Why Convert STL to OBJ?

OBJ's near-universal support makes it the safest bet when you're not sure what a downstream app will accept — from sculpting tools to 3D printers to game engines.

Whether you're preparing assets for universal interchange between apps or just need a format your current tool will accept, converting from STL to OBJ takes the compatibility guesswork out of your workflow.

.STL — Stereolithography

Stereolithography is the standard mesh-only format used almost universally in 3D printing.

Target Format

.OBJ — Wavefront OBJ

Wavefront OBJ is a simple, universal geometry format supported by nearly every 3D application on the planet.
