What it does

Free 3D file viewer for STL, GLB, OBJ, FBX, STEP, IGES and more. Direct replacement for Microsoft 3D Viewer (removed July 2026). Works on Windows, Android, iOS, and in any browser. No account, no upload — files stay on your device.

Free replacement for Microsoft 3D Viewer (removed July 2026). Open STL, GLB, OBJ, STEP, IGES and more in your browser or on Windows, Android, iOS — no upload, no account, fully offline.

Drop a file. No upload, no account, no install. Also the free replacement for Windows 3D Viewer on desktop. Open3D Viewer is an independent app — not the Open3D library from open3d.org. The formats people actually have on their drive — from the web's glTF standard to the FBX files Maya and Unreal ship. The web's standard for 3D — meshes, materials, animation, packed into one file. Editable glTF with external textures. Common output from Blender, Sketchfab, and most engines. The interchange format for Maya, Blender, Unreal, Unity. Rigs, skinning, animation tracks. The lingua franca of 3D printing. Triangle meshes, nothing else. The 35-year-old standard everything still exports to. Mesh…from open3d.app

    I use a ton of 3D Files as I love 3D printing in my spare time and I usually exchange them over Gmail and store them in Google Drive etc.. Google does not have a 3D Preview of files so I've built a small Google Workspace Addon that opens the file into a clean "Google like" web app that supports most files. Other solutions existed but they were full of ads and looking absolutely terrible. It got a bit of traction (around 400 users) on the store so thought I would share it here! Would love to have feedback! Each file is treated purely in the browser for maximum privacy

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
