An OBJ file is a widely used file format in 3D computer graphics that serves as a standard representation for 3D models. It stands for "Object" and was originally developed by Wavefront Technologies. OBJ files store geometric data, such as vertex positions, normals, texture coordinates, and face information, describing the surface of a 3D object. This data is presented in plain text, making OBJ files human-readable and easy to exchange between various 3D modeling and rendering software.
The structure of an OBJ file is based on vertices (points in 3D space), which form the building blocks of the 3D model's shape. These vertices are organized into faces, typically triangles or quads, representing the surfaces of the object. Alongside the geometric data, OBJ files can also include material information, enabling the application of textures and shaders to the 3D model, providing it with color, reflectivity, and other visual properties.
Due to its simplicity and compatibility across different software platforms, the OBJ file format has become a popular choice for sharing 3D models. However, being a relatively basic format, OBJ files may not support complex features found in more advanced formats like animation data or high-level shader definitions. Despite this limitation, OBJ remains a widely adopted format in various industries, including gaming, animation, virtual reality, and 3D printing.
OBJ Converter Capabilities
Our OBJ converter can both convert from and to OBJ files and our developers are working to improve our OBJ conversion tools in future versions.Our OBJ 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within OBJ files so the converted file will not contain any color information.
Our OBJ conversion tool can convert most 3D geometry including mesh vertices and faces with no loss of detail. Any color materials contained within the 3D model file will be converted where possible.
No, due to the different methods of assigning textures to a 3D model textures are not currently supported. If your OBJ model contains textures or references to external texture files, these will be ignored.
Yes! Our OBJ conversion tools are 100% free to use.
No, you can convert as many files as you wish. We do not impose any conversion limits on our OBJ conversion tools.
We aim to process all OBJ conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files and significantly longer for some larger file formats, so please be patient.
Once your OBJ file has been uploaded and we know the file format you wish to convert it to our bespoke conversion software will convert your OBJ and make it available for you to download with a unique download Url.
Yes, of course it is! Your OBJ, once converted is deleted 1 hour after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our OBJ conversion tools will run on any system with a modern web browser.
If you are having difficulty converting your OBJ you can contact us and we will try to help where possible.
