Free Online X-Plane Converter

This is our fast and free file converter, specializing in converting your X-Plane OBJ 3D model files. You can convert your X-Plane OBJ files to a number of different formats, whether that be another 3D model format or an image. Our X-Plane OBJ converter can handle the most popular formats. Our X-Plane OBJ converter can also batch process up to 20 files at a time.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your X-Plane file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted X-Plane file before this time.
Our X-Plane converter tool supports converting to the following file types: 3MF, ABC, AMF, ASE, BLEND, DAE, FBX, GLB, GLTF, IDTF, KMZ, OBJ, OFF, PCD, PLY, SKP, STL, USD, VTK, VTP, WRL, X, X3D, XYZ

To start, please click the button above and select the 3D model X-Plane OBJ files you wish to convert. Once you have selected these, you can specify what you would like each file to be converted to. This could be another 3D model format, or another format from our extensive list. Once the target formats have been set, you can apply any configurations (such as applying the built-in voxelizer) by clicking the button.

X-Plane file format information

Extension	OBJ
Full Name	OBJ8 X-Plane
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text

Not to be confused with the Wavefront OBJ format, the OBJ8 format is a separate format used in conjunction with the X-Plane 3D simulator software as a means of transferring data between X-Plane and other 3D modeling applications and tools.

The OBJ8 format, as it is known, uses the OBJ file extension and stores 3D model data represented by a list of vertices, triangles, and lines. Other data is included in the format, such as lighting, texture information, and other related data.

OBJ8 files are text-based, with each vertex stored on a single line within the file. The vertex includes its X, Y, and Z position, normal, and texture coordinates. Following the vertices is a list of face indices, which, in the case of a 3D model, represent the triangles that make up the model.

X-Plane Converter Capabilities

Our X-Plane converter can both convert from and to OBJ files, and our developers are working to improve our OBJ conversion tools in future versions. Our X-Plane 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.
