What is Kenerate Lithophane Maker?

Kenerate Lithophane Maker turns a photo into a lithophane panel in the browser. You drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP of up to 40 MB, or try one of two sample photos, and the panel appears in a 3D view next to a backlit preview that shows roughly how the picture reads with a light behind it. The photo is processed on your device and is not uploaded.

The controls are sliders for the width, the detail (a grid step between 0.1 and 1 mm), the maximum thickness for the darkest areas, the minimum for the brightest, a frame width and a curve from flat up to 180 degrees, plus an invert switch for a negative. The defaults are 100 mm wide, 3 mm and 0.8 mm thick with a 4 mm frame, and a readout shows the size and the triangle count. Downloads are STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB in millimeters.

It is free with no account. Kenerate is mainly a paid AI image, video and 3D studio, and this maker sits in its section of free browser 3D tools, next to viewers, converters and makers for image to STL, 3D text and logos. The terms say you own what you make and may use it commercially, and that you are responsible for having the rights to the photo. It suits anyone making a photo gift or night light who wants a quick lithophane without installing anything.
