What is a STEP file?

STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data, ISO 10303-21) is the neutral CAD format for exchanging solid models between systems like SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Fusion 360 and FreeCAD. AP203 and AP214 are the most common protocols; AP242 adds PMI/MBD annotations.

How to open a STEP file online

Drag your .step or .stp file into the viewer below. Geometry is tessellated in your browser with OCCT compiled to WebAssembly — you can measure distance and angle, cut sections, explode assemblies and take screenshots. Nothing is uploaded; closing the tab discards everything.

FAQ

Is this STEP viewer really free?

Yes. Viewing and measuring STEP files locally in your browser is free; no registration is required.

Are my STEP files uploaded to a server?

No. Parsing and rendering run entirely in your browser memory via WebAssembly. You can verify this in the browser Network tab — no file bytes are transferred.

Which STEP protocols are supported?

AP203, AP214 and AP242 files are supported, including large assemblies. Parsing can be cancelled midway while keeping the last loaded model.
