Joint Photographic Experts Group Image
This file format is a widely used method for compressing digital images, particularly photographs and other images with continuous color variations. Unlike BMP, which stores every pixel without modification, JPEG uses a lossy compression technique that discards some data to achieve smaller file sizes.
Key Characteristics of JPEG or JPG
- Smaller File Sizes: JPG compression significantly reduces file size compared to BMP, making it efficient for storage, transmission, and web sharing.
- Adjustable Compression: You can control the level of compression, allowing a trade-off between file size and image quality based on your needs.
- Good Visual Quality: While discarding some data, JPEG often maintains visually acceptable image quality for most photos and web graphics.
- Lossy Compression: Discarded data cannot be recovered, leading to potential loss of image detail and quality, especially in areas with high-frequency information like sharp edges or textures.
JPEG/JPG to 3D Conversion
Autoconverter and Automesher Application enable you to work with JPEG images and multiple 3D formats. These powerful tools convert JPEG files into 3D formats including STL, DWG, SKP, 3MF, and more, while also supporting other popular image formats. Ready to transform your JPG images into 3D models?

STandardized Exchange of Product File
A widely adopted file format for the exchange of 3D data across diverse computer systems, including CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. Designed to ensure seamless interoperability, STEP files provide a reliable and standardized method for sharing complex 3D models.
Key Features of STEP/STP
- Universal Interoperability: As an ISO-standardized format, STEP files eliminate vendor lock-in, allowing smooth data exchange between major CAD software like SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, and more.
- Broad Compatibility: Supported by numerous applications and platforms, STEP files simplify cross-industry collaboration and ensure consistency across different workflows.
- High Accuracy: Unlike mesh formats such as SKP, OBJ, or STL, which may introduce distortions, STEP files maintain the precise shape, dimensions, and integrity of 3D models.
- Materials: STEP/STP files retain color information per assembly, making them useful for design visualization. However, they do not support transparency (alpha component), meaning transparent materials will appear opaque.
STEP/STP File Conversion
STEP files can become quite large, particularly when they contain intricate or high-resolution 3D models. To reduce file size, our Autoconverter software offers an efficient solution by utilizing the faceted BREP representation, which can reduce file size by up to one-third. Leveraging the powerful Open Cascade framework, Autoconverter ensures full compatibility with the latest STEP standards, making it the ideal tool for optimizing STEP files without compromising quality.
