About OBJ to GLTF Conversion

Did You Know?

  • OBJ (Wavefront Object) was developed by Wavefront Technologies in the 1980s and is one of the most widely used 3D model formats
  • GLTF is created by the Khronos Group and is known as the "JPEG of 3D" for web and application usage
  • OBJ files store geometry and material information, but lack animation capabilities that GLTF supports
  • Converting OBJ to GLTF allows legacy 3D models to be easily viewed in modern web browsers and game engines

Technical Insight

Converting OBJ to GLTF involves translating the plain-text OBJ structure into the JSON-based GLTF format with binary buffer files for geometry data.

The process extracts vertices, normals, texture coordinates, and material references from the OBJ and MTL files and maps them to the corresponding GLTF structure.

During conversion, texture images are optimized and embedded within the GLTF file or referenced externally, making the model more web-friendly.

OBJ vs GLTF Comparison

OBJ Format

  • Plain text format (human-readable)
  • Widely supported in 3D software
  • Simple structure (easy to parse)
  • Materials defined in separate MTL files
  • No animation or scene hierarchy support

GLTF Format

  • JSON-based format (human-readable)
  • Multiple files (JSON + bin + textures)
  • Supports animations and skinning
  • Optimized for web and app visualization
  • Wide support in browsers and 3D engines

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use an online OBJ to GLTF converter?

An online OBJ to GLTF 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.

Will I lose geometry or materials when converting OBJ to GLTF?

No, you won't lose any data when converting from OBJ to GLTF. The conversion preserves all geometry, materials, textures, and other model details from the Wavefront OBJ format to the GL Transmission Format.

How long does the conversion process take?

Conversion time depends on the model size and complexity. Most conversions complete within a few minutes.
