Frequently Asked Questions
What is a depth map?
A depth map is a grayscale image where each pixel represents distance from the camera. White pixels are closer to the camera and black pixels are farther away. Depth maps are used in 3D effects, portrait mode, AR applications, and more.
How does the AI depth estimation work?
This tool uses the Depth Anything V2 model, a state-of-the-art AI that estimates relative depth from a single 2D image. The model runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (WASM), so your images never leave your device.
Can I use depth maps for 3D or AR effects?
Yes! Depth maps can be imported into 3D software like Blender, used for parallax effects on the web, applied as displacement maps for 3D geometry, or used in AR/VR applications to add depth to flat images.
What is the difference between grayscale and rainbow depth maps?
Grayscale depth maps show depth as shades of gray (white = near, black = far) and are the standard format used by most 3D software. Rainbow/coloured depth maps use a gradient from blue (far) to red (near) for easier visual interpretation of depth layers.
