What is FaceTo3D?
FaceTo3D is an AI tool made for faces. You upload a portrait photo (JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB), or several views of the same person, and choose the output: Head (face and neck only) or Bust (head, shoulders and visible clothing). Smart Face Extraction removes the background and body for you, and after about four minutes the textured 3D model appears in an interactive viewer.
You download the model as GLB, OBJ or STL. For printing, the STL gives you the shape; the texture stays in the GLB and OBJ for games, animation and VR. The same site also has a general Image to 3D tool and an AI face swap.
You need an account, and the free sign-up credits only cover a face swap, not a 3D model. Each face model costs 30 credits; credit packs start at $4.90 for 30 credits (one model), and monthly and yearly plans are also offered. Credits stay valid for a year, and the packs include commercial usage rights.
