Upload your image
Drop in a photo, render or character design. The subject should fill most of the frame.
AI image-to-3D
Turn an image into a real 3D model
Upload a single image and get an actual 3D mesh — geometry you can rotate, open in Blender, drop into a game engine or prepare for printing. This page shows a real conversion with the exact statistics parsed from the output file, so you know what to expect before you start.
Real result — not a mockup
Parsed from the GLB file

What kind of image works best?
- ✓One clear, centered subject — busy scenes confuse the depth estimation
- ✓Even lighting without harsh shadows across the subject
- ✓A front or three-quarter view showing the full silhouette
- ✓JPG, PNG or WebP; higher resolution preserves more texture detail
How it works
AI builds the mesh
Hunyuan3D-2 estimates depth, constructs geometry (~500K triangles at the standard preset) and bakes PBR texture maps.
Inspect in 360°
Rotate the model in the browser and check the inferred back side before downloading.
Download GLB
The exported GLB embeds three 2048×2048 texture maps and opens in Blender, Unity, Unreal and most slicers after conversion.
What one image cannot fully capture
- !Surfaces never visible in the image are plausible AI reconstructions, not observations
- !Very thin structures (poles, straps, wires) may merge or break up
- !Transparency and reflections become solid, textured surfaces
- !Exported meshes have open edges — run mesh repair before 3D printing
The generator exports GLB with embedded PBR textures. Need STL for printing or OBJ for a DCC tool? Convert the GLB in Blender (File → Export) — see the image-to-STL workflow page for exact steps.
Frequently asked questions
Is the output a real 3D model or just a rendered image?
A real mesh. You download a GLB file containing geometry and textures that any 3D software can open — the example on this page shows the actual triangle and vertex counts parsed from the file.
How many polygons does a generated model have?
At the standard preset, roughly 500,000 triangles with about 320,000 vertices — detailed enough for display and printing, and easy to decimate in Blender for game use.
Can I generate the back of an object from one image?
The AI infers the unseen side from the visible one. For symmetric subjects this works well; unique back-side details that were never photographed will be a plausible guess.
How long does generation take?
Typically about a minute, depending on queue load. You can leave the page and come back — the status keeps updating.
