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.

Mixos is a 3D creative suite that runs on your iPhone and iPad. Five apps, one account: scan something real, sculpt a form, texture it, build it into a scene, and turn a flat mark into a 3D logo. SCAN — capture something real • Stand an object on a plain surface and walk around it, and your phone builds a textured 3D model — all on the device, nothing uploaded • Or scan a whole room, a wall or a car as you walk through it • Turn a finished scan over in 3D before you send it anywhere • Open it in Studio to build with, or in Paint to texture • Needs a device with a LiDAR sensor PAINT — texture your models • Paint straight onto the 3D model with your finger or Apple Pencil, or work on the flat UV map • Every stroke lands in a real PBR layer stack — base colour, roughness, metallic, normal and height — so what you paint is what a render engine sees • Layers with masks, blend modes and per-layer opacity • Height-aware material blending, so rust settles into crevices the way it should • A library of ready-made materials and brush tips MOLD — sculpt the form • Push, pull and smooth geometry with a full sculpting brush set • Symmetry, masking and remeshing • Send a finished sculpt straight into Paint to texture it STUDIO — build the scene • A real scene graph: parent objects, transform them, arrange a shot • Polygon modelling on the mesh itself — extrude, inset, bevel, loop cut, bridge and more • Keyframe animation on a timeline • Light and shade the whole scene, not one object at a time LOGO — a flat mark, in 3D • Open a ready-made mark and give it real depth, bevelled edges and materials • Every colour becomes its own layer, so the mark comes apart in space • Describe a mark instead, or bring your own artwork — both use AI credits from your plan SEE IT IN YOUR ROOM Put a model on the table in front of you in AR, in Apple's own viewer. Walk around it, and pinch to set the size. Free on every plan. BRING YOUR OWN MODELS Import .glb, .gltf, .fbx, .obj, .ply, .stl, .dae and .3mf and start working on them straight away. MAKE MATERIALS WITH AI Describe what you want — rusted steel, glazed ceramic, worn leather — and get a tiling PBR material, texture or mask you can paint with. TAKE YOUR WORK OUT Export a finished texture set, material or model and save it straight to Files, or send it on with the share sheet. (Pro and Max.) YOUR WORK GOES WITH YOU Projects sync to your Mixos account automatically. Start something on the train, open it on your desktop, keep going. SUBSCRIPTIONS Mixos Pro — $8.99 per month, or $71.88 per year • 50 AI credits every month • 25 GB of cloud storage • AI materials, textures, masks and 3D models • Export finished textures, materials and models • Your AI generations stay private Mixos Max — $17.99 per month, or $167.88 per year • 150 AI credits every month • 50 GB of cloud storage • AI materials, textures, masks and 3D models • Export finished textures, materials and models • Your AI generations stay private Painting, sculpting, modelling and viewing in AR are free on every plan. Exporting your files needs Pro or Max. Without a subscription you get 100 MB of cloud storage and 10 one-time trial AI credits, and your generations are shared to the public Community library rather than kept private. Mixos needs an account so your work is saved. Mixos Pro and Mixos Max are auto-renewing subscriptions, sold with a one-month or one-year term. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically for the same period and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.mixos.io/privacy
