OBJ to FBX Converter

Turn OBJ files into FBX without installing anything. The target format on this page is already set to FBX, so a single file or a whole folder is one press of Convert away.

  • Whole batches at once
  • Quality you control
  • Removed once it is done

Files travel over TLS and are deleted from the server as soon as the conversion finishes.

OBJ and FBX: what actually changes

OBJ is plain-text geometry with an .mtl sidecar for materials — universal, and very old. FBX is Autodesk's interchange format, the standard for rigged and animated assets.

Meshes, normals and UV coordinates are translated between the two scene descriptions rather than re-tessellated, so the geometry you get out is the geometry you put in. The FBX you get back keeps skeletons, skinning, animation takes and cameras, and gives up openness — the format is proprietary. Check materials and texture paths afterwards — that is where OBJ and FBX disagree most.

How it goes3 steps

  1. Add your OBJ files
    Drop them onto the box above or click Select File. Add as many .obj files as you like — the whole batch converts in one go, and duplicates are ignored.
  2. Confirm FBX as the output
    FBX is already selected as the target format on this page. Tweak the options if you need something other than a straight FBX file.
  3. Download your FBX
    Hit Convert and grab the finished FBX files individually or as a single ZIP. Everything is deleted from the server once you have them.
