About I Love 3DM
ILove3DM is a collection of web tools for 3D files that run in the browser, and the site states that no uploads are required. Converters handle OBJ, FBX, STL, USDZ, PLY, DAE and 3MF to GLB and back, an image-to-GLB tool creates a framed model from a picture, and there are compress and scale tools plus a watermark tool for textures.
You can view models online, create a shareable link, send a model by email through a transfer link, generate AR embeds and use a 3D editor. PRO tools add AI text to 3D, AI image to 3D, multiview to 3D from one to four photos, AI remesh and AI retexture, and a workflow feature automates repeated steps. The site also has a forum, pricing and affiliation pages.
The core tools are described as free, and the AI tools are marked as PRO features on a paid plan. The tools suit 3D printing, game development and design workflows where models must be converted between formats or shrunk for the web.
