Expensive, slow, and technically demanding because of the time it takes to model an object from the scratch.

In this guide, we will take a look at a solution to this problem. With SwiftXR’s AI image to 3D converter you can easily generate 3D models of your products or designs in just a few steps and processes. Let’s take a quick look at how to do that ## Step 1: Get a Picture of your Product or Object Get a good quality picture of your product or object. Ensure there's enough lightening so your object's featured will be properly captured. You can skip this part if you have an image already. For the sake of this guide, we will grab a picture online

## Step 2: Sign in to your Account and Create a Project on SwiftXR Sign in to your account on[ SwiftXR ](https://home.swiftxr.io/). Create a new project > Select **component** > drag and drop the **3D component** or the **AR component** if you want to view your product in Augmented reality.

## Step 3: Upload your Image and Generate your 3D model. Head over to properties. Select AI > Upload your image.> Name your image then select generate 3D to begin the process

## Step 4: Download your 3D Model Once your image has been successfully converted, click on it to download it to your canvas.

## Step 5: Publish your Project Click on **publish** to make your project live, then Copy your generated URL

## Step 6: View in AR Paste your project URL on the web, then click "**view in space**" to enter AR.
