Microsoft Launches Copilot 3D – AI Turns Photos into 3D Models
Microsoft has introduced Copilot 3D, an experimental AI feature in Copilot Labs that transforms simple 2D images into fully rendered 3D models.
It’s perfect for creatives and developers though accuracy varies, especially with living subjects.
Key Features
Converts simple flat images into editable 3D models with no text prompts required.
Outputs models in the widely used GLB format, compatible with game engines, 3D apps, and AR/VR tools.
Ideal with clean backgrounds, clear lighting, and distinct subject separation (e.g.,furniture, bananas, umbrellas).
Guardrails prevent modeling of protected content, such as celebrities or copyrighted images, and users should only upload images they own.
Performance
Generation is fast, models typically appear in seconds after uploading.
Works best with inanimate objects; struggles with animals, humans, or complex electronics—often producing strange or inaccurate results.
Availability
Launched globally for free via Copilot Labs on the web, just sign in with a personal Microsoft account.
Accessible on desktop and mobile web browsers via Copilot.com > Labs > Copilot 3D.
Pricing
Free to use no Pro or paid subscription needed. Available at no extra cost to any Microsoft account holder.
While not tied to pricing, users of Copilot Pro may get earlier access to experiments within Copilot Labs but Copilot 3D is already broadly available.
