Free 3D tools
for architects and designers

Convert and check 3D files in your browser, from IFC building models to STL prints.

Every tool runs on your own computer: no file is uploaded and no account is needed.

IFC viewer

Open IFC files from Revit, ArchiCAD and Tekla. Filter by element and level, check properties and measure.

Open the IFC viewer

STEP viewer

Open STEP and IGES files from SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and Inventor. See every part and measure.

Open the STEP viewer

STL viewer

View STL files for 3D printing with size, volume, weight and a watertight check.

Open the STL viewer

3D converter

Convert between STEP, OBJ, FBX, STL, glTF, PLY, IFC and more, in both directions.

How the tools work

Free, private and made for real files

The same 3 promises apply to every tool on this page.

Your files stay with you

The tools open and convert files inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to our server, so confidential projects stay confidential.

Free, with no account

No sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. We are a 3D studio, and the tools are free because some people who use them later need a model built or rendered.

Built for real project files

STEP assemblies, IFC building models, OBJ with textures and large STL files all open, with the size and triangle count shown before you convert.

What we do

When you need more than a file tool

The tools change file formats. Building the model, fixing it or turning it into images that sell a project is our work.

Questions about the free tools

Who makes them, what they cost and what you may do with the files.

Ask us a question
Who makes these tools?
3D Studio, an architectural visualization studio working since 2013 for architects, developers and designers in 17 countries. We use the same file formats every day in our own projects.
Can I use the converted files in commercial work?
Yes. The files you convert are yours, and the tools add no watermark and no licence of their own. The only limits are the ones on the model you started with.
Which tools are coming next?
A DWG to PDF converter for CAD drawings is next. A tool is added to this page when it works, not before.
