- For
- 3D-printing hobbyists making models from images
- Worth noticing
- The converter offers separate heightmap, extrusion, lithophane, and SVG-vector modes, with settings for width, relief height, base thickness, and resolution.
Field notes
The instructions distinguish the modes by how they turn image information into geometry: brightness maps to height, thresholded pixels become raised solid shapes, and lithophane thickness controls transmitted light. Users can set dimensions in millimetres and adjust resolution, smoothing, inversion, and background removal. The page lists STL as a free download; 3MF, batch conversion, and several higher-end options are marked Pro.
