How does adding a 3D effect to a 2D image work?

The selected model uses the image and your prompt to create a new image with a 3D-style sense of depth and perspective. The result is an image with an applied effect, not a downloadable 3D model.

What types of images work well?

Images with a clear distinction between foreground and background can be useful starting points. Try landscapes, portraits or architectural photos; results depend on the image and selected model.

Can I adjust the depth effect?

You can describe the depth and perspective you want in your prompt or try the available presets. The result depends on the selected model and image.

What format is the output?

The result is an image with a 3D-style depth effect, which you can use in social posts or presentations. Output formats and options depend on the selected model.

Can I use illustrations?

You can try photographs and digital illustrations. For example, ask for a 3D-style effect on a character or other flat artwork. Photos may produce a more realistic look, while illustrations may retain a stylised appearance; results depend on the input and selected model.

How long does generation take?

Generation time varies by selected model, image and current demand. Check the task status or look for the result in History later.

Will the 3D effect look realistic?

The selected model generates an image based on your input and prompt. How natural or realistic the depth appears depends on the image and model; generated results may differ from the original scene.

Can I use the results commercially?

Check the terms that apply to your account and the selected model before using generated images commercially.
