About This Tool

OBJ is a common format used by 3D modeling tools like Blender and Maya. Its color and surface detail live in companion MTL files and texture images. This viewer loads OBJ and material files together and renders the model in real time, so you can quickly check the result. The OBJ is parsed on your machine and nothing is uploaded, so unreleased work stays private.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all FAQs

What if an OBJ file won't open or displays incompletely?

Make sure you upload all required assets: the .obj file, the .mtl file, and every texture image. A ZIP archive containing them in one folder is the easiest way to avoid missing files.

Why are the material and texture colors wrong?

This is usually caused by a mismatch between the image paths in the MTL file and the uploaded files. Put the textures in the same folder as the OBJ, or upload a ZIP from that folder.

How can I view an OBJ model with multiple material groups?

Such models are automatically split into material groups. Upload all related files and you will see the assembled result with each material in place.

Can I rotate and zoom to view the model?

Yes. Drag to rotate the view and use the scroll wheel to zoom. You can inspect the model from any angle with smooth performance and no extra software.

Is OBJ a good format for sending models to clients or partners?

Yes. Nearly all 3D programs open OBJ, so it is a safe choice for sharing. Keep the .obj, .mtl, and texture files together and send them as a ZIP. For a true single-file option, convert to GLB.

Can I preview photogrammetry OBJ scans?

Yes. Photogrammetry tools export textured OBJ meshes of scanned objects and scenes. Upload the OBJ along with its MTL and texture files, or a ZIP containing them, to inspect the scanned surface in detail.
