Turn a photo or 2D image into a downloadable 3D model with ImgTo3D, an AI 3D model generator and image-to-3D converter for iPhone and iPad. Upload a single image or up to four views of the same object, let AI generate the 3D geometry and textures, then preview, save, share, or export your model as GLB, STL, OBJ, or USDZ. No CAD or traditional 3D modeling experience required. IMAGE TO 3D IN A FEW TAPS • Choose a photo or 2D image from your library • Add one image or up to four views of the same object • Select Pro Mode for high-quality generation or Ultra Mode for enhanced detail • Rotate, zoom, and inspect the result in an interactive 3D model viewer • Change the viewer background to inspect your model more clearly • Save generated models to your on-device history and revisit them anytime • Share or save the finished 3D file from your iPhone or iPad EXPORT GLB, STL, OBJ, AND USDZ Choose the standard 3D file format that fits your workflow: • GLB - A compact 3D format with textures for real-time and web 3D workflows • STL - A mesh format for 3D printing and use with slicer software • OBJ - Widely supported geometry for 3D design and modeling software • USDZ - Apple’s 3D format for AR Quick Look and Apple-platform workflows Move your exported models into workflows using tools such as Blender, Unity, web-based 3D viewers, and 3D-printing slicers. CREATE 3D STARTING POINTS FOR • Game-development assets and rapid prototypes • 3D-printing and maker projects • AR, VR, and interactive web concepts • Product mockups and design exploration • Digital art, characters, props, and collectibles • Further editing, sculpting, or texturing in other 3D tools TWO QUALITY OPTIONS Pro Mode accepts one to four images of the same object, including front, side, and angled views. Use additional angles to give the AI more visual reference for your model. Ultra Mode uses one clear, high-quality front view and ImgTo3D’s most advanced generation option for enhanced geometry and texture detail. WHY IMGTO3D? Traditional 3D modeling and CAD tools can be complex and time-consuming. ImgTo3D gives beginners, 3D artists, designers, game developers, makers, students, and curious creators a simpler photo-to-3D workflow: 1. Upload your image or images 2. Generate an AI 3D model 3. Preview it from every angle 4. Export and use it in your project Built-in image tips help you choose a strong source image: use one clearly visible object against a plain, neutral background for better results. Whether you want to convert an image into a 3D model, prototype a game asset from concept art, make an STL for a 3D-printing workflow, or build a base model for Blender or Unity, ImgTo3D helps you move from 2D reference to downloadable 3D file in a few taps. Download ImgTo3D and create your first 3D model. ImgTo3D includes limited free Pro generations. A Pro subscription includes unlimited Pro generation plus Ultra credits: 1 per paid week on the weekly plan or 10 per paid year on the annual plan. Credits are added when a paid purchase or renewal is processed, not during a free trial. Existing subscribers receive their first included credits at their next paid renewal. Unused Ultra credits roll over, never expire, and remain available after your Pro subscription ends. Need more? Extra Ultra credit packs are available as separate purchases.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: 3DCellForge at 17.0 against 3D Model Maker's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 3D Model Maker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and 3DCellForge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
