Turn Any Selfie or Portrait into a 3D Printable Figurine

The PrintPal Face to 3D Figurine Generator transforms your selfies, portraits, and headshots into high-quality 3D models ready for 3D printing. Create custom figurines, personalized gifts, wedding cake toppers, groomsmen and bridesmaid gifts, bobblehead-style keepsakes, and desk decorations from a single photo.

How It Works

Upload a clear photo of yourself or anyone, then choose from three figurine styles. Our AI first enhances your photo into an optimized 3D-ready render, then generates a detailed 3D model using Super Resolution technology. The result is a print-ready STL, OBJ, GLB, or FBX file you can open in any slicer or 3D modeling software.

Three Figurine Styles

Realistic - A true-to-life 3D render preserving natural details, proportions, and likeness
Cartoon - A fun, animated-style version with simplified details and expressive features
Tabletop Miniature - A matte clay figurine style perfect for display, with toy-like proportions on a base

What You Can Create

Custom figurines - Miniature versions of yourself, friends, or family
Wedding cake toppers - Personalized bride and groom figurines from real photos
Groomsmen and bridesmaid gifts - Unique, personalized 3D printed keepsakes
Personalized gifts - Birthday, anniversary, and holiday gifts featuring the recipient

Frequently Asked Questions

What photos work best? A clear, well-lit photo with a front-facing or 3/4 angle view produces the best results. Full-body or waist-up shots with minimal background clutter are ideal.

How long does generation take? Figurines typically take 4-6 minutes to generate, as the process includes AI image enhancement and 3D model generation.

Can I 3D print the output directly? Yes. The STL output is ready for any FDM or resin 3D printer. Open it in Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or your preferred slicer.

Can I use group photos? For best results, use photos with a single person. The AI works best with a clear, distinct subject as the focus of the image.

What is the difference between the styles? Realistic preserves natural details and likeness. Cartoon creates a fun, animated version with simplified features. Tabletop Miniature produces a matte clay figurine look with toy-like proportions on a base.

How does billing work? Each generation uses 1 Super Resolution credit from your monthly Pro or Studio plan. Non-subscribers can use API credits (25 credits per generation).
