It comes out as MP4 (H.264), which plays on any phone and social network. Firefox cannot record MP4, so there it comes out as WebM. Recording takes as long as the clip: keep the tab visible.

This browser cannot record video from the canvas. Try Chrome, Edge or Safari.

What this tool does

Records your model spinning 360° as an MP4 video ready for socials, your store or portfolio (WebM in Firefox).

Exact output resolution (up to 1080p) — rendering runs at the video's resolution, not your screen's.

Configurable duration and spin direction, with light or dark background.

Automatic vertical-axis detection based on the file type.

Frequently asked questions

Does it come out as MP4?

Yes, in the browsers that can record it: recent Chrome, Edge and Safari record MP4 with H.264, which plays on any phone and uploads straight to Instagram, WhatsApp or an online store. Firefox cannot record MP4, so there the video comes out as WebM with VP9, which Twitter, Discord and most platforms accept anyway. Either way the video is recorded with MediaRecorder from the canvas where the piece is drawn: there is no render server, no queue and no uploaded file, so your model never leaves your machine. The download button tells you which format came out, so you know before uploading whether your destination accepts it.

What resolution and duration work for social feeds?

For a social feed, 1080×1080 square with 6 to 8 seconds per revolution is the sweet spot: it fills the preview on almost every network, and a full turn plays before the viewer loses interest. For a product page or a portfolio, 1920×1080 with 10 to 12 seconds looks considerably more premium, because the slower rotation lets surface detail read. The ilove3d turntable generator renders into its own canvas at the video's exact resolution, so you can record 1080p even on a smaller screen. A full revolution always closes the loop: the last frame meets the first, so the clip can repeat seamlessly without a visible jump at the seam. It also pays to leave the background black: it compresses better than a gradient and makes the piece cut itself out against the feed, so the edge does not compete with whatever sits next to it in the timeline.

Why does my model spin 'sideways'?

Because the formats disagree about which axis points up. STL and PLY files coming out of a slicer or a scanner use Z as vertical, the 3D printing convention; GLB and GLTF use Y, the convention of graphics engines. The ilove3d turntable generator detects the file type and picks the matching spin axis, so it gets it right on its own in most cases. If your file carries an unusual convention — an STL exported from an animation package, say — the detection misses and the model spins lying down. The fix is to rotate it beforehand with the transform tool, which bakes the rotation into the geometry and leaves the file correctly oriented for every other program too. The chosen axis is visible in the preview before you record, so a mistake takes two seconds to spot rather than surfacing after you have waited through a full render.

Does video quality depend on my screen?

No, and that is an important difference from screen recording. The ilove3d turntable generator spins up its own renderer at exactly the requested video size and captures from there, not from what your monitor shows. You can produce a 1920×1080 clip on a laptop with a 1366-pixel-wide screen and it comes out at full resolution, with no scaling and no loss. It also does not matter if the window is covered by another one or if you switch tabs while it records. The one thing that does depend on your machine is speed: integrated graphics take longer per frame than a dedicated card, but that affects generation time rather than the quality of the file, which comes out identical on both. It does not depend on your connection either: once the page has loaded, both the rendering and the recording happen entirely on your own machine, offline if need be.
