About this app

3D Photo Watch Face is a Wear OS watch face creator. Make custom photo watch faces with a 3D depth and parallax effect.

Bring your photos to life on your wrist. 3D Photo Watch Face transforms any photo into a cinematic parallax watch face with a depth effect that reacts as you tilt your wrist. Turn your smartwatch into a moving memory.

✨ KEY FEATURES

🌀 CINEMATIC 3D DEPTH
This isn't just a static photo. The time is elegantly layered behind your subject, creating instant depth. Move your wrist, and the background shifts subtly, creating a parallax effect that makes your watch face feel alive.

🖼️ INSTANT SUBJECT DETECTION
No "Portrait Mode" photo? No problem. The app intelligently identifies the subject in your picture, whether it's a selfie, your dog, or a landmark, and automatically separates it from the background. It works with any photo in your gallery.

🔒 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE
Your photos are personal and stay that way. All processing happens directly on your phone. We never upload, store, or share your memories with the cloud.

🎨 POWERFUL CUSTOMIZATION
Design your perfect layout:
• Perfect Composition: Pan and zoom to crop your photo exactly how you want it.
• Creative Typography: Choose from modern font styles, various sizes, and the unique Outline style.
• Smart Color Match: The app analyzes your photo and suggests time colors that complement it.
• Flexible Layout: Position the time at the top, center or bottom to best frame your subject.

📊 USEFUL INFO AT A GLANCE
Stay connected without clutter. Add up to 4 customizable data slots (complications) to your watchfaces:
• Battery Life
• Step Count
• Date & Day
• Heart Rate
• Plus data from your other favorite apps!

🌙 ELEGANT ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
When your watch is idle, the face transitions into a sleek, battery-saving "Ambient Mode" that dims the photo while keeping the time clearly visible.

⚡ PRO EFFECTS: CINEMATIC UPGRADES
Take your watch face to the next level with premium visual effects:

• PORTRAIT GLOW: Studio-quality lighting applied to your photo. Choose Gold Sparkle for warm & golden-hour vibes or Moonlight for cool & silver ambiance and complete with bokeh particles, rim light, and cinematic color grading.

• MINUTE EFFECT: A subtle light animation plays across the time every minute. Pick Sweep for a sleek glint that slides across the digits, or Pulse for a soft luminous flash. A satisfying micro-interaction you'll never get tired of.

• OUTLINE TIME STYLE: Hollow, see-through digits that let your photo shine right through the text. A refined, modern look that blends the time seamlessly into your image.

🔋 BUILT FOR WEAR OS
Engineered using the modern Watch Face Format for smooth animations and optimal battery efficiency.

Ratings and reviews

This is a really nice watch face app, nicest I've found for photos. A couple of things would make it even better: 1) once pro version is purchased not having to submit the order number and wait for a code if I want to change my face and send it to my watch again - pro version of app should be static; 2) colors for the complications as well as clock so they stand out against photos. Otherwise, great app! update: got code & explanation for why the issue with pro version, great developer response

Working great on a Galaxy Watch 5, the additional complications added in v2 are awesome, exactly what I needed. I'd like to maybe specify the depth of the parallax effect as an option, but other than that, great watch face.

Really liking this app so far. It works surprisingly well and the 3D effect looks great on my watch. It picks up the subject in my photos without any fuss. Simple to use, and honestly a feature I didn’t know I’d enjoy this much. I love it.
