Free converter

Convert glTF to OBJ in one click.

Drop a .gltf below and download its geometry as a Wavefront OBJ for Blender, Maya, ZBrush or any modeling tool. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded.

Why this tool

Free, private, in the browser.

Web scene to editable mesh

glTF is a delivery format; OBJ is the interchange format DCC tools import without plugins. One click bridges them.

Geometry, normals and UVs kept

The mesh converts one-to-one with its texture coordinates, ready for re-texturing downstream.

In-browser and private

Parsed and re-exported with three.js locally. No server ever sees your asset.

How it works

Three steps, no setup.

01
Drop your glTF

Drag the .gltf in — self-contained files (embedded buffers) convert best.

02
Convert to OBJ

The scene's meshes are re-encoded as Wavefront OBJ in browser memory.

03
Import anywhere

Open the .obj in your modeling tool and continue the pipeline.

Why convert glTF to OBJ?

glTF assets downloaded from web viewers, Sketchfab-style platforms or AI generators are optimized for rendering, not editing. When the destination is a sculpting or modeling package — or an older tool that predates glTF — OBJ remains the safest common denominator. The conversion extracts every mesh with transforms applied and writes clean OBJ geometry.

External files and materials

Two format realities to know. First, a .gltf that references an external .bin buffer can't have it read from your disk by a browser — use a self-contained .gltf or convert the GLB instead. Second, OBJ stores materials in a separate .mtl file that a browser tool can't bundle, so the output is untextured geometry with UVs intact — reapply materials in your DCC tool.

Questions

Answered, plainly.

Is the glTF to OBJ converter free?+

Yes. Free and unlimited, no account required.

Does my file get uploaded?+

No — loading, converting and exporting all happen locally in your browser.

My .gltf references a .bin file. Will it work?+

A browser can't read sidecar files from your disk, so externally referenced buffers may fail to load. Use a .gltf with embedded buffers, or if you have the .glb, use the GLB to OBJ converter instead.

Are UVs preserved?+

Yes — texture coordinates carry into the OBJ, so you can texture the model downstream. The glTF's PBR materials themselves don't transfer, since OBJ keeps materials in a separate .mtl file.
