A relief is flat. A sculptor takes days.
Image to STL converters raise a picture off a plate, which is fine for a sign but not for a figurine of your dog. Paying someone to model it costs $50 or more and a week of waiting. pixstl builds the full shape from one photo, back and sides included, in about 30 seconds.

Questions before you upload
Is the preview really free?
Yes. Every signed in account gets 3 previews a day at no cost. You spend a credit only when you download the full resolution file.
How does it know what the back looks like?
The AI model has learned from millions of 3D shapes and infers the sides the camera did not see. Common subjects such as pets, toys and statues come out plausible; unusual backs may differ from the real object.
Which photos work best?
One subject with the whole body in the frame and a plain background. A close up of a face works too and becomes a bust. Group photos come out as one combined model, so crop to one subject.
What size can I print?
You choose the height before downloading. Most figurines print well between 60 and 150 mm on a 0.4 mm nozzle.
Is the model in colour?
No. You get grey geometry, which is what a printer needs. Print in the filament colour you like or paint it afterwards.
What if a model fails or will not print?
Failed generations never use a preview or a credit. If a downloaded file will not open or print, contact support and we return the credit.
Can I sell prints of my models?
Yes. Every paid download includes commercial use, so you can sell prints of the model.
What happens to my photo?
It is uploaded to generate the model and deleted after 24 hours. Generated models are kept for 30 days, then deleted.
