3D TOOLS/TEXEL DENSITY CALCULATOR

Texel density calculator

What density does a texture give?

Texture

Covers a surface of

Share of the texture it uses (UV space, %; over 100 if it repeats)

What texture size do I need?

Target density (px/m)

For a surface of

Share of the texture it will use (UV space, %; over 100 if it repeats)

Check a model: drop a 3D model or its folder here, or OBJ · FBX · glTF / GLB · STL · PLY. Its density is worked out from its real surface and UV areas. Nothing is uploaded.

Blue: lower than the target · green: on target · red: higher. Drag to turn · right-drag or Shift-drag to pan · scroll or pinch to zoom · double-click to reset

Objects

Every material is assumed to use a texture of the size chosen above. UV space is how much of the 0–1 square the object's faces cover.

Maintain Visual Consistency Across Your 3D Assets

Texel density (pixels per unit) is the defining metric for texture resolution in 3D environments. If a tiny coffee cup has a higher texture resolution than the massive table it sits on, the visual mismatch immediately breaks immersion. Our Texel Density Calculator is an indispensable optimization tool for level designers, environment artists, and 3D modelers looking to maintain a uniform texture resolution across their entire project.

Optimize Game Performance and UV Layouts

By inputting your texture size (e.g., 2048x2048) and the real-world scale of your 3D mesh, this calculator helps you determine the exact UV scale required to hit your project’s target texel density. Consistent texel density not only ensures that your game looks professional and cohesive, but it also prevents you from wasting valuable memory on overly large textures for small objects. Optimize your UV layouts, adhere to strict studio pipelines, and balance visual fidelity with game engine performance.
