How to Convert GLTF to OBJ?

Step-by-step instructions to help you transform GLTF into OBJ with ease:

  1. Install Autoconverter

    Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert GLTF files to OBJ format.

  2. Import GLTF File

    Click Open... to load your GLTF (.gltf, .glb) file, or drag and drop it into the application window.

  3. Export to OBJ Format

    Use Save As... to export your file to the OBJ mesh file format (*.obj).

GLB GLTF and GLB 3D File Format

The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.

Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files

  • GLTF Versions:
    • GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
    • GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
  • ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
  • Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.

Convert GLTF and GLB Files

With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.

OBJ What is an OBJ File? (Alias Wavefront Object Explained)

The OBJ file format is a widely used open standard for storing and exchanging 3D geometry, originally developed by Wavefront Technologies. Unlike binary formats, OBJ files use a human-readable text format, making them highly compatible across 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software.

Key Features and Benefits of OBJ Files

  • Multiple Named Objects: OBJ files can contain multiple 3D objects within a single file, each organized with individual names, ideal for complex 3D scenes and asset management.
  • Surface Materials and Textures: OBJ files support detailed surface definitions, including transparent materials and texture mapping, enabling realistic 3D model rendering.
  • Quad and Triangle Support: Geometry in OBJ files can include both quads and triangles. During OBJ file conversion, quads are automatically divided into triangles to ensure compatibility with applications that only support triangular meshes.
  • File Size Considerations: As a text-based format, OBJ files tend to be larger than binary formats like SKP or 3DS, which can impact loading speeds and storage requirements for complex models.
