Free Online TIFF to OBJ Converter

A TIFF file is a raster image file format created by Aldus in the 1980s as a means to store high-quality images in a flexible format. This flexibility is emphasized by its ability to store images at varying colour depths, from monochrome all the way up to full 24-bit colour.

As well as being able to store image data at varying colour depths, TIFF files can also store images in other formats, such as CMYK. Along with image data, it is also possible to store metadata, allowing information such as colour space, dimensions, and other useful information to be stored.

As the image data is stored in an uncompressed format, TIFF files can become quite large, especially when dealing with full colour RGB images at higher resolutions. Although TIFF files have become less common in recent years, many image editing programs still support them.

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.
