What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "MODEL") to another (referred to as "OBJ"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, MODEL file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format MODEL to format OBJ becomes essential.

So, how can we perform MODEL to OBJ file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format MODEL and transforming it into format OBJ. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of MODEL to OBJ converters.

  • Load the MODEL file to the application
  • Select the output format of the OBJ file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file OBJ on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted OBJ file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
