How to create a 3D model from an image in three steps
Choose a clear reference, generate the asset, then inspect its geometry and materials before download or conversion.
01
Choose a usable reference image
Add one clear PNG, JPEG, or WebP reference with a visible subject, then select the model version that fits the level of detail you need.
02
Create a tracked private task
Sign in to start the task. AI3DGenerator checks access, reserves credits, and sends the reference to the selected model.
03
Inspect, then choose the next path
Open the asset in the private viewer. Inspect it, then choose one of the available download or conversion actions.
Reference tips
Prepare an image-to-3D reference the model can read.
The image-to-3D model can only infer what the reference shows. Center one subject, keep its edges visible, and use balanced lighting before spending credits on a task.
Use a front view
A straight-on or lightly angled view makes the main silhouette and proportion easier for the image-to-3D task to interpret.
Keep one subject
Avoid extra objects, hands, labels, reflections, or busy scenery that can make the intended subject ambiguous.
Choose a clean background
A clean background and visible edge contrast help separate the subject from the scene before the task is submitted.
Use even lighting
Balanced light preserves shape, edge, and material cues while reducing harsh shadows that can hide a surface or opening.
Keep details sharp
Use an unblurred image with enough resolution to show the edges, openings, and details that should influence the generated model.
Use supported files
Use PNG, JPEG, or WebP references. V1 accepts files up to 8 MB, while later model versions accept files up to 10 MB.
Use cases
Use image to 3D for product, game, print, and creative models.
Game prototyping
Turn concept art into an early prop or character model for a silhouette, scale, and art-direction check ahead of the final asset pass.
Product concepts
Use a product photo to explore form, proportion, and material direction ahead of detailed CAD, surfacing, or visualization work.
Print planning
Create an initial mesh for print planning, then inspect its orientation and choose a supported export before slicer or repair work.
Creative production
Move an illustration, collectible, or character concept into an inspectable 3D model for the next creative tool.
Inspect and hand off
Inspect and convert your image-to-3D model
Check geometry, topology, materials, scale, and orientation in the browser viewer. Then prepare the asset for its next tool.
Format boundaries
Choose an image-to-3D export path that matches the next tool.
The format panel separates browser exports, preview inputs, and private processing paths. Choose the route that matches your next tool.
