Start from your file
GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ, STL, USD and CAD as STEP, IGES or Rhino 3DM come in with their parts and materials. A 3D print, a game asset, a product model or something an AI generator made all render the same way.
Online 3D rendering
Render the model you already have, in a browser tab.
Bring in the file, put it on a stage that is already lit, and path-trace it: a still for a portfolio, a cut-out PNG for a listing, or a turntable for a post. No render workstation and no install.
Model on a lit stagePath-traced in Studio
Lighting that is already done
Drop the model into a studio cove, a podium or a display stage with the lights placed, or add an HDRI sky and a sun in one click each. Then move a light and watch the preview update.
Path-traced, not a screenshot
Stills are physically based renders that converge over seconds to a minute, with real reflections and soft shadows. Save PNG, JPEG, WebP or EXR, or a PNG with a transparent background.
A turntable in a few clicks
Key a spin on the model or the camera, mark it as a loop, and render one H.264 MP4 instead of a folder of frames.
Stages your model can drop onto
Each picture is a render of a starter scene that ships with Studio. Import your model into one, swap it in for the subject, and render the same way.
A podium for a hero shot
Glass, liquid and metal on a lit podium. Reflections and contact shadows come out of the path trace, with no compositing afterwards.
A character, lit for a portfolio
A rigged figure with a three-point light setup. Pose your own character, frame it, and render a still for a portfolio or a post.
Many parts, one set
A kit of separate pieces on one set, lit once. Change a material and every piece in the shot updates on the next render.
Why Mixos
From a file to a picture people can see
A model in a folder is hard to show anyone. A raw viewport screenshot looks unfinished, and setting up a renderer is a project of its own. The gap between the two is lighting, a backdrop and a few minutes of render time, and that is what this page is about.
Import the file and it lands in a scene with its parts named. If the materials it came with are placeholders, a library of metals, plastics, woods, fabrics and glass is a drag away. Pick a stage or a sky, frame the camera, and let the path tracer resolve the picture.
Because everything stays in one saved scene, the second render is quicker than the first: the same stage and camera, a new color or a new angle. The same scene can also animate a turntable or a camera move and render it as video.
Importing, lighting and previewing renders are free with a free account. Saving finished renders and video without a watermark, up to 4K, is part of Pro at $8.99 a month or the one-time $99 license.
Frequently asked questions
Can I render my model with a transparent background?
Yes. Set the render backdrop to transparent and the still saves as a PNG with a real alpha channel, ready for a listing, a slide or a composite.
Can I render a turntable video?
Yes. Animate a spin on the model or the camera and render the clip as one MP4 (H.264) or as numbered PNG frames. Every frame is a full path trace, so a long clip takes minutes and the tab has to stay open while it renders.
My model has no textures. Can it still look good?
Yes. Apply materials from the built-in library to each part, or texture it first with Auto-Texture or Paint and bring the result back. A clean clay-style render on a lit stage also works well for showing form.
Will it render an STL from a 3D-printing site?
Yes. STL files carry geometry only, so give the model a material such as a matte plastic or a resin, set it on a stage and render it. Check that you have the right to use the model before you publish the picture.
What do I need to run it?
A browser with WebGPU: current Chrome or Edge on Windows, macOS, Linux or ChromeOS, or Safari on iPadOS 26 and later. A better GPU makes each render resolve sooner, but none is required.
