Lithophane Generator

Convert photos into 3D-printable lithophanes. When backlit, the varying thickness reveals your image.

3D Printing Tips
  • Use white PLA or PETG filament for best light transmission
  • Print with 100% infill (solid) for consistent light diffusion
  • Use 0.1mm or 0.12mm layer height for smooth gradients
  • Print vertically (standing up) for best quality - the layers run parallel to the image
  • Add a stand or frame for display, and place behind a light source
  • High-contrast photos with clear subjects work best - avoid very dark images
