DepthFlow is a free, open-source Python application and library that converts still images into 3D parallax effect videos using monocular depth estimation models and an optimized ray-marching GLSL shader. It renders high-quality, seamless-loop videos at any resolution via FFmpeg, with both a CLI and a Python API.

Use cases

• turn photos into 3D parallax videos
• animate still images with depth effect
• generate looping parallax animations for social media
• estimate depth maps from single images
• create 2.5D motion from digital art
• batch render image-to-video animations locally

When to choose

• you want free, local, watermark-free image-to-video parallax rendering
• you need high-resolution (up to 8K) GPU-accelerated output with seamless loops
• you want programmatic control over camera and animation via a Python API
• you want to use SOTA depth estimation models like Depth Anything v2

When to avoid

• you need a polished GUI or web interface (the Gradio WebUI was removed in v1.0)
• you want commercial use of non-Small Depth Anything models (CC BY-NC license restrictions)
• you need batch processing built in (removed in v1.0; use scripts instead)
• you lack a GPU or FFmpeg for rendering and encoding
