Convert your JPEG file to USD

to

Use our free and fast online tool to convert your JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) image or logo into 3D USD (Universal Scene Description) mesh/model files suitable for printing with a 3D printer or for loading into your favorite 3D editing package.

How to Convert your JPEG to USD Online?

Here are three simple steps to create an USD file from a JPEG file.

Upload a JPEG

Click the "Upload a File" button and select JPEG to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Select your Options

Set the dimensions and other options, and click the "Convert to USD" button to convert your JPEG to USD.

Download your USD

Image to USD Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool do?

Our tool converts image (bitmap) data into 3D geometry, which is then saved to the common USD file format.

What files does it support?

The JPEG to USD tool can convert the most common image file formats, such as PNG, JPG or any one of our supported image formats. The output is provided in USD format, which can be used in most 3D graphics applications.

How does the tool interpret the image pixel data?

3D geometry is created based on the luminosity of each pixel in the source image. For example, using the default tool settings, a black pixel represents a 3D pixel height of 0mm, and a white pixel represents a 3D pixel height of 10mm. Colors in between these will be converted to a 3D pixel in this range.

What does the "Invert Output" option do?

This option reverses the black-to-white range conversion, so with this option set, a black pixel will be rendered as a 3D pixel of 10mm in height, and a white pixel will be rendered as 0mm.

How do I control the Model detail?

The "Detail" option allows you to control the resolution of the created USD file. Low detail will generate the model quickly and result in a smaller file. The High option will take longer to generate and can result in very large download files.

What does the "Enable Smoothing" option do?

With this option, the JPEG to USD converter will attempt to remove or smooth out any spikes in the resulting USD 3D model. Spikes are usually caused by highly contrasting adjacent pixels in the source JPEG file.

What is the maximum JPEG resolution I can upload?

The JPEG you upload can be any size; however, our tool will resize your image to a maximum of 800x800 pixels for normal users, and for premium subscription holders, this is increased to a maximum of 1200x1200 pixels.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my JPEG file to USD?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your JPEG file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the JPEG to USD conversion has completed, you can download your USD file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my JPEG to USD?

We aim to process all JPEG to USD conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the JPEG to USD conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my JPEG to USD on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the JPEG file you submit to us. The resulting USD file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Can I convert my JPEG to USD on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our JPEG to USD tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our JPEG conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

Description

The JPEG file format is a popular image format most commonly used for the storage of digital photographs. The format implements a lossy-compression technology that allows for high levels of file compression with little perceptible loss of image quality, making it an ideal format for photographs.

This format is one of the most used on the internet today, with its small file sizes making it ideal for website images. Although there are newer image formats that may offer higher compression and quality, the JPEG is still an ideal format for digital photos.

Description

The USD format is a relatively new 3D file format developed by Pixar in 2016. The format is open source and has the support of major players in the space, such as Apple, Adobe, and more.

USD files encapsulate a full 3D scene along with any associated 3D models, animations, and visual effects into a single compact binary file. USD files can be opened with most popular 3D editing software, such as Blender.
