Step 1

What should your photo become?

Not a 3D scan: the AI first draws your photo in a style you pick, then we build a real printable piece from that drawing. Every card shows a sample photo and the real 3D model made from it. Drag a model to turn it.

Made from photos like yours

Every piece below is a real 3D model, made from a photo, a drawing or a few words. Hover over a piece, or tap it, to see where it started.

Sample photos: the people were created by AI and do not exist; the animals and places are Unsplash photos (free to use). The drawings, paintings, layered pieces, signs, cookie cutters and figures are real results.

FAQ

Questions, answered

When can I start?

Very soon. We are putting the finishing touches on ArtLine3D. At launch you sign up in seconds and get 5 free credits to start.

Is this a 3D scan of my photo?

No. ArtLine3D does not turn a photo into a full 3D model of the scene. The AI draws the photo first, in a style you pick, and the piece is built from that drawing: relief art for the wall, a sign, a cookie cutter, or a stylised big-head figure of one person.

Which one should I pick?

For one person: 3D Figure, a big-head collectible. For a couple, a family or a pet on the wall: 3D Doodle (one flowing line, raised and framed) or 3D Layers (a drawing filled with sheets of colour). For a colour picture on a printer with colour swaps: 3D Paint. For words: 3D Sign. For baking: 3D Cookie Cutter. The same photo can become another 3D print any time.

Do I need a 3D printer?

To print the piece, yes: any FDM printer works (Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and others). Without a printer you can still make the art, download the files and send them to a friend or a local print service.

Which slicers can I use?

Any slicer: you download standard STL and 3MF files. There are one-click “Open in” buttons for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer and Cura, and 3D Paint also gives you a filament swap list and an AMS slot plan.

What is 3D Layers?

3D Layers turns your photo into a doodle line drawing and fills the areas between the lines with your own filament colours. Every colour is printed as its own stacked sheet, like layered cut paper, with the lines raised on top. Six palette styles; recolouring is free. Choose how it looks: stacked layers (one colour per layer, so it prints with manual colour swaps too), flat, or topography with hills and valleys.

What is 3D Figure?

3D Figure turns a photo of a person into a big-head collectible figure, a bust or a keychain. The AI reads the hair, colours, glasses, beard and clothes, and you can add hats, masks, a cape and more for free. It comes as pre-cut parts, one colour each and already turned the right way up, so an ordinary printer, no AMS needed, prints it without supports. 8 credits per figure.

How does 3D Paint work?

3D Paint is our own filament-painting technology, developed in-house. It plans thin layers of translucent filament so they blend into the colours of your picture, using the spools you already own.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. Buy a pack only when you need more.

What if the AI fails?

Then you don’t pay for it. If an AI drawing or painting fails, its credits go back to your account automatically, and we tell you when that happens.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to make your art. We send them to our AI provider (OpenAI) to create the drawing or painting, keep them in your private projects, and delete them when you delete the project or your account. We never sell your photos. Read the privacy policy.

What photos can I use?

Only photos you have the right to use: your own, or ones you have permission for. No nudity or sexual content, nothing that involves minors in a sexual or harmful way, no violence or gore, and no hateful or illegal content. Such photos are refused automatically and your credits come back. See the terms of service.

No photo? Can I describe what I want instead?

Yes. In any maker, choose “Describe it” in the photo step and type what you want to see, in any language. The AI creates a picture for you for 2 credits, and from there everything works just like with a photo. The same content rules apply to what you type.

Can I sell prints of my own photos?

Yes. If you own the photo (or have permission from its photographer and the people in it), you may sell prints you make from it. Styles that imitate famous characters or brands are for personal use only. See the terms of service.

What do I get for free?

5 credits when you sign up, enough for about 3 AI doodles or 2 AI paintings. Previews, edits and re-downloads of a design you paid for are always free.
