What UV tools are available on Geometry Labs?

Geometry Labs offers a UV layout viewer, UV template exporter, UV density checker, and UV overlap checker.

Can I export UV templates without installing software?

Yes. The UV tools run directly in your browser, so you can preview layouts and export UV templates with no installation required.

CAPABILITIES

Supported UV Tools

Everything the UV suite covers for viewing layouts, exporting templates, and validating texel density.

UV Layout Viewer

Visualize your UV unwrapping in a 2D grid. Identify overlapping islands, wasted space, and flipped UVs. Preview how your texture maps onto the model in real time and inspect individual islands for orientation issues.

UV Template Export

Export your UV layout as a high-resolution PNG template with wireframe lines marking each island. Import into Photoshop, GIMP, or Substance Painter as a painting guide so your texture aligns perfectly with the UV islands.

UV Density Checker

Analyze texel density across your model. Find stretched or compressed UV areas that cause blurry or distorted textures. Compare density between separate islands to achieve uniform resolution across the asset.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all UV tools are completely free to use with no daily limits, no account, and no subscription. They run entirely in your browser for instant results.

A UV layout is the 2D representation of your 3D model's surface, used to map textures onto the mesh. A clean, well-packed UV layout ensures textures appear correctly without stretching, distortion, or wasted texture space.

It flattens your model's UV islands into a 2D PNG template with wireframe lines marking each island. Import that template into Photoshop, GIMP, or Substance Painter as a guide, paint your texture, then apply it back to the model.

UV density (texel density) is how much texture resolution each part of your model receives. Uneven density causes some areas to look sharp while others look blurry. The density checker highlights stretched and compressed regions so you can fix them for consistent resolution.

Import: OBJ, FBX, GLTF, GLB, STL, PLY, DAE. Export: PNG templates at configurable resolutions. UV data is read directly from the model's texture coordinates, so any imported mesh with UVs works.

Yes. All UV layouts and exported templates are yours to use in any project, commercial or personal, with no attribution required. See our Terms of Service for full details.
