# SnapTo3D

> SnapTo3D is an AI-powered web application that turns a clear photo of one person into a textured personal 3D character for browser preview, supported animation and scene workflows, GLB download, and eligible physical figurine creation.

The canonical site is https://www.snapto3d.dev. Public product information is primarily written in English. Generated results depend on the source photo, and a single image cannot reveal every hidden surface. Treat the linked product, pricing, privacy, and terms pages as the authoritative current sources.
