Export-Ready Formats for Games and 3D Printing
Sloyd supports all major 3D formats for multiple pipelines: GLB, FBX, OBJ, USD, BLEND and more, for Unity, Unreal, Godot, Roblox Studio, and Blender, as well as STL, PLY, and 3MF for watertight files for 3D printing.
- Game and dev formats: FBX, GLB, OBJ, textured OBJ, BLEND, USD, USDZ
- 3D print formats: 3MF, OBJ, PLY, STL
- Upload JPG, PNG, or WEBP source images up to 20MB
Turn 2D Images and Drawings Into 3D Models
2D to 3D conversion takes a flat image such as a drawing, sketch, logo, or illustration and reconstructs the depth, volume, and hidden sides as a solid 3D mesh with matching textures. The conversion is automatic, so you skip box modeling, retopology, and sculpting and get an export-ready model in seconds.
- Convert drawings, sketches, and concept art into 3D
- Turn logos and flat icons into 3D for mockups and signage
- Reconstruct depth and hidden sides from a single 2D image
Photo to 3D Model: Scan Real Objects From a Picture
A photo to 3D model workflow turns a picture of a real object into a textured 3D model, with no scanner or turntable rig. This picture to 3D model process keeps the colors, materials, and proportions that make props, toys, furniture, and characters recognizable, and one clear photo is usually enough.
- Rebuild real objects from a single photograph
- Keeps recognizable colors, materials, and proportions
- Best with the full subject in frame and even lighting
A 3D Image Creator and 3D Image Generator in One
Sloyd is a 3D image creator and 3D image generator in one: give it an input image and it produces real 3D geometry you can orbit, light, and export, not another flat render. As an image to 3D AI it builds the mesh, lays out UVs, and paints textures automatically, all in the browser with nothing to install.
- Produces real 3D geometry, not a flat 2D render
- Automatic mesh, UVs, and textures from one image
- Runs in the browser with nothing to install

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI generate 3D models from images?
Yes. Sloyd's AI converts 2D photos, sketches, and reference images into fully textured 3D models in seconds. Upload an image and the generator creates detailed geometry and textures automatically — no manual modeling required. You can also generate models from text descriptions using our Text-to-3D tool or browse our library of free 3D models for instant downloads.
Is Sloyd's Image to 3D converter free?
Generating is free to try. Guests get one Image to 3D generation each day without an account. Paid plans include unlimited generations.
What file formats can I export (OBJ, GLB, STL)?
Sloyd supports FBX, GLB, OBJ, BLEND, USD, and USDZ, as well as 3D print formats like 3MF, OBJ, PLY, and STL.
Do I need to sign up to generate 3D models?
No. Guests can generate one model each day without creating an account.
How do I convert a 2D image into a 3D model?
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WEBP image and select Generate. Sloyd creates the geometry and textures automatically so you can inspect the finished model in your browser.
What image formats can I upload?
The Image to 3D converter supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP source images up to 20MB.
Can I use generated models for game development and 3D printing?
For game development, Sloyd supports BLEND, FBX, GLB, OBJ, textured OBJ bundles, USD, and USDZ. For 3D printing, it supports 3MF, BLEND, OBJ, PLY, and STL.
Do I need 3D modeling experience?
No. Sloyd generates the geometry and textures from your image automatically, so no manual modeling experience is required.
Can I turn my 3D model into a video?
Yes. Use a render or screenshot of your model as the start frame in the AI video generator and describe how it should move. The clip is generated with sound.
Can I convert a 2D image to a 3D model?
Yes. The converter is built for 2D to 3D: upload a flat image such as a drawing, sketch, concept art, logo, or illustration and the AI reconstructs depth, volume, and hidden sides to produce a full 3D model. You do not need a 3D scan or multiple angles — a single 2D image is enough to generate a model you can rotate, refine, and export.
What makes a good input image for image to 3D?
For a photo to 3D model, use a picture with the whole subject in frame, even lighting, and a plain, uncluttered background so the AI can separate the object from its surroundings. Sharp, front-facing images with the full object visible give the cleanest geometry. Busy backgrounds, heavy shadows, motion blur, or a subject cropped at the edges make the reconstruction harder, so a clear single-subject picture works best.
Can I export an STL for 3D printing?
Yes. Image to 3D models export in 3MF, OBJ, PLY, and STL for 3D printing, and the results are watertight so they print well even at small sizes. If you are starting from a flat file rather than a generated model, you can also prepare it with the JPG to STL converter before you slice.
Is image to 3D free or unlimited?
It is free to try: guests can generate one image to 3D model each day without creating an account. For unlimited image to 3D generations, the Sloyd Plus and Sloyd Pro plans remove the daily limit so you can generate as many models as you need.
