Free Online MAX to Blender Converter

You can use our MAX to Blender conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 100 files at one time, and our batch MAX to Blender converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 100 files can be uploaded at once.

Convert all files to:

Please note: Your MAX file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted immediately after it is converted. Your converted file will be deleted 4 hours after upload, so please download it before this time.

Our 3D model MAX to Blender tool will load your MAX file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

How long does it take to convert my MAX to Blender?

We aim to process all MAX to Blender conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the MAX to Blender conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting MAX to Blender work?

In order to successfully convert an MAX formatted file to the Blender format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an MAX file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create MAX files to the exact specification.

Take your MAX file

An MAX file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the MAX file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated Blender file size is smaller.

Convert the data from MAX to Blender

Now that the data from the MAX file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final Blender file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the Blender format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the Blender format

At this point, the MAX to Blender conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the Blender Blender format. Our tool creates the Blender file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the Blender file specification to ensure the file can be opened in Blender and other editors that are capable of editing Blender files.

File format information for MAX and Blender

Extension	MAX
Full Name	Autodesk 3ds Max
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

A MAX file is the native (and proprietary) format of the 3D model editing software 3ds Max by Autodesk. 3ds Max is popular in a wide range of sectors, including video games, movies, professional animation, and amongst other 3D modeling enthusiasts.

The MAX file is the successor to the older 3DS format and was created to address the limitations of that format. A MAX file can contain 3D modeling data along with textures, animations, and scene lighting information, all within a single compact file format.

As already mentioned, the format is proprietary, and MAX files are designed to be opened and edited within the 3ds Max software only; however, it does provide options to export to formats such as FBX, which can then be converted to other formats using our FBX conversion tools.

MAX Converter Capabilities

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

Extension	BLEND
Full Name	Blender
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary
Opens With	Blender

The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modeling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modeling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.

The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.

Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.

Blender Converter Capabilities

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

Information for converting from MAX to BLEND

Your MAX file will be converted to a Blender file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our MAX 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information if it is present in your MAX file; your final 3D model will contain only geometry data.
