About the OBJ viewer
- Views Wavefront OBJ geometry — the widely used mesh format exported by Blender, Maya, ZBrush and most 3D tools.
- Everything runs on your device with WebGL. There's no upload, no account, and no file-size paywall.
- OBJ stores geometry; color and texture live in a separate .mtl + image files. The viewer renders the shape in a single shaded material, so materials aren't shown.
- Need it in another format? Convert the OBJ to STL, GLB or 3MF below.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I open an OBJ file online?
- Drop your .obj file into the box above. It opens instantly in a 3D viewer — drag to rotate, scroll to zoom. Nothing is uploaded; the file is read locally in your browser.
- How do I view an OBJ file without installing anything?
- Drop the .obj into the box above — that is the whole process. An online OBJ viewer skips the install entirely, which matters on a work machine where you cannot add software, or when someone emails you a single .obj and you just need to see what it is.
- Why does my OBJ open with no colors or textures?
- An .obj holds geometry only; its materials live in a separate .mtl file and its textures in image files beside it. Dropping the .obj alone gives the viewer the shape but no materials, so it renders in one shaded color. Convert it to GLB if you need the materials travelling inside a single file.
- What program opens a .obj file?
- Blender, MeshLab, Windows 3D Viewer and most 3D suites import OBJ — but they all need installing. This OBJ file viewer runs in the browser tab you already have open.
- Is this OBJ viewer free?
- Yes. It's completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no file-size limit beyond 200MB. The model is rendered locally with WebGL.
- Why doesn't my OBJ show its textures or colors?
- An .obj file stores only geometry. Colors and textures are defined in a companion .mtl file plus image maps, which a single uploaded .obj doesn't include, so the model renders in one shaded color.
- Is my OBJ file uploaded anywhere?
- No. There is no server and no upload. The file is parsed and rendered entirely on your device, and nothing is stored.
- Can I convert the OBJ after viewing it?
- Yes. Flip3D converts OBJ to STL, GLB, 3MF and PLY — all in the browser. The convert links are next to and below the viewer.
