Use our free and fast online tool to convert your PCX (Picture Exchange) image or logo into 3D OBJ (Wavefront) mesh/model files suitable for printing with a 3D printer or for loading into your favorite 3D editing package.

How to Convert your PCX to OBJ Online?

Here are three simple steps to create an OBJ file from a PCX file.

Upload a PCX

Click the "Upload a File" button and select PCX to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Select your Options

Set the dimensions and other options, and click the "Convert to OBJ" button to convert your PCX to OBJ.

Download your OBJ

Click the download link once completed to receive your OBJ file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my PCX file to OBJ?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your PCX file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the PCX to OBJ conversion has completed, you can download your OBJ file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my PCX to OBJ?

We aim to process all PCX to OBJ conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the PCX to OBJ conversion?

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.

Is it safe to convert my PCX to OBJ on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the PCX file you submit to us. The resulting OBJ file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Can I convert PCX to OBJ on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our PCX to OBJ tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our PCX 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.

What is the maximum PCX image resolution I can upload?

The PCX image you upload can be any size, however our tool will resize it to a maximum of 800x800 pixels for normal users and for premium subscription holders this is increased to a maximum of 1200x1200 pixels.

Will the OBJ file retain the textures from my PCX file?

Yes! If your PCX file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final OBJ file.

Description

The PCX file format is a legacy image file format originally released in 1985 by ZSoft Corporation. It was the native file format for the PC Paintbrush application and soon became one of the standard image formats for DOS.

The format uses an indexed palette method for storing color information and supports formats starting at 1-bit-per-pixel (bpp) through to 8-bpp, though support for 24-bit color was added later on. Image files based on the PCX format can still be found today and are supported by a limited number of modern applications.

Description

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.

OBJ Notes

Our tool will save any material and texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final OBJ file at the time of download.
