Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to preview a conversion?
No. The interactive low-resolution preview is available before checkout. Payment is only required to download the full-quality output.
Do I need an account or subscription?
No. StlFixTool charges per file for a full-quality download and does not require an account or subscription.
How long are uploaded files kept?
Unpaid jobs with no checkout and their files are deleted within 60 minutes. Jobs with checkout started are kept for at least six hours, and Paddle-confirmed completed payments are not removed by unpaid cleanup. Paid jobs are retained for up to 7 days for re-download, unless you delete them sooner.
Does STL to STEP recreate editable CAD features?
No. It creates a faceted representation of the input triangles. It does not infer the original sketches, dimensions, or parametric feature history.
What is the maximum upload size?
Upload limits vary by tool and are shown beside each file picker. Browser-only STL Viewer and STL Editor accept files up to 100 MiB (104,857,600 bytes).
Which tools keep my file on my device?
STL Viewer (STL and OBJ files), 3MF Viewer and STL Editor run in your browser without uploading your file. STEP Viewer, conversions and STL repair require server processing.
