Let’s check how to create a 3D photo on Facebook, who continues to add new functions on its platform to stop losing users to TikTok or Instagram. While these two platforms are betting on stories and short videos, Facebook has decided to regain ground with 3D photos.
Creating a 3D photo without depth information
Actually this tool has been present on Facebook for several years now, it was not possible to make them on a phone. This has been announced by the company through a statement, where it explains how it relies on an algorithm to convert any photograph into a 3D photo, even if it does not have depth information about it.
To make this possible, the social network has improved the algorithm so that it better understands the photographs and their depth. All this through a neural network, which is responsible for understanding and discovering the three dimensions of a photograph, even though it has been taken with single-lens cameras. Thanks to this, the platform is able to analyze your photographs and create a 3D photo.

How to create a 3D photo on Facebook?
To do this, we just have to access our Facebook profile and click on adding content. Now before writing any message, browse through the different options that the application offers you. From uploading a photo or video to registering a visit, broadcasting a live video or asking for recommendations, until you reach the 3D Photo.
After clicking on it, the application will redirect us to our gallery. After selecting the photo which we want to apply a 3D background, just click on it and wait for the neural network to convert it. In a matter of seconds, Facebook will show you a 3D photo so you can share it with your contacts.
Although the examples shared by Facebook are too impressive compared to the ones you will get with your mobile phone, the truth is that it works quite well. After obtaining the photograph, the social network will invite you to share it with your friends. However, you will not be able to download it to use it on third-party social networks or instant messaging platforms.
