Use our free and fast online tool to convert your STL (Standard Triangle Language) 3D model file into a JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) image file ready to download. Once the model has been loaded, you will be presented with a real-time 3D rendering of the model, which you will be able to rotate, zoom, and pan into the perfect position prior to capturing a screenshot for download.

The STL file format has its roots in the 1980's and is the native file format for 3D Systems stereolithography CAD software. The format defines a triangulated mesh with vertices and faces and is a popular format for sharing 3D printable model files.
There were several formats that attempted to extend the STL format, namely SolidView and VisCAM, whose formats included limited 15-bit color information for each mesh face, which is often ignored by most modern 3D software. The STL format can be either text or binary; our tools will support both formats.
Standard STL files do not contain material or color information, so this cannot be imported. There are, however, two formats (VisCAM and SolidView) that attempt to add color information to the STL file format. If our tool detects this additional color information, it will attempt to import this information.

The JPG 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 JPG is still an ideal format for digital photos.
You can convert from both text and binary STL files. If your STL file contains color information we will bring this over.
We aim to process all STL to JPG conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
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.
Yes, of course! We do not store the STL file you submit to us. The resulting JPG file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your STL file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted JPG file quickly.
Yes! Our STL to JPG tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our STL 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.
Yes. When you have converted your STL to JPG, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
