Custom Lithophanes

Turn your favorite photos into stunning 3D-printed art. Lithophanes reveal their image when backlit — perfect as night lights, keepsakes, and one-of-a-kind gifts.

Photos That Come Alive in Light

A lithophane is a thin 3D-printed panel whose image is hidden in plain sight — it only reveals itself when held up to a light source, with stunning depth and detail.

How It Works

Varying wall thickness controls how much light passes through. Thin areas glow bright, thick areas cast shadow — together they form a photo-realistic image with incredible depth.

Perfect For

Night lights, window panels, ornaments, and custom gifts. Portraits, pets, landscapes, wedding photos — if it means something to you, it makes a great lithophane.

The Process

Your photo is converted into a depth-mapped 3D model, then precision-printed in white PLA filament for maximum light transmission and detail contrast.
