Free converter

Convert OBJ to STL for printing.

Drop a .obj below and download a print-ready STL for Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio or any slicer. The conversion happens in your browser — no upload, no account, no waiting in a queue.

Why this tool

Free, private, in the browser.

Print-ready binary STL

The output is a compact binary STL that every slicer accepts — Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Chitubox.

In-browser and private

The mesh is converted locally with three.js. Client models and originals never leave your machine.

Preview before you convert

The loaded OBJ renders in 3D on the page so you can confirm it's the right file and geometry.

How it works

Three steps, no setup.

01
Drop your OBJ

Drag the .obj file into the tool, or click to browse your computer.

02
Convert to STL

One click re-encodes every face as STL triangles, locally in the browser.

03
Slice and print

Download the .stl and load it straight into your slicer.

Why convert OBJ to STL?

Slicers speak STL. OBJ files from marketplaces, sculpting apps and photogrammetry carry UVs and material references that a 3D printer cannot use — and some slicers refuse or mangle OBJ input. Converting to STL strips the model down to exactly what printing needs: watertight triangle geometry.

Tips for a printable result

Conversion preserves the mesh as-is; it does not repair it. For a clean print the source mesh should be manifold (watertight, no holes or self-intersections). If your slicer reports errors after conversion, run its built-in repair or a tool like Meshmixer — the issue lives in the source geometry, not the format change.

Questions

Answered, plainly.

Is this OBJ to STL converter free?+

Yes, completely — no signup, no limits, no watermark. It's one of Sculpty's free tools.

Does my model get uploaded?+

No. The conversion runs client-side in your browser, which is also why it's faster than upload-based converters.

What happens to my textures?+

STL cannot store colors, UVs or textures — every STL is untextured geometry by definition. The shape converts perfectly; the appearance data is dropped because printers don't use it.

Binary or ASCII STL?+

Binary — it's a fraction of the size of ASCII STL and accepted by every modern slicer.

My OBJ is in multiple parts. What happens?+

All mesh parts are combined into a single STL, which is the standard behavior for printing.
