Convert 3DS to OBJ online

Drop a .3ds file to turn it into OBJ. You see the model in 3D before converting, and the file never leaves your device.

About 3DS

Autodesk 3D Studio

3DS is the legacy Autodesk 3D Studio format: meshes, basic materials and texture references. Many old asset libraries still ship it.

About OBJ

Wavefront OBJ

OBJ is a simple, widely supported text format for polygon meshes. Materials live in a separate .mtl file and textures in image files; there is no animation.

How it works

  1. 01

    Drop the .3ds file (with its textures or .bin/.mtl files, if any).

  2. 02

    Check the model in the 3D preview; OBJ is already selected.

  3. 03

    Click “Convert” and the .obj file downloads.

Questions

Is the 3DS to OBJ converter free?+

Yes, without limits, sign-up or watermark.

Is my 3DS file uploaded?+

No. The 3DS file is read and converted in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Why are textures missing after converting 3DS?+

Textures stored as separate files must be selected together with the model. OBJ keeps them only if the format supports textures.
