How do I create a 3D photo on Facebook?
To create 3D photos on Facebook from a computer, you'll need to create a depth map file. To share 3D photos without this, log into the Facebook app for iOS
or Android
.
You can share 3D photos from your Feed, a group or a Page. Keep in mind that you'll need to be an admin or editor
to post a 3D photo from a Page.

Keep in mind
:
3D photos can’t be edited. If you edit a photo using Facebook, your computer or a third-party app, you may not be able to convert it into a 3D photo.
If you’d like to share a 3D photo, you can’t add multiple photos to a post. Only one 3D photo can be shared at a time.
At this time, 3D photos can't be added to an album.
If you're posting a 3D photo from a Page, 3D photos can't be boosted or used in ads at this time.
