Free Online OBJ to GIF Converter

Here is our free-to-use OBJ to GIF conversion tool that will take your 3D OBJ model file and convert it into a high-quality GIF image file. If you wish to batch convert multiple OBJ files, our converter supports up to 20 files at a time, with a dedicated download link being provided for each image file once completed.

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your OBJ file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted OBJ file before this time.

With our 3D model OBJ to GIF converter, your OBJ file is uploaded, and a snapshot of the rendered model is created and saved into a GIF image file format. If your OBJ model has any textures, you can include them with your OBJ file at the time of upload. Our tool will automatically determine if any additional files are required to render your OBJ 3D model.

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.

As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular color, transparency, and much more.

The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.

GIF files have been around since the dawn of the internet and are a popular choice of format for storing images and animations. Images stored within a GIF file can be stored at low bits per pixel to reduce the size of the GIF file, leading to improved download speeds. Reducing the number of bits per pixel, if done correctly, can lead to no noticeable difference in image quality.

Along with static images, GIF files are also capable of storing short video or animation sequences. This capability has proved very popular, with animated GIFs being created and used on websites and social media. GIF files are also a popular format for storing and transmitting internet memes.

With newer and more capable formats such as PNG and WEBP taking over as the default standard for images and animations on the web, the GIF format is slowly declining in popularity. Support for GIF files within image editing software is still strong and will likely continue.

Information for converting from OBJ to GIF

Our tool will internally render your OBJ file and capture an image of the 3D render, which will be saved to a GIF file using a high-quality setting, ready for you to download.
