Photo to STL, made for makers.
Shape a portrait, a pet or an idea into a relief. Prepare your image here, choose the dimensions, then generate files for your next physical project.

Your photo stays in this browser until you submit.
Four starting points for a keepsake, a gift, a brand or a decorative panel.
AI-created source images, converted with Meshy Relief via FAL. These are actual model renders; no physical prints or carvings have been tested.
A front-facing golden retriever on a clean background gives the muzzle, ears and chest fur space to become a keepsake plaque.
The model retains the muzzle and raised fur detail. Check fine fur in your slicer; this is a shallow relief, not a full pet statue.

Crop distractions, rotate the image and keep the outline intact. Editing happens in your browser.
Set millimeters, depth and a base. The grayscale preview is a brightness simulation, not an AI depth prediction.
Generate STL, GLB and a 16-bit depth map. Inspect the files in your slicer or CAM software before fabrication.
Original practice patterns with local brightness previews. These are not AI photo results or physical prints.
A broad leaf outline demonstrates a continuous base. Try a thinner base and compare the side view in the studio.
Depth changes the relief. Inspect size and base changes in the 3D view.
A relief mesh for 3D printing. Confirm millimeter units, flatness and support needs in your slicer.
A portable model for checking the shape. Load the interactive viewer only when you need it.
A grayscale height map for supported engraving workflows. Material tests and machine settings remain your responsibility.
Prepare a pet portrait for a 3D relief: preserve ears, separate fur from the background and choose practical depth and base settings.
Turn a portrait into a shallow relief study. Learn how pose, lighting, hair and depth influence a photo-based STL before creating a print.
Prepare a high-contrast logo or mark for a relief STL, with guidance on small lettering, clean boundaries and recessed stamp designs.
Prepare a photograph as a shallow relief for a CNC workflow. Choose sensible depth and base settings, then inspect and create toolpaths in CAM.
Understand photo-based 16-bit depth maps, local grayscale previews and the difference between image brightness and inferred surface depth.
Prepare a 16-bit relief depth map for a laser engraving workflow. Understand image inversion, material tests and why grayscale is not a power setting.
Questions about preparing a photo or an order? Contact support.
Contact supportNo. A single image becomes a shallow relief with a flat or curved back. Hidden surfaces and exact real-world measurements cannot be recovered from one photo.
Upload into the browser, crop, rotate, mask and simulate grayscale for free. No image is sent to the model during editing. Formal generation requires credits.
A failed task returns its consumed credits automatically. Repeated status checks and queue messages do not charge again. A new generation with changed parameters uses a new credit charge.
Source images are kept for 3 days. Result files are available for 72 hours, or 30 days when Studio Pack credits are used. Download a copy before expiry.
Inspect dimensions, mesh integrity and material limits first. We do not generate toolpaths or guarantee a safe print, cut or engraving. Start with a small test piece.
Start with framing and dimensions. Review your image before confirming a generation.
