Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or WRL (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) model files to a standard X (Direct X File) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple WRL files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your WRL file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a X file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the WRL to X conversion process, see the conversion information section below.
Here are two simple steps to convert your WRL to X.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your WRL file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the WRL to X conversion has completed, you can download your X file straight away.
We aim to process all WRL to X 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 WRL file you submit to us. The resulting X file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our WRL to X 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 WRL 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! Our WRL tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and WRL files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the X files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

The WRL file format is a 3D-based model format originally created in the 1990's that was aimed at website usage. The format is text-based and contains 3D geometry data such as vertices, faces, simple shapes, material information, and more.
This format, when launched, was hoped to become a standard 3D format; however, due to the large file sizes, it didn't see wide adoption, although it is a supported format within some CAD software applications. It was later superseded by the X3D file format, which shares most of the functionality of WRL files.
If your WRL file contains textures, these will be ignored. If a material contains color information, this will be translated where possible.

The X 3D file format extension was introduced by Microsoft with the launch of Version 2 of their 3D graphics API, Direct X, back in 2002. The format has evolved over the years; however, in 2014, the X file format was deprecated in favor of newer, more capable formats such as FBX.
The format is a simple text-based file capable of storing 3D mesh information such as vertices, faces, normals, and material information. In addition to basic 3D information, the format can also store animations with the X file format, which is primarily used in the development of games.
X files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.
Converting from the WRL file format to X can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your WRL file to a valid X 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:
In its simplest form, an WRL file is a plain text file containing human-readable 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.
For more information regarding the WRL file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the WRL format.
With the WRL file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the X format.
With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the X format.
