Here are 2 simple steps to convert your OBJ to PNG using our fast and free OBJ converter tool.

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.
OBJ Converter Capabilities
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.
Extension | PNG |
Full Name | Portable Network Graphics |
Type | Image |
Mime Type | image/png |
Format | Binary |
Opens With | Paint.Net, Photoshop |
The PNG graphics file format is a commonly used format for storing 2D images which can be highly compressed by the use a palette if the image has a sufficiently low number of colors (256 colors in general). The PNG file is then further compressed using the DEFLATE compression algorithm to ensure small file sizes that are fast to download.
PNG files are seen as the logical successor to the GIF image file format and was devised in the mid-1990's as a superior format to GIF. PNG files are generally used for company logos, icons and other non-photographic image content. Saving a digital photo in the PNG format will create a much larger file than an equivalent JPG image hence the PNG format being unsuitable for most digital photo content.
Our tool will internally render your OBJ file and capture an image of the 3D render which will be saved to a PNG file using a high quality setting ready for you to download.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your OBJ file to upload. Your OBJ file will be uploaded to our servers. When the OBJ to PNG conversion has completed, you can download your PNG file straight away.
We aim to process all OBJ to PNG 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.
