# Importing and exporting How to bring 3D files, images, SVGs and fonts into Womp, and how to export 3D models, images and video, with what is Pro. **Use this when:** you want to import a file into a project, or download your work as a 3D file, an image or a video. **Don't use this for:** ordering a print from Womp. Read Ordering a print. ## Import a file At the bottom of the scene list, the import area says "Drag and drop any 3D object, image, or SVG". Drop a file on it, or click it to pick what you are importing: | Option | What it does | Plan | | --- | --- | --- | | `3D Object` | Imports a 3D model into the scene | Free | | `Reference image` | Shows an image as a reference, not in the scene | Free | | `Flat image` | Adds an image as a flat plane in the scene | Free | | `SVG` | Converts an SVG or image into editable vector paths | Pro | | `Sticker` | Imports an image as a sticker you can put on surfaces | Pro | `Flat image`, `SVG` and `Sticker` are marked experimental. If you drag an image onto the import area, Womp asks which of these to add it as. ![The import menu: 3D Object (Import 3D models .obj, .gltf, .glb, etc.), Reference image, Flat image, SVG and Sticker. SVG and Sticker show the Pro crown.](/docs/images/ui/import-export-import-menu.webp#narrow) *Click the drop area under the scene list to open this menu.* **3D formats:** `.stl`, `.obj`, `.fbx`, `.gltf`, `.glb`, `.ply`, `.dae`, `.3ds`, `.off`, `.stp`, `.step` and `.zip`. **Upload limit:** 150 MB a file on Free, 300 MB on Pro. ## Mesh or Field When you import a 3D model, Womp asks "How do you want to import it?" - **`Mesh`** ("Best for 3D printing"): keeps the highest visual detail. It is view-only: it cannot goop or blend with other objects. - **`Field (Special Primitive)`** ("Best for modeling"): goops and blends with other objects. Converting loses a little detail, so it is less ideal for 3D printing. Tick `Split into separate objects` to import each part of the file as its own object. Then click `Import as Mesh` or `Import as Field`. ## Import storage Each project has import storage. The `Imports` tab of the scene list shows how much is used. When it is full, Womp says "Import storage limit reached" and offers `Manage imports`. Pro has 2x the import storage of Free. ## Upload a font Select a 3D text object, open the font picker and click `Upload a font`. Use `.ttf` or `.otf` files. Variable fonts are not supported. Uploading fonts is a Pro feature. ## Where exports live Click `Share` in the top bar. The menu has three download groups: - **`Download image`:** `Download full-screen image` and `Download frame`. - **`Download video`:** `Download screen recording` and `Download camera animation`. - **`Download 3D`:** `Download 3D mesh` (the whole scene) and `Download 3D mesh (selected)`. ![The Share menu: Download image (Download full-screen image, Download frame), Download video (Download screen recording, Download camera animation), Download 3D (Download 3D mesh, Download 3D mesh (selected)), Share (Publish to community, Invite collaborators) and Print (Print with Womp).](/docs/images/ui/import-export-share-menu.webp#narrow) *The `Share` menu. `Download 3D mesh (selected)` is greyed out until you select something.* In a team, viewers cannot export. ## Export a 3D model 1. Optional: select the objects you want. 2. Click `Share`, then `Download 3D mesh` or `Download 3D mesh (selected)`. 3. The `Export entire scene` window opens on the `3D mesh` tab. Choose `Entire Scene` or `Selection`. 4. Choose a `Usecase`: - `Standard`: each area is a separate mesh. - `3D Print`: one mesh without overlapping parts. - `Raw`: one mesh with overlapping parts and no textures. OBJ only. 5. Choose a `Format`: OBJ, STL, PLY, GLTF, GLB, USD, FBX, DAE or X3D. 6. Set detail with `Quality`, or turn on `Fixed Triangles` and set `Triangle count (k)` from 1,000 to 256,000. 7. Optional: `Disable textures` (not for STL or PLY) or `Clean topology` (Pro). 8. Click `Export`. The file downloads when it is ready. ![The Export entire scene window on the 3D mesh tab: Entire Scene and Selection, a preview, Usecase Standard, Format OBJ, Mesh quality (max triangle count) 64000, Disable textures, Clean topology with the Pro crown, and the Close and Export buttons.](/docs/images/ui/import-export-3d-mesh.webp#narrow) *The `Export entire scene` window on the `3D mesh` tab. It also has `Image` and `Video` tabs.* ## Export an image `Download full-screen image` opens `Export entire scene` on the `Image` tab. Switch between `Full screen` and `Frame` at the top. `Frame` exports the frame you set in the camera settings. - **Resolution:** 4K, 2K, 1080p or 720p. - **Format:** PNG, JPG or SVG. SVG is Pro. - **`Background`:** untick it for a transparent background. You can only change it for PNG. - **`Floor grid`:** shows the floor grid. It needs `Background` on. ![The Export entire scene window on the Image tab: Full screen and Frame, a preview, Resolution 720p, Format PNG, Background checked, Floor grid unchecked, and Close and Export.](/docs/images/ui/import-export-image.webp#narrow) *The `Image` tab of the `Export entire scene` window.* ## Export a video - **`Download screen recording`:** records what you do in the workspace. The menu shows the maximum length. - **`Download camera animation`:** renders a camera move (`Turn`, `Fly` or `Path`) set in the camera settings. Pro projects also have `Twist` and `Sine`. Both use the same settings: - **Resolution:** 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K. - **Frame rate:** 24, 30 or 60 fps. - **Format:** MP4, WebM, Animated PNG or PNG Sequence. PNG Sequence is Pro. MP4 always includes the background. ## What is Pro | Export | Free | Pro | | --- | --- | --- | | 3D formats | All 9 | All 9 | | `Clean topology` | No | Yes | | 4K image | 20 Womples each | Included | | SVG image | No | Yes | | 4K video | 100 Womples each | Included | | 60 fps video | 100 Womples each | Included | | PNG Sequence video | No | Yes | See [Womples](https://womp.com/docs/help/womples.md) and [Credits and plans](https://womp.com/docs/plans.md). ## Use instead - **Wrong move:** importing a model as a Field to print it. **Why:** converting to a Field loses a little detail. **Right move:** import it as a `Mesh`, then follow [Ordering a print](https://womp.com/docs/print/ordering.md). - **Wrong move:** exporting a JPG for a transparent background. **Why:** only PNG can drop the background. **Right move:** choose PNG and untick `Background`. - **Wrong move:** telling a free user that 4K and 60 fps need Pro. **Why:** on Free they cost Womples. **Right move:** point to [Womples](https://womp.com/docs/help/womples.md) or Pro. --- Last checked: 2026-11-10.
