Two-step conversion

source -> target

  1. Step 1 — Source

    OBJ

    Drop or select a file: obj. The converter reads the content on your device.

    Accepted input: obj

  2. Step 2 — Target

    USDZ

    Set the output options, run the conversion and download the USDZ file.

    Units
    Model units (mm, cm, in)
    Orientation
    Y-up for web, Z-up for CAD and CAM
    Quality
    Triangle count or simplification target

The options above are the ones this converter exposes. Defaults are safe for most files; change them when your downstream tool expects specific units or orientation.

What this conversion does

Input

OBJ

OBJ is a text-based mesh format that can reference materials and texture coordinates, common in 3D editing and printing.

Output

USDZ

USDZ is Apple's uncompressed USD container for AR Quick Look on iPhone and iPad.

Use this converter when you have a OBJ file and the next step needs USDZ, for example AR Quick Look on iOS and iPadOS. The conversion is handled by a dedicated tool, so you do not have to install a desktop application to move a single file.

Limitations

  • Conversions run in the browser and share the memory your device gives the page. Very large files are better handled on a desktop or with a cloud task.
  • Materials and textures survive only in formats that support them. STL carries geometry alone.
  • AR Quick Look is available on iOS/iPadOS; macOS shows a 3D preview and Android has no native USDZ support. Complex PBR materials are simplified.

Frequently asked questions

Is OBJ to USDZ free?

This pair's tool is a Pro feature — the Free plan opens the tool page but shows an upgrade prompt instead of the converter. Processing still runs locally in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.

Do my files leave my device?

This pair links to a local browser converter, so the file is processed on your device and is not uploaded. Cloud processing, where a tool uses it, is labeled on the tool page and stores results only temporarily.

Can I convert several files at once?

Single-file conversion is available to everyone. Batch conversion is a paid capability, and cloud tasks have their own daily or monthly quotas. The pricing page lists the current limits.

What should I check after converting to USDZ?

Open it on an iOS device and confirm that AR Quick Look loads it at the intended size.
