2D to VR Converter
Convert 2D to VR in your browser. Volumx uses AI depth estimation to turn any flat 2D photo or video into immersive 3D VR side-by-side (SBS) content for Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and Pico — no software to install, free to start.
2D to VR: before and after
The converted file contains two slightly offset views. Your headset shows one to each eye, which is what produces the sense of real depth in VR.
How to convert 2D to VR in 3 steps
-
STEP 1
Upload your 2D file
Drop in a 2D photo or video. Common image and video formats are supported directly in the browser.
-
STEP 2
Tune the depth
Pick an AI depth model, then adjust 3D strength and convergence to control how much depth the VR output has.
-
STEP 3
Download for VR
Get a ready-to-watch side-by-side file. Copy it to your headset and open it in any SBS-capable player.
Works with every major VR headset
Volumx exports standard side-by-side 3D rather than a proprietary format, so converted files play almost anywhere:
Why use Volumx to convert 2D to VR
Runs in the browser
No install, no plugin, no local GPU needed. Conversion happens on cloud GPUs and works from any OS.
Photos and video both
Most free tools only handle stills. Volumx converts 2D video to VR too, with temporally stable depth so frames don't flicker.
Multiple depth models
Different scenes need different models. Switch between them and compare instead of being locked to one result.
Free credits to start
Bonus credits on sign-up plus daily free credits, so you can test 2D to VR conversion before paying anything.
2D to VR — frequently asked questions
What does a 2D to VR converter actually do?
It estimates the depth of every pixel in a flat image, then synthesizes a second viewpoint to build a stereo pair. The two views are packed side-by-side so a headset can show each eye a slightly different image — which your brain fuses into 3D.
Can I convert 2D video to VR, not just photos?
Yes. Video is processed with temporally stable depth models so depth stays consistent across frames, and the result is exported as a VR-ready side-by-side video.
Will it work on Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro?
Yes. Output is standard SBS 3D, which plays on Apple Vision Pro, Quest 2 and 3, Pico, and most desktop 3D players. You just need a media player that supports side-by-side.
Is there a free 2D to VR converter?
Volumx is free to start — bonus credits at sign-up plus free credits daily. Paid plans exist for bigger files and higher volume, but you can convert without paying.
How long does conversion take?
Images usually finish in a few seconds. Videos depend on length and resolution — a short clip typically takes a few minutes on GPU-accelerated hardware.
Do I keep the rights to what I convert?
Yes — your uploads and converted results stay yours. Files are private by default; sharing to the public gallery is opt-in.
