Convert to STL
Turn common source formats into clean binary or ASCII STL geometry.
Convert 3MF, OBJ, FBX, STEP, GLB, PNG, JPG, SVG and DXF to STL — or convert STL to STEP, OBJ, FBX and GLB. OBJ and STL use local browser processing when supported; advanced formats and repair use the conversion API with an upload notice.
Choose a precise STL workflow, process locally when supported, and inspect the geometry before you export it.
Turn common source formats into clean binary or ASCII STL geometry.
Export an existing STL mesh into the format your editor or CAD workflow expects.
Extrude 2D artwork and photos into printable STL geometry.
Inspect, check and repair an STL before it reaches your slicer.
Convert STL files in your browser with a generous file limit, a live mesh preview, and checks that help you catch problems before you download or slice.
| STL tool feature | Our STL converter | Cloud STL converters |
|---|---|---|
| STL processing mode | Local browser processing when supported; API fallback is disclosed | Uploads STL files to remote servers |
| Maximum file size | Up to 250 MB per STL or input file | Often capped at 50–100 MB on free tiers |
| Built-in STL check | Live face normal and open edge preview | Blind conversion without STL inspection |
| STL output quality | Clean binary STL and one-click STL repair | Raw output only |
Need a direct route? Try OBJ to STL, STEP to STL, PNG to STL, SVG to STL, STL Viewer or Repair STL.
Supported OBJ and STL files up to 25 MB run locally in a Web Worker. STEP, FBX, GLB, ZIP, image and repair workflows use the conversion API when needed, and the interface tells you before the source file is uploaded.
Yes. Switch the converter direction to From STL, or use the dedicated STL to STEP, STL to OBJ, STL to FBX and STL to GLB tools.
PNG and SVG files become extruded STL geometry. JPG files map brightness levels into variable-height STL reliefs ready for slicing.
Load the file in the STL Checker to review open edges and face normals, then click Repair STL to close supported holes and make the STL file manifold.
STL does not store reliable unit metadata. Check the exported dimensions and confirm the intended scale in your slicer or CAD application.
STL stores triangle surface geometry for printing. OBJ can also carry normals, UVs and material references, so it is often better for editing and rendering.
