3dconverter
3DConverter.online is a free browser-based tool that performs 3D file conversion directly on the user's device. It supports a deliberately limited set of mesh formats: STL, OBJ, FBX, GLB, and 3MF, with conversion directions such as 3MF to STL, GLB to OBJ, GLB to STL, FBX to GLB, OBJ to STL, and STL to 3MF. All processing happens locally in the browser, and files are never uploaded or stored. The tool provides a model preview before conversion and documents exactly what each destination format can preserve, avoiding false claims about CAD, proprietary project, or animation preservation. It also offers specialized utilities including a private GLB compressor and an STL repair tool. The maximum file size is 150 MB, and no account or sign-in is required. It is designed for practical workflows such as sending a prototype to a slicer for 3D printing, exchanging static meshes between modeling and visualization tools, and publishing self-contained models for ecommerce viewers or web AR. The interface is available at 3dconverter.online.
