# KeyShot > KeyShot is the industry-standard 3D rendering and visualization software used by product designers, engineers, and marketing teams worldwide. Developed by KeyShot Inc., it is used throughout the entire product development process — from early concept exploration to final production visuals — producing photorealistic renders and animations directly from CAD files with no rendering expertise required. KeyShot Studio, the core application, includes built-in local AI tools (Restyle, Background, and Imagine modes) that run entirely on-device, with no cloud dependency or usage fees. Over 20 years of development and adoption by global brands make it the most trusted name in product visualization. --- ## Products - [KeyShot Studio](https://www.keyshot.com/keyshot-studio/): The core 3D rendering and AI visualization application. Includes real-time ray tracing, local AI tools, drag-and-drop material assignment, 34+ CAD format support, advanced lighting, one-click animation, and professional pipeline features (Cryptomatte, OpenPBR). Available for Windows and macOS. All features included in every plan. - [KeyShot Studio AI](https://www.keyshot.com/keyshot-studio/keyshot-studio-ai/): Three on-device AI modes built into KeyShot Studio.
