Free Online SVG to OBJ Converter

Our free-to-use SVG to OBJ file converter can be used to convert your SVG vector file into either a 3D heightmap model or an extruded 3D model. As our tool supports batch file conversion, you may upload up to 20 SVG files, and once your files have been converted, you may download them using the unique download links.

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

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

When you upload a vector SVG file, our tool can be configured to create either an extruded model or a heightmap model. There are other options available to enable you to tweak how the final OBJ 3D model is created as well. To access these options, please click the button once you have selected your files.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my SVG file to OBJ?

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

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

We aim to process all SVG 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 SVG 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 is the 3D model generated from my SVG image?

Our tool uses a Heightmap process whereby the OBJ 3D model is created based on the luminosity of the individual pixels in your SVG image.

Is there a limit to the size of my image?

Yes, to ensure our tool converts the SVG image quickly and with a reasonable final file size, your tool will resize any image larger than 600x600 pixels.

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is a graphics file format commonly used by websites and the print industry as a means of representing 2D graphics, most notably icons and logos, in a scalable vector format independent of the user's screen resolution.

Unlike other popular bitmap formats, such as PNG or JPG, whose image quality decreases when the image is rendered at a larger size than its native dimensions, SVGs store the image data as a series of points, lines, and curves. This allows the image to scale to any resolution without loss of detail or pixelation.

SVG files are XML formatted, allowing them to be human-readable and extensible, as well as compact, making them ideal for usage on a website. As SVGs are a standard format used by websites, there is widespread support for opening and editing SVG files within most popular graphics editing software.

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 SVG to OBJ

Our SVG converter will convert your SVG file to a 3D model using the Heightmap process, whereby 2D pixels, based on their luminosity, are converted into 3D space to create a full 3D OBJ model ready for download for further processing in your favourite 3D editing package or for printing on a 3D printer.
