Supported formats

Input and output formats supported by Convert3D

Convert3D supports many import formats and a smaller set of export formats. Import support means Convert3D can read the file. Export support means Convert3D can write that format as the final result.

Format notes

  • GLB is usually the best format for web display because it stores geometry, materials, and textures in one binary file.
  • USDZ is commonly used for Apple AR workflows.
  • STL is geometry-only. Materials and textures are not preserved.
  • OBJ often needs sidecar .mtl and texture files.
  • STEP/STP is useful for CAD exchange, but some CAD features may become mesh geometry when exported to model formats.
  • DWG/DXF can represent 2D and 3D data. See DWG and DXF before debugging a flat, empty, or unexpected CAD result.
