Let people see your product from every side, and then in their own room.
Softicon Model Viewer adds one block,
3D Model Viewer, to the WordPress editor. Drop in a GLB or glTF file and your visitors can:
- Rotate the model and zoom into every detail.
- Watch it turn slowly on its own.
- Tap View in your room on a phone or tablet and place the model in their own space with augmented reality (Android Scene Viewer, iPhone and iPad Quick Look, and WebXR).
It is perfect for furniture, lighting, decor, fashion, art, products and anything people want to look at from every side.

Everything in one block
- Your model: upload a GLB or glTF file, pick one from the media library, or add one from a URL.
- Accessibility: alternative text, plus an optional poster image that shows while the model loads.
- Interaction: rotate and zoom, automatic rotation, and a small hint that invites visitors to drag.
- Augmented reality: turn the "View in your room" button on or off, and write your own button text.
- Appearance: height, brightness, shadow strength, and two lighting styles (soft studio or classic).
- Camera: choose the starting angle, or let the viewer pick one for you.
- Design: caption, wide and full width, background colour or gradient, spacing and rounded borders.
Why you'll like it
- One light block, nothing else. No settings page, no admin notices, no account and no external service.
- Everything is free. Augmented reality, posters, lighting and every other setting are included. There is no Pro version.
- Fast pages. The 3D viewer only loads on pages that use the block, and the model is lazy-loaded.
- Works with any theme, and with the block editor you already know.
- Readable code. The block's own code has no build step, so it is easy to review and extend.
