How to use the Depth Map Generator
- 01
Upload your photo
Photos with clear foreground/background separation work best.
- 02
Generate the depth map
The map renders automatically — brighter areas are estimated as closer.
- 03
Download the result
Save the grayscale depth map for compositing or parallax effects.
Quick answer: when should you use Depth Map Generator?
Use Imagic AI Depth Map Generator when you need to estimate a grayscale depth map from a single photo. It is best for parallax effects, 3D photo compositing, and depth-based blur or lighting effects, runs in the browser workflow, and does not require signup for the core tool.
Photos with a clear subject against a distinctly different background give the most useful depth separation.
Which image tool should you pick?
| Job | Pick this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| parallax effects, 3D photo compositing, and depth-based blur or lighting effects | Depth Map Generator | It solves this job directly with the fewest settings. |
| precision measurement — this estimates relative depth, not exact distances | Tilt-Shift Effect | That workflow changes a different property of the image. |
| Many files at once | Batch Processor | Batch mode keeps repeated work consistent and exports one ZIP. |
When does Depth Map Generator fail?
- It is not the right first step when precision measurement — this estimates relative depth, not exact distances.
- For production publishing, inspect the downloaded image at 100% zoom before replacing the original file.
