How it works

Three steps. No upload, no signup.

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Click the dropzone above or drag a OBJ from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.

  2. 2

    Convert in your browser

    The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.

  3. 3

    Download

    Get your 3MF the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.

Files stay on your device

Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.

No file size limit

Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.

Free, no signup, no ads on conversions

No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.

About OBJ and 3MF

OBJ, Wavefront Object

OBJ is Wavefront's text-based 3D mesh format from 1990, the most-used asset interchange in computer graphics for decades. Plain text: "v" lines for vertices, "f" for faces, "vn" for normals, "vt" for texture coordinates. Optional companion .mtl file describes materials. Universal compatibility across 3D software but lacks newer features like PBR materials, animations, and skeletons.

How to open

Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Modo, MeshLab, every 3D software ever. Plain text in any editor.

3MF, 3D Manufacturing Format

3MF is the modern successor to STL, designed by the 3MF Consortium (Microsoft, HP, Autodesk, Bambu Lab, Prusa, Ultimaker). Zip-packaged XML carries mesh geometry, materials, color info, slicer settings, and multi-object scenes, everything STL lacks. Bambu Lab and Prusa have adopted 3MF as their preferred format; many MakerWorld and Printables downloads now ship as 3MF only.

How to open

PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, Cura, Simplify3D, all modern slicers. Microsoft 3D Viewer (Windows), Apple Preview (macOS Sonoma+).

FAQ

Common questions

Is this OBJ → 3MF converter really free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.

Where does my file go when I convert it?

Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.

What's the maximum file size?

Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.

Why convert OBJ to 3MF?

3D mesh interchange between modeling/rendering applications. 3D printing with full color/material/multi-object scene data. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, 3MF works in places where OBJ doesn't, or vice versa.

How do I open a OBJ file in the first place?

Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Modo, MeshLab, every 3D software ever. Plain text in any editor.

Does this work offline?

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
