What is an STL file?
STL (stereolithography) is the de-facto standard mesh format for 3D printing: a triangle facade with no color, texture or units metadata. Both binary and ASCII encodings are common.
How to view an STL file online
Drag your .stl file below. The mesh renders in your browser via WebGL — rotate, zoom, and check the model before sending it to a slicer. Nothing leaves your device.
FAQ
Does this STL viewer work with binary and ASCII STL?
Yes, both encodings are detected and parsed automatically.
Can I check a model before 3D printing?
Yes — the viewer gives you a quick geometry check; for wall thickness or repair, use the companion mesh tools.
Are STL files uploaded?
No. Rendering happens in your browser via WebGL; no bytes are sent to any server.
