3dsvg
extrudes SVG paths, text, and shapes into fully interactive 3D React components powered by Three.js and React Three Fiber. It ships as an embeddable
or
yarn add 3dsvg
or
pnpm add 3dsvg Peer dependencies (install if not already present): npm install three @react-three/fiber @react-three/drei Quick Start import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; // Spin text in 3D < SVG3D text = " Hello " animate = " spin " /> // 3D logo from SVG file < SVG3D svg = " /logo.svg " material = " gold " /> // Pixel editor input < SVG3D svg = " " material = " chrome " animate = " float " /> SVG3DProps — Full API import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; < SVG3D // Input (choose one) text = " Hello World " // Text string (uses Google Fonts) svg = " /path/to/file.svg " // URL to SVG file // svg="" // Raw SVG markup string // Font (when using text=) font = " Inter " // Google Font name (10 presets available) // Material preset material = " default " // "default" | "plastic" | "metal" | "glass" // "rubber" | "chrome" | "gold" | "clay" // "emissive" | "holographic" // Animation animate = " spin " // "spin" | "float" | "pulse" | "wobble" // "swing" | "spin+float" | undefined (static) // Geometry depth = { 0.2 } // Extrusion depth (default: 0.2) bevelEnabled = { true } // Enable bevel on edges bevelThickness = { 0.02 } // Bevel thickness bevelSize = { 0.02 } // Bevel size bevelSegments = { 3 } // Bevel smoothness // Lighting ambientIntensity = { 0.5 } // Ambient light (0–1) keyLightIntensity = { 1.0 } // Key light brightness keyLightX = { 5 } // Key light X position keyLightY = { 5 } // Key light Y position keyLightZ = { 5 } // Key light Z position shadows = { true } // Enable shadow casting // Camera zoom = { 1 } // Initial zoom level autoRotate = { false } // Auto-rotate camera (overrides animate) // Texture texture = " none " // "none" or procedural preset name, or URL /> Common Patterns Basic Logo Viewer import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; export function LogoViewer ( ) { return ( < div style = { { width : 400 , height : 400 } }
< SVG3D svg = " /logo.svg " material = " metal " animate = " float " depth = { 0.3 } bevelEnabled = { true } bevelThickness = { 0.03 } /> </ div
) ; } Interactive 3D Text Badge import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; export function HeroBadge ( ) { return ( < SVG3D text = " LAUNCH " font = " Inter " material = " chrome " animate = " spin " depth = { 0.4 } keyLightIntensity = { 1.5 } ambientIntensity = { 0.3 } /> ) ; } Static Product Icon (No Animation) import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; export function ProductIcon ( { svgUrl } : { svgUrl : string } ) { return ( < SVG3D svg = { svgUrl } material = " gold " depth = { 0.15 } bevelEnabled = { true } shadows = { true } ambientIntensity = { 0.6 } keyLightX = { 3 } keyLightY = { 8 } keyLightZ = { 3 } /> ) ; } Holographic Animated Logo import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; export function HolographicLogo ( ) { return ( < SVG3D svg = " /brand.svg " material = " holographic " animate = " spin+float " depth = { 0.1 } ambientIntensity = { 0.8 } /> ) ; } Inline SVG String import { SVG3D } from "3dsvg" ; const starSvg =

) ; } Visual Editor Workflow Go to 3dsvg.design Choose an input method: Text , Pixel Editor , SVG Code , or File Upload Pick a material, animation, and lighting configuration Use the Embed export to copy a ready-to-paste
JSX snippet Export as PNG (up to 4K), Video (MP4/WebM), or 3D Model (GLB/STL/OBJ/PLY) Drag and drop an SVG file anywhere on the editor to load it instantly. Troubleshooting Component renders blank / white screen Ensure three , @react-three/fiber , and @react-three/drei are installed In Next.js, confirm you're using dynamic with ssr: false Wrap in a container with explicit width and height SVG not extruding correctly Use simple, closed SVG paths; complex compound paths may not extrude Inline fill attributes on paths are respected — avoid CSS-only fills Try increasing bevelSegments for smoother curves Text not loading The font prop loads from Google Fonts — ensure network access or host fonts locally Supported fonts are the 10 presets defined in use-font.ts Performance issues Reduce bevelSegments (try 1 or 2 ) Disable shadows for lower-end devices Use animate={undefined} for static display FFmpeg/video export fails in dev Video export uses FFmpeg WASM and requires SharedArrayBuffer Add these headers to your dev server: Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp License MIT — Renato Costa / Blueberry
