About
Free generator that turns any photo into a 3D-printable plaque in two modes. Backlit Lithophane uses pixel brightness as inverse thickness so the image appears when lit from behind. Photo Relief raises bright pixels off a solid base for a tactile photo plaque, ideal for name signs and accessibility signage. Switch modes any time; image tuning is shared.
Mesh generation is deterministic from your image, right in your browser. Photos and designs stay on your device; we do not store them, and we do not track you.
