Our STL to VID converter will take the 3D model contained within your STL file and create a simple animated video file that will be saved to the VID format. You may upload up to 20 files at one time and have them batch converted to the VID format.
Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.
To get started, click the "Select File" button; this will open up a file browser with which you can select your STL files from your local device. Once selected, you can click the "Convert" button to have our tool convert them to the VID format.

The STL file format is used for storing 3D models and is a common format for distributing 3D printable models. STL files emerged in the 1980s as a format for storing a 3D mesh as a simple list of triangles. Due to its age and simplistic format, it has gained widespread support within 3D modeling and CAD applications.
As a result of the simple file format and its widespread support amongst 3D editors, the STL format has found itself as the format of choice for the distribution of 3D printable objects. There are many websites that offer 3D printing downloads in the STL format.
As mentioned, STL files make use of a simple structure for containing the 3D mesh data. The 3D model is stored as a continuous list of triangles, with each triangle containing three vertices specifying the location in 3D space of the triangle, which, along with a single vector normal, is all that is required to render the model contained within the STL file. There are two formats of STL files: plain text and binary. When used with large and complex 3D models, the text format leads to very large file sizes and should be avoided, with the binary format offering more efficient storage of the mesh data.
STL Converter Capabilities
As materials containing color information is supported by the STL format, our tool will do its best to include this in the converted file.

A VID file is a video file format native to the ZX Spectrum Next. It stores uncompressed video as a sequence of images along with 8-bit audio. The only currently supported resolution of the video is 320x240 in 256 colors at around 16.6 FPS. For additional technical information, please see the Spectrum Next developer portal.
The VID format supports additional resolutions and framerates, which may or may not include a separate palette per frame. The conversion currently supported is for 320x256 resolution only, with a palette per frame.
Here are two steps to convert your STL to VID using our free STL converter tool.
First, click the "Select File" button and choose your STL file. We will upload and convert your STL file. Once the conversion from STL to VID completes, use the provided link to download your VID file.
We aim to process all STL to VID file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.
Yes. 3D printing slicer software generally supports the STL format without the need for conversion.
