Two ways in
Auto textures the entire mesh from a prompt; the painter gives you layers, masks and 2,600+ CC0 materials to work by hand.
Texture a 3D model online
Texture a model in a browser tab.
Open a tab, drop in your mesh, and texture it — either by describing the look and letting Auto do the whole model, or by painting and layering PBR materials yourself. No download, no licence, no workstation.
Runs on the machine you have
macOS, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS, on WebGPU. A Chromebook textures the same model a workstation does.
Bring your own model
GLB, glTF, OBJ, FBX and PLY go in; PBR map sets and a textured GLB come out.
Free to author
Importing, texturing, layering and saving cost nothing. Export is the paid line.
Why Mixos
Texturing without the install
Most 3D texturing still assumes a desktop install and a licence, which is a strange requirement for a job that is mostly looking at a model and deciding what it is made of. Mixos runs that job in a browser tab on WebGPU — the same GPU pipeline a native app would use, reached through a URL instead of an installer.
There are two honest routes and they suit different work. If you want the model finished fast, Auto takes a text prompt and textures the whole mesh in one pass, then hands you the result as editable layers. If you want control, the painter gives you a layer stack, masks, smart materials and a CC0 library to build the look deliberately. Most people use both: auto-texture for the base, then paint over the parts that matter.
What comes out is a normal PBR map set — base color, normal, roughness, metallic, height — plus a textured GLB, so the result opens in Blender, Unreal, Unity, Godot, Cinema 4D or a web viewer without a conversion step. Authoring is free; exporting the maps is the paid step, and the AI pass needs a desktop browser with WebGPU rather than a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Importing a model, texturing it, layering and saving your project are free. Downloading the finished map set is the paid step, and a free account gets trial AI credits that cover a first auto-texture run.
Do I need to install or sign up for anything?
No install and no plugin. An account is needed to run the AI passes, because those spend credits, and to keep projects between sessions.
Will it run on a Chromebook?
Yes, on a Chromebook with WebGPU in Chrome. That is one of the reasons the whole thing is in a browser rather than an installer.
Can I texture on a phone or iPad?
You can paint and sculpt on iPad and iPhone through the app, but the AI auto-texture pass is desktop-only — it needs more GPU than a phone reliably has, and it is switched off inside the iOS app.
What can I export?
The PBR map set — base color, normal, roughness, metallic, height, ambient occlusion — and a textured GLB, at up to 4K on a paid plan.
