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.

DepthPop is an on-device 3D photo studio for iPhone. Pick a photo or short video, let the app estimate depth locally, and preview cinematic stereo motion rendered with Metal in real time. No photo upload is required. Depth estimation, preview, and export are designed to happen on your device, making DepthPop useful for portraits, pets, travel shots, objects, dancing clips, scenery, and social posts. Key features: - Photo to 3D motion: swing, orbit, dolly depth, wiggle, and more - Pop-out edits: make the subject break out of the frame - Photo walls: several photos become one wall your subject steps out of, in six layouts - Live Photos: one export that is both a still and an animated wallpaper — press to see it move - Portrait-mode camera depth: reads the real disparity map your camera captured, measured rather than estimated - Anaglyph and side-by-side formats for red-cyan glasses, VR viewers, and free viewing - Spatial photos for immersive viewing on Apple Vision Pro - Depth wallpapers for atmospheric iPhone lock screens - Video to 3D: create wiggle, anaglyph, side-by-side, or spatial videos - Cinematic looks: color grades, bloom, and atmospheric depth haze - Local works library for saving, sharing, and re-exporting creations Use DepthPop to create a moving 3D portrait, build a photo wall from one trip with your subject stepping out of it, export a Live Photo straight to your lock screen, make a pet or travel video feel dimensional, prepare red-cyan or VR viewing assets, design a depth wallpaper, or create GIFs and clips that stand out in a feed. The free version includes 10 watermarked exports per day, with 20 total exports on the first day. DepthPop Pro removes the watermark and unlocks unlimited creation and advanced export formats. Tip: monocular depth works best when the subject is clear, separated from the background, and not heavily blurred around the edges. Terms of Use: https://depth3d.pages.dev/terms
