Free Online PSD to STL Converter

With our PSD to STL converter, you can effortlessly convert your PSD image file into a 3D heightmap model, which can then be loaded into your favorite 3D editing software. Our image to STL tool can batch convert up to 20 PSD files at one time and quickly turn them into 3D models.

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your PSD file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted PSD file before this time.

Our PSD to STL image conversion tool comes with a set of options allowing you to fine-tune the details of how the 3D model is generated. Once you have selected a file, you will see a button, which you can click to reveal adjustable properties such as whether the tool should use a Heightmap or Extrude algorithm to create the 3D model. There are also properties to control the size and detail of the model.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my PSD file to STL?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your PSD file to upload. Your PSD file will be uploaded to our servers. When the PSD to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file right away.

How long does it take to convert my PSD to STL?

We aim to process all PSD to STL conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the PSD to STL conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How is the 3D model generated from my PSD image?

Our tool uses a Heightmap process whereby the STL 3D model is created based on the luminosity of the individual pixels in your PSD image.

Is there a limit to the size of my image?

Yes, to ensure our tool converts the PSD image quickly and with a reasonable final file size, your tool will resize any image larger than 600x600 pixels.

File format information for PSD and STL

ExtensionPSD
Full NameAdobe Photoshop
TypeImage
Mime Typeimage/vnd.adobe.photoshop
FormatBinary
Opens WithPhotoshop

PSD files are the native format used by Adobe Photoshop, one of the most popular image editing applications available. As Photoshop is still under active development, the PSD format is also being enhanced with each new release.

Within a PSD file are the various elements that make up a Photoshop document, from images and text to document metadata; these are all stored in the proprietary PSD format. PSD files also support layers, allowing elements to be edited individually without affecting elements on other layers.

As PSD files are primarily designed for use with Photoshop, for maximum compatibility, Photoshop is best placed to edit them. Other image editing applications can open PSD files, though not all features may be supported.

ExtensionSTL
Full NameStandard Triangle Language
Type3D Model
Mime Typeapplication/vnd.ms-pki.stl
FormatText
Opens WithBlender, MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio

The STL, or Standard Triangle Language, file format has been around since the '80s and is supported by most modern 3D modeling applications. In particular, the STL format has become something of a standard format within the area of 3D printing, despite the rise of more modern formats such as 3MF.

STL files come in two flavors: binary or text format. The text format is human-readable, making it easy to perform manual edits, but can lead to very large file sizes. As you can imagine, the binary format is much more compact and represents the majority of the STL files you are likely to encounter.

The format itself is very simple; the 3D model is represented by a sequential list of triangles, with each triangle defined with 3 points consisting of their X, Y, and Z positions, along with an additional vector that contains the face normal (the direction the face is pointing). There is an additional attribute block for each triangle; however, this is largely unused and thus unsupported.

Information for converting from PSD to STL

Our PSD converter will convert your PSD file to a 3D model using the Heightmap process, whereby 2D pixels, based on their luminosity, are converted into 3D space to create a full 3D STL model ready for download for further processing in your favorite 3D editing package or for printing on a 3D printer.
