Create 3D animations with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a OBJ (Wavefront) 3D model file, and from this, create an animated WEBP (WebP) file that you can then download and share without the need for any complex 3D modeling software.
Our OBJ to WEBP animation tool includes options to adjust the camera position within the 3D world, set the resolution of the generated WEBP file, and, if your OBJ file contains any animations, allow you to set the animation to play. To get started, please click the Upload button and select your OBJ file.
Here are three simple steps to create an WEBP file from a OBJ file.
| Extension | OBJ |
| Full Name | Wavefront |
| Type | 3D Model |
| Mime Type | text/plain |
| Format | Text |
| Tools | OBJ Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create OBJ Animation, Compress OBJ, OBJ Asset Extractor, Text to OBJ, OBJ Viewer |
| Open With | Daz Studio, MeshLab, CAD Assistant |
The OBJ file format, originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors, is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D models/geometry. This data can include vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and references to external texture files.
As the format is text-based, it is relatively straightforward to parse in 3D modeling applications. A downside of the text-based format is that the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.
If your OBJ file is uploaded with accompanying MTL and texture files, these will be applied to the conversion process.
| Extension | WEBP |
| Full Name | WebP |
| Type | Image |
| Mime Type | image/webp |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | WEBP Converters, Create Cookie Cutter, WEBP Viewer |
| Open With | Paint.NET, Photoshop |
The WebP format created to be a successor to the JPEG image file format features enhanced lossy compression, resulting in smaller files than a comparable JPEG file. The format also supports lossless compression and animations, making it possible to use it as an alternative to animated GIFs.
The format has its limitations, such as a maximum width of 16384 pixels. Support for displaying WebP images is well supported within most modern web browsers, with older browsers such as Internet Explorer requiring additional plugins to display the image content.
If your OBJ file has separate material (MTL) and texture (PNG, JPG, etc.) files, you can drag and drop these onto the upload tool along with the main OBJ file. Our tool will intelligently detect which of these additional files belongs to the OBJ file. Alternatively, you can place these additional files, along with the OBJ file, within a ZIP or other compressed archive file and upload that.
Many 3D file conversion websites use the same off-the-shelf components to convert files, these often lack features and full OBJ file compatibility. Our bespoke file conversion tools offer full OBJ file compatibility and have been developed in-house by a team of developers, some of whom have over 30 years of experience working with 3D graphics file formats, meaning our tools will convert your OBJ file quickly and accurately with maximum compatibility.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your OBJ file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the OBJ to WEBP conversion has completed, you can download your WEBP file straight away.
We aim to process all OBJ to WEBP 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 OBJ file you submit to us. The resulting WEBP 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 OBJ 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 WEBP file quickly.
Yes! Our OBJ to WEBP 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 OBJ 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 OBJ to WEBP, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
