JPG to STL
JPEG photos carry soft gradients, which turn into smooth, sculpted slopes. That suits landscapes, portraits and textures better than flat graphics. Compression noise is smoothed before the mesh is built.

- 1Add a pictureDrop a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG. A sample image is preloaded so you can see the result straight away.
- 2Tune depth and detailSlide depth for how far shapes rise, and detail for how fine the mesh is. The 3D preview updates live.
- 3Export STL or GLBSTL comes out watertight and 100 mm wide, ready for your slicer.
Tips for better results
- High-contrast photos give the most readable reliefs.
- For portraits, try the lithophane tool instead: photos look best backlit.
Which photos make good reliefs
- Side-lit subjects work best: raking light creates natural brightness differences that turn into depth.
- Busy backgrounds become bumpy noise. Crop tightly or blur the background before converting.
- Skies and white walls become flat plateaus, which is useful as a calm frame around a subject.
- JPEG artefacts can show up as tiny ridges. Lower the detail slider a little to smooth them out without losing the main shapes.
