Input — what we read

Output — what you get

Processing speed

Typical times on our servers, measured from the start of the conversion. The exact time depends on resolution, number of frames and how busy it is; you get an email the moment your video is ready.

Depth you control

Not every video asks for the same 3D. Pick a style, or fine-tune it yourself.

• Comfort

  Gentle depth that is easy on the eyes — the best choice for close-ups and long viewing.

• Cinema

  Clear, natural depth, like a 3D film in the cinema. The default, and right for most videos.

• Aggressive

  The strongest effect. Striking, but fine details can show small artefacts.

Advanced: set depth strength from 50 to 150%, and how far things come out of the screen (pop-out, 0 to 100%). Not happy with the result? You can re-convert each video once for free within 7 days.

What makes it different

• Watch in the Quest browser

  Open xclusivevr.com/vr in the headset, type a 6-character code and it streams. No app, no cable, no file to copy.

• Your own 3D cinema

  On Meta Quest your videos play in a choice of places: a cinema, a hotel suite, a lounge, a beach, a lake, or your own room in passthrough.

• Apple's own spatial format

  For Apple Vision Pro you get MV-HEVC, the format Photos plays natively — not only side-by-side for third-party apps.

• HDR from start to finish

  HDR10, HLG and PQ go in and come out as 10-bit HDR, not flattened to SDR.

• Full resolution per eye

  Full Side-by-Side: each eye gets the full width of your video, not half.

• Almost any file

  From phone video to old AVI and WMV, at any frame rate, in 2D, 360° or VR180.

• Try before you pay

  The first 2 minutes are free, without an account or card.

• No subscription

  Pay per minute, valid for 12 months. Changed your mind? Refund within 7 days if you used less than 20% of your minutes.

How 2D becomes 3D

A normal video was filmed with one lens, so it holds one point of view. Real 3D needs two: one for your left eye, one for your right. The conversion creates that second view, frame by frame.

1. 1

   Depth for every frame

   AI estimates how far away every part of the picture is — the person in front, the room behind, the sky at the back. The result is a depth map for each frame.

2. 2

   A second point of view

   From that depth, a view for the other eye is calculated: close objects shift more than distant ones, exactly the difference your eyes see in real life.

3. 3

   Filling the edges

   Moving the viewpoint reveals a little of what was hidden behind objects. Those edges are filled in, and kept steady from frame to frame, so nothing flickers.

4. 4

   A real 3D file

   Both views are encoded into one stereoscopic file with 3D metadata, so headsets and players recognise it straight away.

Your original video is never edited. The 3D version is a new file, made from it.

Where you can watch it

Your 3D video is a normal file with 3D information inside, so it plays far beyond our own site. Most players recognise it by themselves; if one doesn't, choose side-by-side (Full SBS) in its 3D settings.
