-Look Exploration Take control and explore your memories from any angle. Pan, zoom, and orbit to discover hidden depths in your photos. • Gyroscope Parallax (iPhone) Tilt your device to shift the 3D perspective in real-time. Feel the depth of your memories as you move. • 36+ Creative Filters Apply artistic effects like VHS, Neon, Hologram, Film Burn, Watercolor, Oil Paint, Anaglyph 3D, and more. Fine-tune exposure, contrast, saturation, and color grading. • Share as GIF Export your animated 3D camera tours as shareable GIFs to send to friends and family. • Batch Processing Select up to 20 photos at once and transform them all into 3D memories. • Mac Companion Mode Use your Mac to accelerate iPhone processing. Your Mac receives photos over the local network, runs ML inference with its powerful hardware, and sends refined 3D scenes back to your iPhone. • Drag & Drop (Mac) Drop images directly into the Mac app to create 3D memories. Export PLY point cloud files for use in other 3D tools. • Privacy First All processing happens on your device. Your photos never leave your iPhone or Mac. • Completely Free No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. PERFECT FOR • Rediscovering old photos in a new way • Creating immersive memories of special moments • Exploring the hidden depth in your favorite shots • Sharing living photos with friends and family • Anyone who loves photography and 3D art Hologramm works best with photos that have clear subjects and natural depth — landscapes, portraits, architecture, and street scenes create the most stunning results. iPhone requires A14 Bionic chip or later.

DepthWeaver turns real-world depth into hidden-image stereograms. Capture a scene with the LiDAR scanner, generate depth from any photo with on-device AI, scan a real object with Apple's Object Capture, or load a 3D model — then watch a hidden image rise out of the noise as you cross your eyes. CAPTURE DEPTH FIVE WAYS • LiDAR live capture on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro — point, freeze, done • On-device AI depth from any photo (Depth Anything V2) • Scan real objects with Apple's Object Capture (Pro devices) — guided orbits turn a real object into a .usdz you can orbit and frame • 3D model import — .usdz, .usd, .obj, .scn with an orbit camera so you choose the angle • Bundled height map and 3D model presets to play with right away PICK A PATTERN • Six procedural generators: random dot, stars, Perlin noise, Worley noise, Voronoi cells, reaction-diffusion • Import any image from your photo library as a custom tile • Built-in texture library TUNE EVERY KNOB • DPI, depth strength, separation, oversampling • Remap input and output depth ranges to push the subject forward or back • Denoise quantized 8-bit imports for clean, banding-free output • Invert depth in one tap • Live preview redraws as you slide PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on device. No account, no upload, no tracking, no ads. Your photos and 3D scans never leave your device. UNDER THE HOOD Parallelized implementation of the Thimbleby–Inglis–Witten autostereogram algorithm with W. A. Steer's link-based hidden-surface refinement. Powered by ARKit, Object Capture, Core ML, SceneKit, Metal, and Core Image. Output is upscaled so the minimum dimension is at least 960 px — print-ready or share-ready. SHARE Export high-resolution PNGs to Photos, Messages, AirDrop, or any app with a share sheet. Available in English and French. For iPhone and iPad (iOS 18 or later) and Mac with Apple silicon (macOS 15 or later). LiDAR capture and Object Capture scans are iPhone and iPad only. Capture a scene. Pick a pattern. Stare into it.
