Pixal3D Turn Any Image into a 3D Model

One image. One API call. A fully textured, high-fidelity 3D model in GLB format. Pixal3D handles the geometry and texture generation so you don't have to. Drag to rotate and view each model.


Available Endpoint

Start building with the Pixal3D API

One endpoint for image-to-3D generation. Pass an image URL, choose your resolution, and get back a production-ready GLB file.


What Pixal3D Can Do

Single Image Input

One Photo Is All You Need

Pixal3D generates a complete 3D model from a single photograph. No multi-angle capture rigs or specialized scanning hardware required. Upload any image and get back a fully textured GLB file.

High-Fidelity Geometry

Accurate Mesh Reconstruction

The model reconstructs precise surface geometry from your input image, capturing fine surface details, accurate proportions, and depth that match the original subject. Works across objects, products, characters, and more.

Realistic Textures

Production-Ready Texture Maps

Generated models include physically-based rendering textures that look great in any 3D engine, game, e-commerce platform, or AR experience. Output is GLB format, compatible with all major 3D tools.

For Developers

One image.
One GLB file.

fal.ai handles the infrastructure: fast inference, auto-scaling, and a developer-friendly API. No GPUs to manage.

  • Serverless: scales to zero, scales to millions
  • Pay per generation, no minimums
  • Python and JavaScript SDKs, plus REST API
import fal_client

result = fal_client.run(
    "fal-ai/pixal3d",
    arguments={
        "image_url": "https://example.com/your-image.jpg",
        "resolution": "1024",

FAQ

Common questions about Pixal3D

What is Pixal3D?

Pixal3D is an AI model that converts a single 2D image into a high-fidelity 3D model with detailed geometry and realistic textures. It outputs GLB files compatible with all major 3D tools, game engines, and AR/VR platforms.

What image formats does Pixal3D accept?

Pixal3D accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF image formats. You can pass a publicly accessible image URL or upload a file directly through the API.

What format does Pixal3D output?

Pixal3D outputs GLB files, the binary variant of the glTF standard. GLB is the industry-standard format for 3D on the web and is supported by Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, three.js, and all major AR/VR platforms.

What resolution options are available?

Pixal3D offers three resolution tiers: 1024p at $0.30, 2048p at $0.42, and 4096p at $0.42. Higher resolutions produce more detailed texture maps, ideal for close-up product visualization or high-fidelity game assets.

How do I get started with the Pixal3D API?

Sign up at fal.ai, grab an API key from your dashboard, and install the fal client for Python or JavaScript. You can also try Pixal3D instantly in the playground with no setup required.

Can I use the generated 3D models commercially?

Yes. Commercial use is permitted. Generated 3D models can be used in products, games, e-commerce platforms, AR/VR applications, and any other commercial context.

How accurate is the 3D reconstruction?

Pixal3D produces high-fidelity geometry and realistic textures from a single image. Results are best for objects with clear, well-lit photography. Complex transparent or reflective surfaces may require higher resolution tiers for optimal detail.

Can I process images in bulk?

Yes. The fal API is built for high-volume workloads. Submit requests in parallel and fal's infrastructure scales automatically to match your throughput with no concurrency limits or infrastructure to manage.
