About STL files

Questions

How do I convert USDA to STL?

Drop your USDA file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the STL downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the 3D viewer.

Is my USDA file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

Will the animation still play?

No: STL holds a single picture, so only the first frame is kept.

Can I convert several USDA files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every STL inside.
