Key features
  • 71 input formats support
  • 23 output formats support
  • Automatic format detection
  • WebAssembly processing for speed
  • Local browser-only processing
  • 3D model compression
  • CAD solids support with OpenCASCADE
  • BIM file support with web-ifc
  • One continuous session workflow
  • Six conversion engines
  • Mesh Simplification: reduce triangle count with quadric-error decimation while preserving silhouette
  • LOD Chains: generate multiple detail levels from one high-poly asset
  • Watertight Rebuild: close holes and rebuild surfaces on damaged models
  • Mesh Inspection: detect non-manifold edges, holes, winding, missing UVs and platform compatibility
  • 3D File Converter: convert between OBJ, STL, PLY, OFF and GLB formats
  • 3D Model Viewer: inspect models with orbit controls, grid and wireframe
  • 3D GIF Maker: export rotating GIF or MP4 turntable animations from models
  • REST API: programmatic access for scripts and asset pipelines
  • MCP server: AI client integration for agents like Claude
What makes it different
  • Runs entirely in browser with no server uploads required
  • Detects input format automatically without dropdown selection
  • Maintains one model across multiple tools in single session
  • Supports both specialized CAD and game development formats
  • Star topology enables all new formats to convert to all outputs
  • Queue-backed pipeline with Postgres state tracking maintains work across device refreshes and crashes
  • Data privacy: models never used for ML training, stored in private object storage with signed expiring downloads
  • Owned hardware infrastructure with zero-egress storage keeps economics viable for large 3D files
  • Same account and allowances across Studio, REST API and MCP interfaces
  • Processing split by tier: paid work runs on dedicated workers not held up behind free traffic
