Open an OBJ file in your browser
Drop in a .obj and explore it from every angle. Converted to a renderable model on your own machine, so the file never leaves your browser.

Why an OBJ often looks plain
OBJ splits a model across several files. The .obj holds vertices, faces and UV
coordinates. A .mtl beside it describes the materials. The textures are separate
image files that the .mtl references by name. Open the .obj alone and you get correct
geometry with no colour, which is usually what people are seeing when they think the viewer
is broken.
Nothing is wrong with the file. If you need the textures, keep the whole folder together in your 3D editor, or convert the model to GLB, which embeds everything in one file.
What this viewer does with it
- Parses the OBJ locally and builds a renderable model in the browser.
- Applies a neutral default material so the shape and surface read clearly.
- Reports triangle count and file size, useful for judging whether a mesh is print or web ready.
- Offers AR on mobile, subject to the mesh being light enough for the device to handle.

Frequently asked
Why does my OBJ show up grey?
Because its colour lives in a separate .mtl file and the texture images that file points at, and selecting the .obj on its own leaves those behind. The geometry and UVs are correct; only the material assignment is missing.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The OBJ is parsed in your browser and rendered locally. Nothing reaches our servers, and there is no account or sign-up.
Can I view it in AR?
On a phone or tablet, yes. Open this page on the device and use the AR button. AR wants a reasonably light mesh, so a very dense scan may render on screen and still fail to launch.
Should I use OBJ or GLB for sharing?
GLB, without much doubt. It packs geometry, materials and textures into one file, so there is nothing to lose track of. OBJ is a folder of loose files that break apart the moment one goes missing.
