Pixal3DTurn 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Pixal3D Results
Every example below was generated from a single input image in one API call. No manual modeling. No cleanup required.
Furniture piece
"A modern Scandinavian lounge chair photographed from the front, curved wooden frame, cream boucle cushions, subtle fabric texture, clean studio lighting, neutral background, high-end product photography, clear silhouette for 3D reconstruction"
Fashion & E-Commerce
"A futuristic high-top sneaker with layered panels, translucent sole, neon accents, mesh fabric, rubber tread, visible stitching, photographed in a studio at a three-quarter angle, crisp material detail."
Food & Beverage
"A short stack of fluffy golden pancakes on a round white plate, topped with a melting square of butter, glossy maple syrup dripping evenly down the sides, fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, and a light dusting of powdered sugar. The pancakes have soft porous edges, slightly uneven handmade layers, and a compact rounded form that looks appealing from every angle. The plate is centered on a clean wooden tabletop with a small syrup pitcher and a few scattered berries near the base. Warm breakfast atmosphere, balanced circular composition, realistic food textures, soft natural studio lighting, clean neutral background, premium food photography, optimized for single-image-to-3D model generation."
Character Asset for Gameplay
"A stylized Viking warrior character designed for 3D rigging, compact symmetrical body shape, front-facing T-pose or A-pose, broad rounded helmet with short curved horns, simple circular shield on one arm, short axe in the other hand, thick boots, fur shoulder cape, braided beard, leather tunic with metal belt buckle, clean readable silhouette from front or back, high-detail materials, game-ready character design, neutral studio background, full-body centered composition."
How to access the Pixal3D API
The client API handles the request submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/pixal3d", {
input: {
image_url: "https://example.com/your-image.jpg",
resolution: "1024",
},
logs: true,
onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);
Who Uses Pixal3D
From e-commerce platforms to game studios, teams across industries are building 3D workflows with Pixal3D on fal.

Real-World Objects in Virtual Space
Generate 3D representations of physical objects and drop them into AR or VR experiences. Bridge the gap between the physical and digital world with a single API call.
Physical to Digital in Seconds
Convert photos of furniture, fixtures, and design elements into 3D assets for interior visualization, BIM workflows, and client presentations.
Virtual Try-On Ready Assets
Create accurate 3D representations of clothing, footwear, and accessories from product images. Feed directly into virtual try-on platforms and digital fitting rooms.
Digital Props from Reference Photos
Rapidly generate digital props and set pieces from real-world reference photographs. Reduce the time from concept to production-ready 3D asset.
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.
