How do I convert a photo or image to a 3D model?

Upload your photo on MakeIt3D, pick a quality tier, and click Generate. The AI infers depth and geometry from your image and produces a textured 3D mesh in GLB, OBJ, or STL format, ready in as little as 27 seconds.

How do I 3D print from a picture?

Upload your picture to MakeIt3D and download the result as an STL file. Open it in any slicer such as PrusaSlicer, Cura, or Bambu Studio, then send it to your printer. The whole process takes under 5 minutes.

Can I convert a JPG or PNG to a 3D model for free?

Yes. Sign up for free — no credit card required. Buy a credit pack when you're ready and convert your JPG or PNG to GLB, OBJ, or STL.

How do I convert an image to STL?

Upload your image on MakeIt3D, generate the 3D model, then choose STL from the download options. STL files work with all consumer 3D printers and slicers.

What's the difference between Quick and Precise models?

Quick generates in 60 to 90 seconds for 1 credit. Precise takes 3 to 5 minutes for 3 credits and produces the highest detail, best for final assets and 3D printing.

Can I 3D print models generated by MakeIt3D?

Yes. Download in STL format and open it in any slicer, including PrusaSlicer, Cura, or Bambu Studio. The output is designed to be ready for printing.

What kind of photos work best?

Clear, well-lit photos with the subject centred against a simple background work best. Front-facing or 3/4 angle shots usually produce stronger geometry.

What file formats can I download?

Download GLB for game engines and AR/VR, OBJ for Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max, and STL for 3D printing.

One-time credit packs never expire. Subscription credits accumulate each month and unused ones carry over.

Can I use models commercially?

Yes. If you own the input photo, you own the generated model and can use it commercially on any plan.

Do I need a subscription?

No. You can sign up and explore for free, then buy a one-time credit pack or subscribe. Subscriptions give you the best credit-per-dollar ratio and priority access during high load.

How do I get credits?

Buy a one-time credit pack (no subscription needed) or subscribe for the best per-credit rate. No credit card required to sign up.

Quick Plus uses a different AI pipeline and generates in about 27 seconds for 1 credit. It is best for rapid iteration when you need results fast.

Can I share my generated models?

Yes. Each model gets a public link you can share. Viewers can inspect it in the 3D viewer without needing an account.
