UV Unwrap a 3D Model Online

Textures look stretched when a model has bad UVs. VIZON unwraps meshes with Smart UV or simple projections and lets you adjust the layout in a UV editor.

Materials and textures follow the UV layout of each object.

What you can do

Smart UV

Joins connected flat areas into islands and packs them at one shared scale, so texture density stays even.

Box projection

Fast, even mapping for boxes, walls and furniture.

Cylindrical and spherical

For bottles, pillars, balls and other round shapes.

Planar

Project straight down an axis for floors and flat panels.

UV editor

Move, rotate and scale UVs to fine-tune the layout.

Keeps material slots

Unwrapping preserves per-face materials and the model structure.

How to UV unwrap a model

  1. Open the model in the 3D Model Creator and select an object.
  2. Choose a projection from Material, UV mapping, or press U.
  3. Use Smart UV for mixed shapes.
  4. Open the UV editor to adjust the layout if needed.
  5. Apply a texture to check, then download as GLB.

Frequently asked questions

What does UV unwrapping do?

It flattens the surface of a 3D model into 2D coordinates, so a 2D texture image knows where to go on the model.

When should I use Smart UV?

For anything that is not a simple box or cylinder, such as furniture with many parts or imported models.
