Use tool ↗About Spline
Spline is a 3D and 2D design editor that runs in the browser and as macOS and Windows apps, built for interactive scenes that export straight to the web, iOS and Android, video, USDZ and STL rather than to a render farm. Its AI layer generates 3D objects, textures and 2D images from prompts, runs an agent that edits scenes on instruction, removes backgrounds and upscales, all metered in monthly credits that come with the paid seats. Collaboration, a shared library and version history serve design teams, and MCP tool calls let agent tooling drive the editor. Free seats can design but export the web embed with a watermark.

Pros & cons of Spline
Spline is the quickest route from a design brief to an interactive 3D scene on a web page, and the AI tools shorten the asset work that used to require a modeller. It is a design tool, not a renderer or a game engine: pick it for landing pages, product hero scenes and prototypes, and expect the credit meter to shape how freely you use the generative features.
Pros
- Browser and desktop editors with live collaboration and exports to web, iOS, Android, video, USDZ and STL
- AI agent, 3D generation, texture and image generation are included from the $12 Hobby seat
- A usable free seat for learning and personal files, with the only hard limit being a watermark on web exports
- Delaware corporation with terms updated in September 2026, a sign the product is being maintained
Cons
- Generative features burn monthly credits that do not roll over, with extra credits at $5 per 1,000
- App-store and video exports start at the $25 to $30 Pro seat, not Hobby
- Per-seat pricing adds up for a team, and version history and SSO are Enterprise-only
- No public API; automation runs through MCP tool calls with limits that scale by plan
Best for
- Product and brand designers adding interactive 3D to websites and app onboarding
- Teams prototyping spatial and visionOS interfaces without a full 3D pipeline
- Designers who want AI-generated textures and objects inside the same editor they lay out in
Not for
- Film, VFX or photoreal product rendering — Blender and a renderer remain the tools for that
- Developers who need a code-level API; the integration surface is embeds and exports, plus MCP tool calls on paid seats
Watch out: The $12 Hobby price is the yearly rate; monthly billing is $15, and the AI credit cap of 10,000 a month on Hobby and Pro means heavy generation pushes you to Max.
