Turn a photo into a 3D model

Upload a single image of an object. AI reconstruction infers the hidden sides and returns a textured mesh. For logos, drawings and flat artwork, relief mode builds a solid 3D panel straight from the pixels in a couple of seconds.

How it works

Three steps, no software to install.

  1. 1

    Upload one image

    PNG, JPG or WebP up to 4 MB. A single object on a plain background gives the cleanest result.

  2. 2

    Pick an engine

    AI reconstruction for real objects and characters, or relief mode for flat art that should become a raised panel.

  3. 3

    Inspect and download

    Orbit the result in the browser, then download GLB for web and game engines, or the other formats for DCC tools.

Pick your engine. Pay only for what you run.

AI reconstruction

10 credits

Full textured 3D object reconstructed from one photo. Best for products, characters and props.

What people make with it

Product mock-ups

Turn a catalogue shot into a GLB you can drop into a web viewer or AR preview.

Game props

Block out background assets from concept art, then refine topology in Blender.

Character concepts

Get a first-pass 3D version of a 2D character to test silhouette and proportions.

Signs and plaques

Relief mode turns a logo into a raised, printable panel with a solid base.

Tips for better results

  • Shoot the object at a three-quarter angle so more of its shape is visible.
  • Avoid heavy shadows and reflections; the model will bake them into the texture.
  • Crop tightly. Background clutter can be reconstructed as part of the object.
  • Transparent PNGs work well: the empty area is ignored.

Image to 3D
questions.

Can one photo really become a full 3D model?

Yes, with a caveat: the back of the object is inferred rather than measured, so it is plausible rather than exact. For accurate digital twins you still need photogrammetry or a scanner.

Which format should I download?

GLB for the web, three.js, Unity, Unreal and Blender. USDZ for Apple AR Quick Look. FBX or OBJ if your pipeline expects them. Relief results also include STL for 3D printing.

Do failed generations cost credits?

No. If a generation fails, the credits are refunded to your balance automatically.

Who owns the models I create?

You do. Paid plans include commercial use; see the terms for details.
