Powered by AI Depth Estimation
Flux Dev Depth Map Synthesis
Depthmap Converter uses a diffusion model to analyze monocular depth cues in 2D photos. It understands perspective, occlusion, relative scale, and atmospheric depth to produce accurate grayscale depth maps.
The output represents depth as brightness values -- bright areas are close to the camera, dark areas are far away. This standard format is compatible with 3D software, Photoshop, and game engines.
Frequently Asked Questions
A depth map is a grayscale image where pixel brightness represents distance from the camera. White means closest, black means farthest. It's used in 3D modeling, VFX, and photo editing.
Photos with clear depth variation work best -- landscapes with foreground objects, rooms with furniture, portraits, and architectural shots all produce excellent results.
Yes! Use it as a displacement map for 3D effects, a mask for depth-based blur, or a layer for creating parallax animations.
JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 20MB. Output is PNG format for maximum quality.
The AI produces relative depth estimations that are visually accurate for most use cases. For professional surveying-grade depth, specialized hardware is recommended.
Depth maps are typically generated in 10-20 seconds, making it one of the faster tools in the studio.
Yes, the grayscale PNG output is compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, and other 3D tools as a displacement or height map.
It can estimate depth from 2D images but works best with photos that have natural depth cues like perspective, occlusion, and varying object sizes.
The output is a standard grayscale depth map where white represents near objects and black represents far objects.
Absolutely. Depth maps are ideal for creating parallax scrolling effects, 3D photo animations, and Ken Burns-style motion from still images.
