Vector paths to print geometry

SVG to STL converter for simple 3D printing shapes

To convert SVG to STL, extrude the file's filled paths into a mesh, set a useful depth, and download geometry that can be checked in a slicer.

This conversion is a practical route for raised logos, signs, stencils, and lettering. The SVG to STL converter lets you inspect the shape before downloading, but the final STL still needs scale, wall, and printability checks in your slicer.

The workflow

From flat paths to a useful 3D result

01

Upload a simple SVG with closed, filled paths.

02

Convert SVG to STL geometry by setting the extrusion depth and checking edges and holes.

03

Download STL, then confirm scale, orientation, supports, and mesh quality in your slicer.

Technical notes

What the converter actually does

The STL export creates triangle geometry from extruded paths. STL does not carry the preview's color, material, texture, lighting, or animation settings.

Know the limit

The output is not guaranteed to be watertight for every source file. Simplify unsupported SVG effects and use a mesh repair tool if the slicer reports geometry problems.

When should you use this workflow?

Choose SVG to STL for simple raised geometry that will be checked in a slicer. SVG to STL is most reliable with closed, filled paths and a sensible scale.

Questions answered

FAQ: svg to stl

Is this a free SVG to STL converter?

Yes. The browser editor is free to use and does not require an account.

Does STL keep SVG colors?

No. STL stores geometry, so preview colors and materials are not included.

Can I 3D print an SVG directly?

A slicer needs mesh geometry. Convert SVG to STL first, then check the downloaded model before printing.

Which SVG files work best?

Closed, filled paths with simple geometry and a clear viewBox produce the most predictable extrusion.
