Wigglegram maker: one photo in, a wiggle 3D GIF out
A wigglegram is the 3D photo that needs no glasses — the frame rocks gently between viewpoints, and your brain reads the motion as depth. StereoGen builds one from a single ordinary photo, so you get the four-lens film camera look without the four-lens film camera.

From one frame to a living loop
1Depth estimation
A neural network studies your photo and estimates the distance of every pixel, turning the flat image into a detailed depth map.
2Viewpoint synthesis
Using that depth, StereoGen renders a sequence of camera positions shifted slightly left and right of the original shot — the in-between frames a multi-lens camera would have caught on film.
3Seamless wiggle GIF
The frames are assembled into a loop that swings back and forth forever. It plays anywhere a GIF plays: chats, feeds, forums, blogs and slide decks.
Born on film, reborn in your browser
Wigglegrams date back to lenticular prints and 1980s quad-lens cameras like the Nimslo, which exposed several frames at once so the print could wobble between them. Photographers still love the look because it stops a scrolling thumb dead: the image moves, the depth is obvious, and no one needs glasses, headsets or a special player. With StereoGen the four lenses are replaced by a depth-estimation neural net, which means any photo you already have — including decades-old scans — can become a wigglegram.
Check the depth before you post
Every conversion starts free: you get a watermarked 768px wiggle GIF plus all of StereoGen's interactive views at no cost. The Live 3D view runs right in your browser with WebGL — drag the scene around to feel exactly how much parallax your photo has before you download anything. If the loop earns a spot in your feed, the $2.99 unlock exports it at full resolution, removes the watermark and includes a commercial license, so branded and client posts are covered. The same upload can also be turned into an anaglyph, a stereo pair, a parallax animation or a plain depth map.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is a wigglegram?
A short animation that alternates between slightly different viewpoints of the same scene. The motion parallax — near things moving more than far things — is the same cue your eyes use in real life, so the picture reads as three-dimensional without any glasses.
Do viewers need 3D glasses or a special app?
No, and that is the whole charm. A wigglegram is just a looping GIF: anyone who can see the image sees the depth, on any phone, browser or chat app.
Can I post a wigglegram on social media?
Yes — it is a standard GIF, so it works anywhere GIFs are supported. Platforms that convert GIFs into short videos keep the wiggle intact, because the effect lives in the frames themselves.
Why is my wigglegram watermarked?
Free previews are watermarked and capped at 768px so the tool can stay free to try. A $2.99 unlock gives you the full-resolution, watermark-free file with a commercial license included.
What photos make the strongest wiggle effect?
Layered scenes: a subject at arm's length, something in the midground and a distant background. The bigger the depth differences between layers, the livelier the wiggle.
