Convert SVG to USDZ
Convert a SVG file to USDZ in your browser. Free, no upload, no sign-up.
Convert SVG files to USDZ directly in your browser. The converter extrudes every filled shape in the SVG to the thickness you choose and writes the resulting solid as USDZ. Nothing is uploaded, there is no file size limit beyond your computer's memory, and the result downloads instantly. USDZ lets iPhone and iPad users view the model in augmented reality directly from Safari, with no app required.
How to convert SVG to USDZ
- 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 USDZ
Adjust the export options if needed and click download. Geometry and basic materials are exported. Meshes without materials get a neutral gray so AR Quick Look renders them.
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 USDZ file?
USDZ is Apple's packaging of Pixar's Universal Scene Description. It is the format iOS uses for AR Quick Look: open a .usdz link in Safari and the model appears in your room through the camera. It stores meshes, PBR materials and textures in a single uncompressed ZIP.
Commonly used by: Apple AR Quick Look, iPhone and iPad, Reality Composer, Pixar USD pipelines
