Photo to USDZ for AR Quick Look on iPhone and Vision Pro

Q: How do I view my model in AR on iPhone?

Export USDZ from 3D Mate and AirDrop it to your iPhone or iPad. It opens directly in AR Quick Look, where you can place the object in your room at real size. The same file works on Apple Vision Pro.

Q: Is any of this processed in the cloud?

No. 3D Mate generates everything on your Mac with Apple Silicon. Photos and models stay on your machine until you choose to share them.

Generated by 3D Mate from the photo in the corner. AirDrop the USDZ and it is in AR.

Native USDZ, zero conversion steps.

Textures ride inside the file, so the model looks like the real object. AirDrop it to your iPhone, put it on a web page, or open it on Vision Pro. Optimize trims polygons and texture into a lighter USDZ or GLB for fast loading, and before it ships you can press space on the file in Finder to orbit it, no app to open.

Does USDZ keep the textures?

Yes. The baked texture travels inside the USDZ, so the object shows up in AR looking like the photographed original.

Can I use the models on a website?

Yes. Link the USDZ with a rel="ar" anchor for Safari's AR Quick Look, or use the GLB export with the model-viewer web component for cross-platform web 3D.
