Step-by-Step Guide

1

Prepare Stereo Pair

Upload left and right eye images taken from slightly different angles.

💡 Tip: Images should be identical in size and framing for best results

2

Upload Left Eye Image

Select the image intended for the left eye (typically red channel).

💡 Tip: Ensure both images have the same dimensions and orientation

3

Upload Right Eye Image

Select the image for the right eye (typically cyan/blue channel).

💡 Tip: Slight horizontal offset between images creates the 3D effect

4

Adjust 3D Parameters

Fine-tune depth, alignment, and color balance for optimal 3D effect.

💡 Tip: Subtle adjustments often produce the most comfortable viewing experience

5

Generate Anaglyph

Click "Create 3D Anaglyph" to combine the stereo pair.

💡 Tip: Processing combines color channels to create the 3D illusion

6

Test and Download

View with red-cyan 3D glasses and download your anaglyph image.

💡 Tip: Adjust monitor brightness for optimal 3D depth perception

💡 Pro Tips

  • ✓Use images with good depth and parallax for compelling 3D effects
  • ✓Keep the stereo base (distance between camera positions) reasonable
  • ✓Red-cyan glasses are inexpensive and widely available
  • ✓Test viewing distance and angle for optimal 3D experience
  • ✓Avoid excessive depth that causes eye strain
  • ✓Use for scientific visualization, entertainment, or artistic expression
