What is Lithomaker?

Lithomaker converts images into lithophane 3D models for 3D printing. When backlit, thickness variations reveal image detail, making lithophanes ideal for lamps, frames, and décor.

How to use

  1. Upload an image: Choose a grayscale or high‑contrast photo. Be mindful of image size—very large images may slow processing.
  2. Adjust image settings (Optional): Adjust brightness and contrast to enhance details and improve the lithophane result.
  3. Generate and download: Create the lithophane model and download the STL file for 3D printing.
