Free Online FBX to OBJ Converter

You can use our FBX to OBJ conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch FBX to OBJ converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

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

Please note: Your FBX file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted FBX file before this time.

Our 3D model FBX to OBJ tool will load your FBX 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my FBX file to OBJ?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your FBX file to upload. Your FBX file will be uploaded to our servers. When the FBX to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file right away.

How long does it take to convert my FBX to OBJ?

We aim to process all FBX 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.

How accurate is the FBX to OBJ 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 FBX to OBJ work?

In order to successfully convert an FBX formatted file to the OBJ format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an FBX 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 FBX files to the exact specification.

Take your FBX file

The FBX file format can be either a text-based or binary format, meaning if its content is plain text, it is human-readable; otherwise, if it is binary, then it can only be edited with specialist FBX editing software. The data within the file, regardless of whether it is text or binary, contains the core elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the FBX file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also that the generated OBJ is smaller.

Along with the core data that makes up the 3D model, our tool will check the FBX file for the presence of texture coordinates to ensure any texture-based materials are converted correctly. Even if the texture files are not presented with the FBX file, our converter will preserve any texture coordinates when converting to the OBJ format.

Convert the data from FBX to OBJ

Now that the data from the FBX 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 OBJ file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the OBJ format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the OBJ format

At this point, the FBX to OBJ conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the OBJ format. Our tool creates the OBJ file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the OBJ file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible OBJ file editors.

If the FBX file contains texture images, these will be exported to a format that is compatible with the OBJ format. For most textures that are stored as JPG or PNG images, these are transferred with no changes. However, if there are other formats, such as TGA, these will be converted to a suitable format.

If an FBX texture does need to be converted to a different image file format, our tool will ensure the quality and resolution are not degraded during the conversion process.

FBX files are an open 3D file format developed by Autodesk for use with their Maya and 3Ds Max applications. An FBX file may contain any number of 3D objects, their associated geometry, materials, textures, animations, and more, all within a single convenient package.

The content of an FBX file is a mix of binary and ASCII text, producing a format that is both human-readable and compact. Due to their compact size, ease of use, and widespread support, FBX files are a popular choice for creating 3D animations and are also a staple in the videogame development scene.

The development of the FBX format continues to this day, with new features being included in each release. Along with being used within Autodesk's own editing solutions, FBX files can also be opened and edited in other popular 3D modelling applications, such as Blender.

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.

As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular colour, transparency, and much more.

The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.

Information for converting from FBX to OBJ

Your FBX file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our FBX 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both FBX and OBJ support colour material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the colour information.
