What is the Add Text, Logo or Base Plate to an STL?
Personalising a downloaded STL — a name on a bracket, a logo on a case, a serial number under a part — normally needs a CAD program. Here you drop in the model, type your text (one or two lines, three fonts) or load an SVG logo, choose which face it belongs on (top, bottom, front, back, left or right), and set height or depth, rotation and position. An orange preview shows exactly where it will land before you add it.
Raised text is sunk 0.3 mm into the surface so it fuses with the model in any slicer; engraved text is cut with a true boolean subtraction in a background thread. A third tab adds a flat base plate (rectangle, rounded rectangle or circle) under the model with a margin you choose — useful for improving bed adhesion or making a stand. You can add several things in sequence, undo them all, and export STL, 3MF, OBJ or PLY.

Questions people ask
Which fonts are available?
Helvetica Bold/Regular and Optima Bold (basic Latin characters).
Does engraving work on curved faces?
It cuts a flat-bottomed pocket from the face plane; it does not wrap.
What is the size limit for engraving?
About 40,000 triangles; simplify dense models first.
Is it private?
Yes, everything runs in your browser.
