Create compressed ZIP files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a LWO (LightWave Object File) file and compress and convert this file to a ZIP (ZIP Archive) file that you can then download and edit or use within your applications.

The LWO, or LightWave 3D Object file, is a 3D graphics file format originally released in 1990 and available for the Amiga, Mac OS, and Windows. The LightWave software was developed by NewTek and is used in the television and film production of 3D digital effects.
The LightWave software is still a popular choice for 3D modeling and digital effects, with the most recent version being released in 2021. The format can contain 3D model or mesh information along with material and animations.
If your LWO file is uploaded with accompanying texture files, these will be included in the conversion process.

The ZIP file is one of the most common types of compressed file types available and is widely used to compress any file type and give great compression results, leading to smaller file sizes. ZIP files were originally released in 1989, and over time, the format has undergone many revisions.
ZIP archives can contain any number of folders and files and can use many different compression algorithms to perform the file compression, though DEFLATE is the most common one in use. The format has built-in support in many operating systems, including Mac OS and Microsoft Windows.
If your LWO file has separate texture (PNG, JPG etc.) files, you can place these additional files, along with the LWO file within a ZIP or other compressed archive file and upload this.
Yes! Our LWO tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and LWO files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the ZIP files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your LWO file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the LWO to ZIP conversion has completed, you can download your ZIP file straight away.
We aim to process all LWO to ZIP conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the LWO file you submit to us. The resulting ZIP file, once created is deleted 20 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your LWO file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted ZIP file quickly.
Yes! Our LWO to ZIP tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our LWO conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your LWO to ZIP, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
