Use this free tool to view your 3D LWO (LightWave Object File) files online without needing to install any software.
Our tool can load most binary and text based LWO files. If you are looking to convert your 2D image files to 3D STL files then we have a 2D to 3D conversion tool here.
Here are 2 simple steps to display your LWO file in any web browser.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your LWO file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the LWO to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file straight away.
We aim to process all LWO to STL 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 STL file, once created is deleted 1 hour after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our LWO to STL 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.

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 Television and Film production of 3D digital effects.
The LightWave software is still a popular choice for 3D modelling and digital effects with the most recent version being released in 2021. The format can contain 3D model/mesh information along with Material and Animations.
