Convert Textile designs and 3D images (TDI) online for free
The converter easily converts your TDI 3D images to various formats - free and online. No Koppermann Tex-Design or or other Raster Image software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Fashion CAD File" formats to TDI without using software like Koppermann Tex-Design or a similar tool.
A .tdi file is a distinct format most frequently created by Koppermann Tex-Design, a specialized CAD solution for the fashion and textile industry. These files contain detailed fabric patterns, colorways, and weave structures. A secondary but significant use is the TDI Explore image format, a legacy 3D bitmap associated with Thomson Digital Image software (an ancestor of modern tools like Autodesk Maya).
The main limitation for users is proprietary lock-in. A .tdi file from Koppermann cannot be opened in standard viewers like Microsoft Photos or editors like Adobe Photoshop. Sharing a design with a client or manufacturer requires the receiving party to have the same expensive, niche software license. Similarly, legacy TDI Explore files are often unsupported by modern 3D pipelines, creating an archiving headache. Users may also encounter Toshiba disc images or think3 CAD drawings using this extension, adding to the confusion.
To overcome these hurdles, the best approach is conversion based on content. For textile designs and 3D renders, convert to JPG, PNG, or WebP for universal viewing and web use. For archiving technical specs, PDF is the standard. If you are dealing with a Toshiba disc image, converting to ISO allows you to mount the data on modern operating systems.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TDI converter.
