Make custom View-Master reels from your own photos — free, online, and private. Upload 7 images, convert them to 3D stereo pairs with AI, and download a print-ready reel. Print at home on transparency film.
Hi everyone! For my 5-year anniversary, I really wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a custom View-Master reel of our favorite memories. However, I had two problems: I wanted some of the photos to stay private (got the idea off tiktok to make a "spicy" reel), and I didn't want to pay a company to process them.
So, I built a tool to guide me through all the steps from my computer to create a printable reel, and decided to do a bit of extra work to make it available for everyone to use! It's at viewmasterreel.com It uses AI to automatically create a depth map for your photos to give them 3D effect, and then lays them out into a printable template. Everything stays completely private as all the AI processes in your browser and it's different than loading them into a chatbot, etc, as it's just sensing depth and laying out image.
Basically all you do is choose the images, print them on transparent paper (I got one by Speedball for inkjet), cut it out and you're good to go! It works a bit better if you also reinforce the center with cardstock so that it's stronger. I did various tests and decided the best way for me was to punch out the images from an old reel then glue my new reel on one side of it. Those with Crikets could just cut their own out of card (and it makes me want to get one).
If you have an old viewer laying around (or bought one on ebay like me) and want to make a truly unique gift, I’d love for you to try it out! I've made it free to use.
I just wanted to share as I think it's a pretty useful tool (thanks active procrastination). I am going to use it for other gifts for family and friends as well, and would be great for a fun and personal gift for grandparents or other relatives to make for kids.
