DepthFlow is an AI-powered image-to-animation platform that transforms static photos into dynamic 3D parallax scenes and short videos. It uses depth estimation and motion synthesis to simulate realistic camera movement, giving flat images a sense of depth and immersion without requiring manual 3D modeling. Users can upload a photo and generate volumetric animations that enhance visual storytelling for creative and marketing use cases. It supports customizable motion presets such as zoom, dolly, circle, and pan, allowing creators to fine-tune how scenes move and behave. DepthFlow can estimate depth maps automatically or use user-provided maps, enabling more precise control over the final effect. Advanced rendering options, post-processing effects, and GPU-accelerated performance help produce high-quality outputs suitable for social media, digital art, and video content.

Copilot 3D is an experimental, AI-powered tool available in Microsoft’s Copilot Labs that enables users to convert a single 2D photo (JPG or PNG, max 10 MB) into a fully rendered 3D model (GLB format) without any prior experience. Designed for creative simplicity, it makes 3D generation accessible, requiring only an image upload and returning a downloadable 3D output. The tool is globally available at no extra cost to anyone with a personal Microsoft account, and the resulting models support applications like game design, animation, 3D printing, virtual and augmented reality, as well as digital content creation. While Copilot 3D excels at rendering common inanimate objects, like furniture or everyday items, it often performs poorly with complex subjects such as animals or human figures. The system includes guardrails that prevent the modeling of copyrighted or sensitive imagery, and it stores creations for 28 days.
