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.

Save a favorite arrangement and reopen your collage to keep editing. REMOVE THE BACKGROUND Separate a person or object using on-device subject detection. Choose a detected subject, refine its edges with erase and restore brushes, and try a transparent, solid, gradient or photo background. Save a cutout to your own sticker collection. MAKE COLOR YOURS Adjust light, contrast, saturation, exposure, temperature and more. Choose a filter and control its intensity. Fine-tune individual colors with Color Mix, shape tones with Curves and check the histogram. Save a Look to reuse your adjustments across photos. LAYER YOUR IDEAS Add another photo, text, a sticker, a drawing or a cutout. Move, resize and rotate layers. Adjust opacity and blend modes, group layers, control their order and visibility, and use alignment tools. Blend images with soft brush, linear and radial masks. ADD THE FINISHING TOUCH Style text with system fonts, outlines, shadows, curved lettering and gradients. Add original paper, tape and doodle stickers, symbols or saved cutouts. Draw with a pen, marker and eraser. Sample colors from your photo. EDIT THE DETAILS Crop, straighten, rotate, flip and adjust perspective. Brush on blur or mosaic, clone a small detail, blend a local repair, or adjust light and color in a selected area. KEEP CREATING Your original photo stays intact. Undo and redo edits, reopen saved projects and organize them with names, folders and favorites. Restore projects from Trash or export an editable backup to Files. Apply a saved Look to a batch of photos, with optional resizing and a text watermark. EXPORT YOUR WAY Choose PNG, JPEG or HEIC, set output size and quality, then save to Photos or share a file.
