SVG to STL

Drop an SVG and it gets pushed up into a 3D shape you can print. Logos, name signs, stencils, keychains.

Good to know

Getting your SVG ready

  • Turn text into shapes. In Inkscape use Path → Object to Path. In Illustrator use Type → Create Outlines.
  • Turn lines into filled shapes. A line with no fill has no area. Inkscape: Path → Stroke to Path. Illustrator: Object → Path → Outline Stroke.
  • Keep it to one colour. Every filled shape is pushed up the same amount, whatever its colour.

Things people make with it

  • Name signs and door plates: add a 2 mm base plate so the letters hold together.
  • Keychains: draw a small circle as a hole in the shape before you export the SVG.
  • Logos for the wall or a shelf, printed in two colours by swapping filament at the layer where the letters start.

How it works

  1. 1Drop an SVG file (filled shapes work best).
  2. 2Set how wide and how tall it should be in mm. Add a base plate if you want one.
  3. 3Download the STL.

Questions people ask

Checked October 2026

Do my files get uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The file never leaves your computer, so it works for client files and unreleased designs too.
Why is part of my SVG missing?
Lines with no fill have no area, so there's nothing to push up. In Inkscape use Path → Stroke to Path, or in Illustrator use Outline Stroke, then save again.
Do holes in letters (like O and A) stay open?
Yes, as long as they're cut-outs in the same path. If the hole is a separate white shape on top, delete it so it isn't printed as a solid.
