Depth3D converts local MP4 and MOV videos into stereo side-by-side 3D video using on-device AI depth estimation. Import a video, and Depth3D processes it entirely on your device to generate: • A depth preview video • A stereo side-by-side (SBS) video for compatible 3D viewers and displays • Raw depth data (.npy) for advanced workflows After depth data is generated once, you can adjust stereo strength or output resolution and regenerate the stereo video without recomputing depth. All processing happens on-device. No uploads. No servers. No account required.

Photographica is an information-focused photo editor that lets you put together a polished, info-rich shot in seconds. It automatically detects and separates the subjects in your photo into layers, so the popular "text behind the subject" effect is just a tap away (results may vary depending on the photo). KEY FEATURES ■ Layers you can slip BETWEEN subjects The app auto-detects what's in your photo and stacks each subject back-to-front. Drop your layer in at any depth you like. ■ A rich set of layer types • Text — fonts, colors, strokes and rotation, all customizable • Symbols — insert arrows and basic shapes with a single tap • Emoji stamps — turn system emoji into stamps as-is • Freehand drawing — sketch freely with your finger or Apple Pencil • Image layers — drop in another photo as a stamp • Speech bubbles — quick and easy comic-style edits • Map layers — embed a map using GSI, OSM or OTM tiles • GPX tracks — overlay your hiking or travel route on a map ■ Beautifully formatted shot info Coordinates, elevation, capture bearing, date — the metadata bound to your photo can be inserted onto the image with refined formatting. Choose your coordinate style (decimal or DMS) and units in detail, and fine-tune the position on a built-in map picker. Edited locations can be written back to EXIF, dramatically improving the accuracy of your hiking and travel records. ■ Photo-level edits Rotate, crop and resize the underlying photo. Crops support both fixed aspect ratios and free shapes. ■ Styles and filters Apply filters to individual layers or to the whole photo — from subtle color grading to bold artistic effects. ■ Projects and iCloud sync Every edit is saved as a project you can revisit any time from a grid-style browser. Projects sync via iCloud Documents, so you can move seamlessly between iPhone and iPad. ■ Export and share Export to PNG or JPEG, send via the share sheet, or save to Photos with EXIF preserved — ready for social media, print or long-term archives. PRICING The free version lets you try nearly every feature (with banner ads, rewarded video ads and a watermark). Upgrade to the full version to remove ads and watermarks. • 3-month seasonal subscription: $5.99 • Lifetime purchase: $19.99 REQUIREMENTS Runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. Available in English and Japanese. PERFECT FOR • Adding text and arrows to photos for stylish social media posts • Embedding accurate location and elevation on hiking and travel shots • Decorating family and kids' photos with playful elements • Anyone wanting depth-aware effects ordinary photo editors can't deliver • Apple Pencil users looking for serious mobile photo editing Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://kzi.jp/privacy-policy.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Depth3D at none against Photographica's 2. Depth3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Photographica's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
