3D terrain models

Any place on Earth, as a 3D model.

Frame a mountain, a canyon or the hills you grew up in and watch it rise from real elevation data. Then print it, frame it or share it.

No account needed to explore. Free plan includes an STL to print every month.

How it works

From a map to a model in three steps

  1. Frame a place

    Search for a mountain, a canyon or your home town, or pick one of our favourites. The frame is the area that becomes your model.

  2. Watch it rise

    Real elevation data becomes a 3D block in seconds. Choose satellite, topo or clay, the height, the sun and the shape.

  3. Make it real

    Download a watertight file for your 3D printer, a poster to frame, a 360° video, or share a link that opens your exact model.

What you can make

Hold a mountain in your hands

Every model is built from the same terrain, so the print, the poster and the video all match.

3D print files

Watertight STL and 3MF, sized in millimetres, split into tiles for small printers, with text on the base.

Posters

Print-ready images up to A2 at 300 dpi, with the place name, coordinates and a clean studio backdrop.

360° videos

A smooth turntable around your model in up to 1080p, ready for Instagram, YouTube or a presentation.

3D models

Textured GLB files for Blender, game engines, web viewers and AR, at real-world scale.

Questions

Do I need an account to use Tiny Topo?

No. You can frame any place, build models and save images without signing in. Sign in with Google (free) to download a 3D print file or make videos, so your monthly allowance is kept for you.

When do my downloads reset?

Paid plans reset at the start of each billing period. The Free plan resets on the 1st of every month (UTC).

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes, from your account page. You keep everything your plan includes until the end of the period you paid for, and you aren’t charged again.

Can I sell prints of my models?

With Maker, yes: it includes a commercial licence to sell physical prints made from your model files. Free and Pro are for personal use. Imagery shown in posters and videos stays subject to its providers’ terms.
