Convert your OBJ 3D models to DAE format using our free online tool. Transform Wavefront OBJ files into COLLADA Digital Asset Exchange (DAE) while maintaining geometry and materials. No Signup Required.
The OBJ format was developed by Wavefront Technologies in the 1980s and has become one of the most widely supported 3D file formats.
While OBJ files are easy to work with, they often require separate MTL files for materials and individual texture files, making them cumbersome to share.
DAE (COLLADA) was developed by the Khronos Group as an open standard XML-based format designed for exchanging digital assets between graphics applications.
This conversion is especially useful when you need to use your 3D models in game engines or animation software, as DAE preserves animation data and scene information in a widely compatible format.
Converting OBJ to DAE involves transforming the geometry, material information, and textures from the text-based OBJ format into the XML-based COLLADA format.
The process requires parsing the OBJ file's vertex positions, normals, UVs, and material definitions, then restructuring them into the DAE's XML structure with proper scene hierarchy.
Our converter ensures proper scene organization, material references, and geometry structure in the DAE output to maximize compatibility with game engines and animation software.
Converting to DAE offers several advantages: better support for animations, hierarchical scene structures, and wider compatibility with game development and visualization software including Unity, Unreal Engine, and Blender.
An online OBJ to DAE converter allows you to quickly transform 3D models between formats without installing specialized software. It's convenient for converting models from any device with a browser.
Our converter maintains the original geometry and basic material properties. The DAE (COLLADA) format supports advanced material properties and animations, so you won't lose critical information.
Conversion time depends on the model size and complexity. Most conversions complete within a few minutes.
