Our free and fast tool will convert your 3D TAR (TAR) model files to a standard FBX (Autodesk Filmbox) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple TAR files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your TAR file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a FBX file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the TAR to FBX conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

A TAR file is a popular file archive format used for combining multiple files into a single compressed file, making it an ideal means of distributing collections of files.
The format can use many different compression algorithms, with the chosen algorithm determined by the type of file being added to the TAR archive.

The FBX format by AutoDesk was originally developed by Kaydara in the 1990s as a means to store 2D or 3D content with motion data. It has evolved over the years to become a widely used format by 3D modeling applications such as Blender, 3D Studio Max, and others due to its 3D animation capabilities.
The format is used to contain 3D models, which include vertices, faces, and other 3D geometry along with animation data. The format is proprietary; however, there is a publicly available API to use for development purposes. The file contents can be either text or binary, and work has been carried out by the Blender Foundation to document the format.
If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final FBX file.
First click the "Upload..." button, and select your TAR file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the TAR to FBX conversion has completed, you can download your FBX file straight away.
We aim to process all TAR to FBX 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 TAR file you submit to us. The resulting FBX file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your TAR 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 FBX file quickly.
Yes! Our TAR to FBX 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 TAR conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your TAR to FBX, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
