How 3D Model Converter works

Step 01
Drop an STL or OBJ

Binary or ASCII STL. OBJ triangles and quads are supported (quads are triangulated on the fly).

Step 02
Pick a target

Choose STL for 3D printing pipelines, or OBJ for downstream mesh editing.

Step 03
Download

Get a clean, watertight text-format file. Shared vertex corners are automatically deduplicated on OBJ export.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Does this convert to FBX, GLTF, STEP, or DWG?+

Not yet. Those formats need either heavy CAD kernels (STEP), proprietary Autodesk libraries (FBX, DWG), or a server-side pipeline. STL and OBJ cover most 3D-printing and mesh use-cases entirely client-side.

Is normals and material data preserved?+

STL is a geometry-only format, so this conversion focuses on the mesh itself. Face normals are recomputed on STL export; materials/textures in OBJ are ignored.

How big can the file be?+

Limited by your browser's memory. Meshes up to a few million triangles convert on modern laptops in seconds.
