Convert SVG to STL
Convert a SVG file to STL in your browser. Free, no upload, no sign-up.
Convert SVG files to STL directly in your browser. The converter extrudes every filled shape in the SVG to the thickness you choose and writes the resulting solid as STL. Nothing is uploaded, there is no file size limit beyond your computer's memory, and the result downloads instantly. STL is accepted by every slicer and 3D printer, so it is the safest format to hand to anyone who needs to print your model.
How to convert SVG to STL
- 1Drop your SVG file
Drag a .svg file onto the box above or click to choose one. Filled paths are extruded; strokes, gradients, text elements that were not converted to outlines, and embedded raster images are ignored. Convert text to paths in your vector editor first.
- 2Set the extrusion depth
Enter how thick the 3D shape should be in millimeters before dropping the file, or change it and reconvert.
- 3Check the preview
The model renders in 3D so you can confirm it loaded correctly. Dimensions, volume and triangle count are shown next to it; open edges are flagged if the mesh is not watertight.
- 4Download the STL
Adjust the export options if needed and click download. Colors, textures and materials are dropped because STL cannot store them. Multiple objects are merged into one triangle soup; units are not recorded, so make sure the model is already in millimeters.
What is a SVG file?
SVG is the standard 2D vector format. It has no depth, so converting it to a 3D format means extruding the filled shapes into solids of a chosen thickness. This is how logos, text, cookie cutters, keychains and signs are turned into printable models.
Commonly used by: Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma, logo files, laser cutting

What is a STL file?
STL is the oldest and most widely supported 3D printing format. It stores nothing but a list of triangles, with no color, texture, unit or scale information. Every slicer and almost every 3D tool can read it, which is why it is still the default exchange format for printable models.
Commonly used by: 3D printer slicers (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio), CAD export, Thingiverse / Printables
