Questions

Are materials and textures kept?

Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when STL supports them. STL does not store textures, so only the geometry carries over.

Will my model be upside down?

No. USDZ and STL may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser.
