Your photo never leaves your device; everything runs in the browser.

How to use it

  1. Choose your photo or drop it in.
  2. Set the format, size and framing; drag the preview to position it.
  3. Check the result in the “Backlit” view and adjust brightness and contrast if needed.

Printing tips

  • Use white or natural PLA.
  • 100% infill, 0.12–0.16 mm layers.
  • Print the plate standing up; curved ones stand on their own.
  • Light it from behind with a warm white LED.

FAQ

What is a lithophane?

A lithophane is a thin plate whose thickness follows the tones of a photo. With light behind it, thin areas glow and thick areas stay dark, so the photo appears.

Which photos work best?

Sharp, well-lit photos with good contrast. Close-ups with a plain background work best for faces. Raise the brightness a little for very dark photos.

How should I print it?

Use white PLA, 100% infill and 0.12–0.16 mm layers, and print the plate standing up (long edge on the bed). A lower speed keeps the fine detail.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo and the STL are processed entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to our server.
