Depth Map Generator
FREEGenerate depth maps from your images. Perfect for 3D effects, parallax animations, and AR product visualization.
How It Works
Upload Your Image
Drag and drop or select any image you want to analyze for depth. Works with photos, illustrations, and any visual content.
AI Depth Analysis
Our MiDaS AI model analyzes the image to estimate relative distances of objects from the camera, creating a depth map.
Download Depth Map

3D Model Generation
Use depth maps as input for 3D reconstruction tools to convert 2D images into 3D models and scenes.
Video VFX
Add depth-aware effects in video editing: fog, atmospheric haze, color grading by distance, and more.
Spatial Audio
Position audio sources in 3D space based on depth information for immersive soundscapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
A depth map is a grayscale image where each pixel's brightness represents its relative distance from the camera. Lighter/white areas are closer to the camera, while darker/black areas are farther away.
Yes! Depth map generation is completely free and costs 0 credits. We offer this as a free utility tool for developers and creators.
MiDaS (Mixing Datasets for Zero-shot Cross-dataset Transfer) is Intel's state-of-the-art depth estimation model. It's trained on multiple datasets to work well on any type of image.
MiDaS provides relative depth estimates that are highly accurate for most scenes. It excels at natural photos and typical compositions. Very unusual perspectives or optical illusions may be less accurate.
Relative depth shows which objects are closer or farther without actual measurements. Metric depth gives real-world distances (meters). MiDaS provides relative depth, which is sufficient for most visual effects.
Common uses include: 3D parallax effects, AR applications, depth-based blur (bokeh), 3D reconstruction, spatial audio positioning, video VFX, and game development.
We support all major image formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. The output is a grayscale PNG file matching your input dimensions.
