Turn a photo or a few words into a 3D model you can restyle, animate, and export. Snap a photo, pick one from your library, or describe what you want. Tripo AI builds the model, then lets you change its look, try motions on it, and export the model for your game or animation project, all from your phone. Made for game developers, animators, and anyone who wants 3D models without learning 3D software. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo, choose an image, or type an idea. 2. Tripo AI generates your 3D model. You can leave and come back; it keeps working. 3. Change its textures or give it a motion. 4. Export it and bring it into your project. FROM PHOTO TO 3D MODEL Take a photo with your camera or choose an image from your library, and Tripo AI turns it into a 3D model. Spin it, zoom in, or tilt your phone to look around it. Switch lighting and display modes to check every detail. Want to change the photo first? Describe the edit, and Tripo AI updates the image before building the model. JUST DESCRIBE IT Prefer words? Type what you have in mind, like "a red toy car with four wheels", and Tripo AI builds the model directly from your text, with no image step in between. Not sure where to begin? Start from a template. MAKE YOUR CHARACTERS MOVE Pick a motion from the preset library and see your character move in 3D. Try a few and keep the one that fits. CHANGE ITS LOOK Your model is a starting point. Apply a preset texture style or upload a reference image to change its look without starting over. Split your model into parts, then select, hide, merge, or remove them. Rebuild the mesh with quads or triangles and set the face count you need. GET INSPIRED BY OTHER CREATORS See what other creators are making. Open any model to view it in 3D and find ideas for your own. Save the ones you like to your favorites. EXPORT IT FOR YOUR PROJECT Export your model for your game, animation, or 3D workflow. Supports GLB and FBX. Animated characters export with the motion you picked. Save the file to your phone or send it to another app. With a subscription, choose triangles or quads and set the face count before you generate. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE Want to see yourself in 3D? Turn a selfie into a character, give it a motion, and spin it around on your phone. Building an indie game? Get props, creatures, or characters to start from instead of a blank scene. Working on an animation? Turn a character idea into a 3D model and try different motions on it, right on your phone. Have a drawing or a piece of concept art? Take a photo of it and see your idea as a 3D model you can turn and inspect from every angle. Have a product idea? Test it in 3D before spending hours in modeling software. Want to hold it in your hands? Make a custom 3D model for 3D printing, a unique gift, or home décor. Stuck for ideas? Browse the community, find something you like, and make your own version from a photo or a prompt. GET STARTED Create an account and start making 3D models for free.

Record your screen and your face at the same time. A floating camera overlay follows you into any app — no timelines, no layers, no editor. Hit record, post, done. PERFECT FOR • TikTok reaction videos • Instagram Reels and Stories • YouTube Shorts • Gaming playthroughs • Tutorials and walkthroughs • Commentary and educational videos • Live-style social content NEW — PROOF OF HUMAN In an era where AI-generated video is becoming indistinguishable from reality, how do you prove you're real? Turn on the Identity Watermark and FacePiP turns every recording into its own certificate of authenticity — three layers deep. 1. SIGNED BY YOUR IPHONE Your signing key is generated inside the Secure Enclave, the dedicated security chip that protects Face ID and Apple Pay. It cannot be copied off your device — not by an attacker, not by us. That signature is woven into your video as a living watermark that refreshes as you move. 2. SEALED TO YOUR FOOTAGE This is what makes a stolen code worthless. Every watermark carries a cryptographic fingerprint of the exact moment it appears in. Lift one off a real video, paste it over a deepfake, and verification fails — the footage underneath doesn't match what the code promises. It can't be edited to fit, because changing a single character destroys the signature. And it can't be re-signed without your phone in hand. 3. PROVEN HUMAN Using the TrueDepth camera, FacePiP measures the true three-dimensional contour of your face as you record. A real face has depth. A screen replaying AI-generated video is flat — and can never earn the human seal, however convincing the image on it is. VERIFY FROM A SINGLE SCREENSHOT No account. No uploads. No original file. Screenshot any frame, long-press the watermark to open it in FacePiP, and get a verdict in three plain steps: signed by a real iPhone, a live person was present, and matches this video. A single frame carries its own proof — so it survives being reposted, re-shared and re-compressed across the internet. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • Camera overlay only. FacePiP is a camera overlay and nothing more. • Your video never leaves your phone. Verification reads the proof out of the picture itself — there is nothing to upload. • Nothing is stored per video. The only thing FacePiP publishes is a public verification key, once, so others can check your work. • Native iOS security. All screen recording, audio and video synchronisation are handled directly by the iOS system recorder. Your face. Your proof. Your reality. Identity Watermark requires the Tall shape and FacePiP Pro. Liveness verification requires an iPhone with Face ID.
