How can I convert my GLTF file to OBJ?

Click the upload area and select your GLTF file. It opens and converts in your browser, so the file is not uploaded. When the GLTF to OBJ conversion has finished, download your OBJ file right away.

How long does it take to convert my GLTF to OBJ?

Most GLTF to OBJ conversions complete in a few seconds for typical furniture-model files (a few MB; uploads up to 50 MB). The pipeline runs in your browser for most format pairs — no upload to a server, no roundtrip latency. For SKP, BLEND and FBX outputs the conversion runs server-side via the native Blender or SketchUp engine, with a hard 5-minute timeout per conversion; most server-side conversions finish in well under a minute.

What does the GLTF to OBJ conversion preserve?

Materials, UV maps, vertex normals, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the OBJ format supports them. STL is the exception — it is a geometry-only format by design and discards materials and UVs. GLB and GLTF preserve embedded textures inside the file; OBJ produces an accompanying MTL material descriptor; SKP groups components logically with materials applied; BLEND preserves the full Blender scene graph with modifiers.

How does converting GLTF to OBJ work?

In order to successfully convert a GLTF formatted file to the OBJ format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed a GLTF file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type.

What if I don't have a GLTF file to convert yet?

Browse the FurniMesh 3D furniture library — every model exports natively to OBJ (visit https://furnimesh.com/library/format/obj/ for the OBJ catalog). Or generate a custom 3D model from any furniture photo with the Image to 3D AI generator at https://furnimesh.com/image-to-3d/ — output formats include OBJ natively.

About the GLTF to OBJ converter

FurniMesh's GLTF to OBJ converter runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — your file never leaves your tab, and the conversion completes in seconds for typical furniture-model files. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the OBJ format supports them. There's no sign-up (up to 20 conversions a day) and no watermark; files up to 50 MB — practical limits depend on your browser's available memory.

FurniMesh natively outputs four formats — GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), and BLEND (Blender 3.0+). Bridge conversion via this converter additionally produces FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM (Rhino), PLY and OFF, and reads IFC, DAE, 3DS and 3MF files. Use the converter to bridge between supported formats — or skip the conversion step entirely if you don't have a source file yet (the FurniMesh library ships every model in all four native formats pre-rendered).
