You can use our X-Plane OBJ to OBJ conversion tool to quickly convert your 3D model (with optional texture files) for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch X-Plane OBJ 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.
Our 3D model X-Plane OBJ to OBJ tool will load your X-Plane OBJ 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.
Here are two simple steps to convert your X-Plane to OBJ using our fast and free X-Plane converter tool.
First, click the "Upload..." button and select your X-Plane file to upload. Your X-Plane file will be uploaded to our servers. When the X-Plane to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file right away.
We aim to process all X-Plane 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.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

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 modelling 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 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any colour material data contained within OBJ files, so the converted file will not contain any colour information.

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.
OBJ Converter Capabilities
Our 3D conversion tool does not support colour or material information in OBJ files, so your file will not contain any colour information.
Your X-Plane file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our X-Plane 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any colour information if it is present in your OBJ file; your final 3D model will contain only geometry data.
