Here are 2 simple steps to convert your MAX to OBJ using our fast and free MAX converter tool.
| Extension | MAX |
| Full Name | Autodesk 3ds Max |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
The MAX file format is a 3D format used by the popular 3D modelling application Autodesk 3ds Max. The MAX format was introduced by Autodesk in 1996 and is still maintained with new versions released in recent years.
Autodesk 3ds Max is popular among game developers, TV studios and special effects studios.
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 | OBJ |
| Full Name | Wavefront |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | text/plain |
| Format | Text |
| Opens With | MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio |
The OBJ file format originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D model/geometry. This data can include Vertices, Faces, Normals, Texture Coordinates and references to external Texture files.
As the format is text-based it is relatively straight-forward to parse by 3D modelling applications. A downside of the text-based format is the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.
Your MAX file will be converted to a OBJ 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 present in your MAX file, your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your MAX file to upload. Your MAX file will be uploaded to our servers. When the MAX to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file straight away.
We aim to process all MAX to OBJ conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development with new features being added every week.
