How STL to OBJ conversion works
- Drop your STL file (
.stl, ASCII or binary) above. - The mesh is parsed locally in your browser — no CAD engine download needed.
- Vertices and faces are serialized as a Wavefront OBJ file.
- Preview the result and download the .obj.
Why convert STL to OBJ?
STL is the standard for 3D printing, but many modeling and rendering tools prefer OBJ: it is plain text, human-readable, and carries the same triangle mesh. Converting STL to OBJ makes your print-ready models editable in Blender, importable into Unity or three.js, and easy to inspect by hand.
About the OBJ output
- Plain-text Wavefront OBJ (
vvertices +ffaces). - Both ASCII and binary STL inputs are supported.
- Have a STEP file instead? Use the STEP to STL or STP to OBJ converter.
FAQ
- Is this STL to OBJ converter free?
- Yes — unlimited conversions, no account, no watermark.
- Does it support binary STL files?
- Yes — both ASCII and binary
.stlfiles are accepted. - Are my files uploaded?
- No. The conversion runs 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
- Will the OBJ keep my model's scale?
- Yes — vertex coordinates are copied exactly, so units are preserved.
