Privacy and processing
Where files are processed
Convert3D has different processing paths depending on the feature.
Browser-based tools
Viewing, standard conversion flows, and compression are designed to do as much work as possible in the browser. This keeps common workflows fast and reduces unnecessary upload handling.
API conversions
API conversions are server-side. Your file is sent to the Convert3D API so it can be converted and returned or stored for download.
AI features
AI rendering and AI 3D generation use external model providers. These workflows may upload source images, model previews, prompts, or generated outputs to complete the request.
Use AI features only for files and prompts that are acceptable for that processing path.
Sharing and downloads
When a workflow creates a download URL, treat it like a private link. Anyone with the link may be able to access the file until the link expires or storage policy removes it.
