Free image-to-voxel and 3D voxel maker

Voxel Studio converts pictures and vector graphics into blocks you can inspect, recolour and export. Add PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG and other image types your browser can decode. Turn a logo into a solid extrusion, make an embossed landscape from a brightness map, create pixel-art-style cubes, or combine several images into one scene.

How to convert an image to voxels

Import a file, choose voxel width, a depth style and a limited palette. Transparent areas are skipped. You can reduce gradient colours or choose monochrome, then click Rebuild.

Edit, select and assemble parts

Click a colour group in the 3D view or palette. Recolour every matching block, hide it, isolate it or drag it to a new position. Import several images to make layered compositions.

Export models for other software

Download GLB with material colours, OBJ plus its MTL material file, or STL for geometry-only workflows. Save a JSON project to keep source images and editable settings.

Frequently asked questions

Does SVG to voxel conversion preserve vector paths?

The browser rasterizes SVG artwork before generating voxels. Increase voxel width for more detail. Complex externally linked SVG resources may be restricted by the browser.

Can one photo become a complete 3D object?

One image contains only a 2D view, so the editor creates artistic 3D reliefs, extrusions and block arrangements. It cannot infer accurate unseen sides, real-world dimensions or hidden surfaces.

Is the app mobile-compatible?

Yes. The preview supports touch orbiting and pinch zoom. Switch to Move colour or Move image to drag a selected part. Import, palette and export controls appear below the viewer on narrow screens.

The editor runs locally in your browser after its 3D library loads; images are not sent to a server by this page. Compatible browser, WebGL and internet access for the library are required.

Voxel Studio — Image to Voxel 3D Print Creator

Create image to voxel 3D models, limit colors for 3D printing, arrange image layers, and export GLB, OBJ+MTL, or color-free STL geometry.

What this tool does

Voxel Studio converts imported images into editable 3D voxel models. It can turn image pixels into color groups, give them a flat, solid, or relief-style form, and arrange multiple image layers in one scene.

Who this is for

Artists, makers, students, and 3D-printing hobbyists who want to turn 2D artwork or images into voxel-style models they can edit and export.

How to use it

  1. Add or drop one or more supported images, such as PNG, JPG, SVG, or WebP.
  2. Choose the voxel generation style, voxel width, maximum depth, transparency threshold, and background-removal settings.
  3. Set the color limit, select a color group to edit, and use the color and image movement tools to arrange parts.
  4. Export a GLB, OBJ with MTL materials, or STL mesh. Save the editable project as JSON or download a PNG preview when you want to continue later.

Inputs

Import image files as separate layers. Adjust the voxel style, width, depth, color limit, transparency threshold, background tolerance, and single-color options. The palette limit ranges from 2 to 24 editable colors.

Outputs

3D printing and color limits

Voxel Studio can export an STL mesh to take into a 3D-printing slicer. Reduce the palette before exporting when you want fewer color groups in a color-capable workflow. STL itself stores geometry only, so it does not retain the palette; GLB or OBJ+MTL preserve material colors for compatible software, but the slicer and printer must support the chosen workflow. Check scale, mesh intersections, and required supports before printing; this app does not validate printability.

Saving and data

Use Save project and Open to save and reload an editable JSON project file. The app processes imported images in the browser and does not sync project files to an account. Its 3D engine loads from jsDelivr, and the page includes the site's standard Google Analytics page-view tag when online.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert an image to a 3D-printable model?

Yes. Export the voxel mesh as STL for a slicer, then check scale, intersections, supports, and your printer settings. Export does not guarantee a successful print.

Does the STL keep the image colors?

No. STL contains geometry only. GLB and OBJ+MTL can preserve material colors in compatible software; actual multi-color printing depends on your slicer and printer.

How many colors can I use?

The editable palette can be limited to 2–24 colors. Choose a limit that fits your target material and printing workflow.
