Your Photo,
Transformed Into Light
A sports moment. A wedding dance. Cherry blossoms in the spring. A DnD character that took three sessions to build. Whatever photo holds the memory — we turn it into a glowing 3D lamp, made by hand.

She kept the cherry blossom photo on her phone for two years, waiting for the right frame. Now it glows.

Last season. His number. Forever lit.

Album Covers & Music
Your favorite record in 3D. Their first show.

Family Moments
The photo you've been meaning to frame for three years. Frame it in light.

Golden hour. String lights on a porch. The kind of photo that looks better backlit than any other way.
The Gift Nobody Expects
If you're stuck on a gift for someone who has everything — this is it. They will not see it coming.
How does a 3D photo lamp work?
We 3D print your photo using a technique called lithophane — varying the thickness of the material so light passes through at different intensities. In daylight it looks like a beautiful white relief panel. Backlit, your photo glows with stunning depth and contrast.

All sizes include design optimization. Flat $9 shipping.
4×5" Lithophane
Perfect for a bedside table, desk, or shelf. Most popular size for single portraits.

a note from the maker
It started with a gift.
My first lithophane was an anniversary gift for my girlfriend — a photo of us at the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. I watched her hold it up to a window and see our photo glow in a way a framed print never could. That was the moment.
I got into 3D printing to grow as an engineer — a hands-on outlet alongside my technical work. Lithophanes turned out to be the perfect intersection of precision and something deeply personal.
Every lamp is still made by hand, start to finish. The reaction when someone sees their photo light up for the first time never gets old.
