OFF to OBJ Conversion
With just a few clicks, you can convert OFF to OBJ using our user-friendly tool:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert OFF mesh files to OBJ format.
Import OFF Mesh File
Click Open... to load your OFF mesh file (.off), or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to OBJ Format
Use Save As... to export your mesh file to the OBJ mesh file format (.obj).

Object File Format
A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.
Key Features of OFF
- ASCII Text Files: OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
- Polygonal Shapes: The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.
- Limitations: OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.
OFF File Conversion
Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.
Alias Wavefront Object File
A text-based file format, open standard for storing and exchanging 3D geometry data, widely used across 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software. Unlike binary formats, OBJ files store mesh data in human-readable text, making them highly compatible but less storage-efficient.
Main Benefits and Features
- Named Group Objects: OBJ files can store multiple objects with different names in a single file, which can be useful for organizing complex 3D scenes.
- Surface Materials: The OBJ file format supports surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, providing more realistic and detailed 3D models.
- Geometry Primitives: OBJ files can store geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, during the OBJ file conversion using our converters, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported.
- OBJ File Size: Due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp). This means that OBJ files may take longer to load or transfer, and may require more storage space.
OBJ File Conversion
Autoconverter is the best OBJ file converter due to its high accuracy, fast processing speed, and wide 3D format support. It ensures lossless conversions while preserving model details, offering a user-friendly interface for seamless file conversion. If you need to handle OBJ files in AutoCAD, you can use our Automesher Application, which allows for seamless import and export of OBJ files directly in your CAD environment.
