Normal Map Online

Normal Map Online is a web-based normal map and PBR texture generator. It turns local images or text prompts into texture maps for 3D work, and it is presented as a free Photoshop alternative.

The tool offers two generation methods. One uploads a source image and automatically generates height, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion, and ORM maps. The other uses AI prompts, with fields for category, type, finish, model, and resolution, plus a random prompt helper. It also includes options to send results to PBR, seamless, or transparent modes, a batch processing mode, and controls to tune normal strength, blur, displacement depth, and roughness. The interface shows model and scene choices such as sphere, cube, plane, cylinder, studio HDR, outdoor HDR, indoor HDR, and custom environments.

Normal Map Online states that it uses the device’s GPU through WebGL, and it says processing happens locally on the user’s machine with no source images uploaded to remote servers. The site also notes that some features may not work if the browser does not support WebGL. Output can be downloaded, and the page says the generated textures are commercially safe and royalty-free. It also mentions free AI image credits every day and premium AI features for advanced workflows, along with a Pricing page and a prompt to log in with Google to generate AI textures.

The page names use cases including game development, architectural visualization, 3D printing, VR/AR, material editing, and themed 3D scene creation. It also supports common image formats for uploaded photographs, diffuse maps, or albedo textures. The interface is available in English, Japanese, German, French, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese for Taiwan and Hong Kong, and pt-BR.
