Professional Image-to-Depth Map Software (100% Free & Offline)
DepthGen Pro is a free, offline, professional image-to-depth-map application designed for laser engraving, CNC carving, relief modeling, and 3D height-map generation.
Unlike online tools or AI-based solutions, DepthGen Pro works entirely offline, ensuring full privacy, zero data upload, and maximum control over depth generation.
This software converts standard 2D images into accurate grayscale depth maps and 3D height-mapped previews using pure mathematical image processing, not artificial intelligence.
Key Features
Image to Depth Map Conversion
- Convert PNG, JPG, JPEG images into depth maps
- Grayscale-based depth calculation
- Contrast-aware depth distribution
- High-precision depth normalization
Full Manual Control
- Depth strength adjustment
- Contrast and gamma correction
- Min / max depth clamping
- Depth inversion toggle
- Detail enhancement control
- Noise reduction and smoothing filters
Edge-Aware Depth Processing
- Sobel edge detection
- Laplacian edge enhancement
- Canny edge detection
- Adjustable edge intensity for sharper engravings
Real-Time Preview
- Live depth map preview
- Split view (original + depth)
- Zoom and pan controls
- Instant parameter feedback
3D Engraving & Relief Preview
DepthGen Pro includes a real-time 3D preview engine that simulates how your depth map will look after engraving or carving.
Supported Simulations
- Laser engraving preview
- CNC relief carving
- Height-map surface rendering
3D Controls
- Adjustable Z-height scale
- Dynamic lighting and shadows
- Light angle control
- Wireframe mode for inspection
This allows you to verify engraving depth before production, saving time and materials.
Export Formats
DepthGen Pro supports professional export formats used in fabrication workflows:
- PNG grayscale depth map
- High-contrast laser engraving images
- STL height-map mesh (for CNC & 3D printing)
- Engraving-ready grayscale output
All exports are generated locally, with no internet dependency.
100% Offline & No AI
Unlike many tools on the market:
- No artificial intelligence
- No machine learning
- No cloud processing
- No image uploads
- No tracking
- No subscriptions
DepthGen Pro uses classical image processing algorithms and WebGL-based 3D rendering, making it ideal for professionals who require predictable, repeatable results.
Ideal Use Cases
- Laser engraving on wood, leather, acrylic, slate, and metal
- CNC relief carving
- 3D height-map generation
- Artistic bas-relief design
- Maker, FabLab, and workshop workflows
- Privacy-focused offline environments
Technical Overview
- Runs locally in the browser
- Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Responsive design (desktop & tablet)
- Built with modern web technologies
- No external APIs required
