About this generator
Glintmake's Image to STL Converter turns a PNG, JPG or WebP into a printable STL in one of three modes. Relief makes brightness into height, for plaques and textured tiles. Extrude raises everything darker than a threshold to one height with straight walls, for logos, text and silhouettes; set the base to 0 to get the shape alone. Lithophane makes a thin plate where dark areas are thicker, to hold up to a light.
You set the width in millimeters, the raised height, the base thickness and the detail (60 to 300 points across the long side), with an invert toggle and a 3D preview that updates as you change things. The download is a closed binary STL in millimeters. Everything runs in the browser, so there is no upload, no sign-up and no limit.
It makes heightmaps from one picture, so it cannot build a full 3D object with a back and sides. Glintmake is a small site of AI tools, some of which sell one-off packs; this converter is free.
