Free Online KMZ to OBJ Converter

A KMZ, which is short for Keyhole Markup Zip, is a compressed ZIP file used to contain geographic files and data, including, but not limited to, 3D models, images, and terrain.

The 3D models that are included will use the popular DAE format, which is capable of storing animations, textures, and 3D geometry. Of course, the KMZ file uses the ZIP file format to compress all this data to reduce the final size.

KMZ files can be viewed using specialist software, or you can use our range of KMZ file converters to process KMZ files into other, more common formats.

Our KMZ 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within KMZ files, so the converted file will not contain any color information.

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.

Our 3D conversion tool does not support color or material information in OBJ files, so your file will not contain any color information.
