Short answer: Owl3D is a desktop 2D-to-3D converter you download from owl3d.com for Windows or an Apple silicon Mac. If you'd rather convert where your photos and videos already are, on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Vision Pro, Spatial Media Toolkit does it in one App Store app, on your device, and saves straight back to Photos. On Vision Pro it goes further: it plays your ordinary 2D videos in 3D live, shows your albums in 3D and edits spatial video.

Why people look for an Owl3D alternative

  • They shoot on an iPhone. With a desktop converter, every video goes to a computer, gets converted, then comes back to your phone or headset. Spatial Media Toolkit converts on the iPhone itself, from your library to your library.
  • They watch on Apple Vision Pro. We found no Owl3D app for Vision Pro on the App Store. Spatial Media Toolkit has a native Vision Pro app.
  • They want one app on every Apple device. The same App Store app runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro.

What you get with Spatial Media Toolkit

  • Convert on your iPhone or iPad. Pick photos and videos straight from your library, preview the 3D, and save the result to Photos.
  • A real Vision Pro app. A Gallery that shows your albums in 3D, live 3D playback of ordinary 2D videos without converting them first, any photo as a Spatial Scene, and a video editor that joins spatial clips.
  • The formats Apple and Quest owners need. Apple spatial photos and videos for Vision Pro and iPhone, side-by-side files for Meta Quest and other headsets, plus red-cyan anaglyph and looping wiggle videos.
  • Your 3D files, converted too. It reads Apple spatial, side-by-side, half side-by-side and top-and-bottom files and converts between them.
  • Private by design. Depth is estimated and the conversion runs on your device. Your photos and videos aren't uploaded.

Owl3D may suit you better if you work on a Windows PC or need 360° video. For converting and watching on Apple devices, Spatial Media Toolkit is built for exactly that.
