View 3D WRL Files Online

Use this free tool to view your 3D WRL (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) files online without needing to install any software. Our WRL viewer tool will generate a real-time 3D preview of your WRL file with Pan and Zoom controls, allowing you to see your 3D model from any angle.

Our WRL viewing tool can load most WRL files, and we are working on improvements all the time to improve compatibility with all file formats. If you are looking to convert your 2D image files to 3D files, such as STL, then we have a 2D to 3D conversion tool here.

How to View your WRL File Online?

Description

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 It was later superseded by the X3D file format, which shares most of the functionality of WRL files.
