3D model maker

A photo or text into a 3D model.

Gifsy builds the shape, paints the texture and, for characters, fits a skeleton, on our GPU in a few minutes. You get a GLB for Blender, Unity, Unreal or the web, or an embed your visitors can drag.

Prompt

“A cartoon fox adventurer with a green scarf”

Made in about 2 minutes

Two ways in, one model out

Start from a photo you already have, or from a few words. Either way you see what the GPU gets first.

Image to 3D

Drop in a photo or a drawing with one clear subject. The background comes off in your browser, then the GPU builds the shape and paints it from every side.

  • PNG, JPG or WebP
  • Background removed on your device
  • Shape 13 s, texture 36 s
Start with a photo

Text to 3D

Describe it and pick Character or Product. The GPU draws a reference image for you to approve first, free (up to 20 a day), so a credit only goes on a model you like.

  • Free reference images
  • Character or Product
  • 1 credit per model
Start with text

Drag it. These are real models.

Eight models from our own pipeline, each made from one line of text, in the same viewer an embed uses.

Built for real 3D work

A GLB is one binary glTF file, mesh and texture inside. No converter, no plugin.

  • Game characters and props

    Rigged characters and textured props you can drop into Unity, Unreal or Godot as a starting point or a placeholder.

  • Products for your store

    Turn a product shot into a model shoppers can turn round on the product page, with one embed.

  • Animation and avatars

    Characters come back with a skeleton, ready to pose in Blender or retarget Mixamo animations to.

How to make a 3D model from a photo or text

An AI 3D model generator turns one photo, or a line of text, into a mesh you can turn all the way round. Here it takes three steps, and you check what the GPU gets before you pay.

  1. 01

    Start from a photo or text

    Upload a photo with one clear subject (its background is removed in your browser), or describe the object or character you want.

  2. 02

    Check what the GPU gets

    See the exact cut-out of your photo, or approve a free reference image drawn from your text (up to 20 a day) before you spend a credit.

  3. 03

    Download or embed

    The GPU builds the shape, paints the texture and, for characters, fits a skeleton. Download the GLB, or switch on an embed and paste one iframe.

What you get

These are the fox's own numbers, from its job record. Yours depend on the subject.

  • File

    GLB

    Opens in Blender, Unity, Unreal, Godot and three.js.

  • Rig

    28 bones

    Characters only. Products come back as a textured mesh.

  • Mesh

    35k faces

    Clean enough to pose, retopologise or kitbash.

  • Texture

    2048 px

    Painted from your image, all the way round.

How long it takes

  • Shape

    13 s

    The mesh is built from the cut-out.

  • Texture

    36 s

    Painted from your image.

  • Rig

    63 s

    A skeleton for characters; objects skip it.

  • Total

    About 2 min

    Once it starts. At busy moments you wait in a queue and see your place.

What works, and what doesn't

  • Works best
  • One clear subject, fully in frame
  • A plain or simple background behind it
  • A front view of something roughly symmetrical
  • Stylised characters, props, products, toys
  • Not for
  • Scenes, rooms or several objects at once: one subject per model
  • Exact replicas: one photo shows one side, so the back is the model's guess
  • Print-ready meshes: we don't check watertightness or wall thickness
  • Fine text, logos and thin parts like hair strands or wires

Where your photo goes

3D models need a real GPU, so this is the one Gifsy tool that runs on a server. The background is removed in your browser first; only the cut-out goes to our GPU, and it is deleted once the model is made or the job fails. Read the privacy policy

What it costs

Every account gets 2 free models. One model costs 1 credit; reference images for text are free. After that, plans start at $9 a month, and a model that fails on our side refunds its credit automatically. See pricing

Questions

What file do I get?

A GLB: one binary glTF file with the mesh and its texture inside. Blender, Unity, Unreal, Godot, three.js and most 3D tools open it directly.

Are characters rigged?

Yes. Pick Character and the model comes back with a skeleton, ready to pose or animate in Blender or a game engine. Pick Object for props, products and food, which come back as a textured mesh without bones.

How long does a model take?

A few minutes once it starts, about two for a typical model. The GPU makes a couple at a time, so at busy moments you wait in a queue and the page shows your place in it.

What does it cost?

Every account gets 2 free credits, and one model costs 1 credit. After that, monthly plans start at $9 a month for 10 credits; unused credits reset each month and you can cancel any time. If a model fails on our side, its credit comes back automatically.

Does text to 3D cost extra?

No. From text, the GPU first draws a reference image for you to approve, and that's free (up to 20 a day). You only spend a credit when you approve it and the model is made.

Is my photo uploaded?

The background is removed in your browser first, and you see the exact cut-out before you spend a credit. Only that cut-out goes to our GPU, and it's deleted once your model is made or the job fails. The finished model is kept privately in your account.

Which photos work best?

One clear subject, fully in frame, on a plain or simple background. One photo only shows one side, so the hidden side is the model's best guess: a front view of a symmetrical subject comes out best.

Can I embed a model on my website?

Yes. Turn on the embed for a model in your dashboard and paste the iframe into Webflow, Framer, WordPress or any page; visitors can drag it around. It isn't listed anywhere and you can turn it off. Free accounts' embeds show a small Gifsy badge, which any 3D model plan removes.

Can I use the models commercially?

Yes. Models you make are yours to use, including in commercial projects and client work.

Can I 3D-print a model?

Possibly, but we don't check meshes for printing (watertightness, wall thickness), so expect to repair and convert it in your slicer or Blender first.

What's a 3D photo, then?

Gifsy's other, free tool: one photo turned into a 2.5D parallax scene you can embed on a website and drag about ±20°. It isn't a mesh, but it keeps your photo exactly as it is.
