How to convert FBX to OBJ
- Add your .FBX file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .OBJ in a few seconds.
- Download your new .OBJ file.
What to expect
- Rigs, skin weights, morph targets, and all animation data are permanently dropped - the .obj will be a static snapshot of the model in its bind pose.
- Textures are not embedded in .obj - keep the .mtl and your original texture image files in the same folder as the exported .obj or materials will appear missing.
- FBX files from different tools often use mismatched units or axis conventions; check the Scale and axis settings in Blender's FBX import dialog before exporting.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting FBX to OBJ keep textures?
The .mtl sidecar file stores texture filenames, but the image files themselves are not embedded. Place the original texture images in the same folder as the .obj and .mtl so other applications can find them.
Will animation from the FBX survive?
No - OBJ is a static mesh format and cannot store animation. If you need animation preserved, export to .glb or .dae from Blender instead.
The imported FBX model is tiny or rotated in Blender - how do I fix it?
FBX units differ between tools such as Maya and Unreal. In Blender's FBX import dialog, adjust the Scale value and the Forward / Up axis options before you export to .obj.
Can a single FBX with multiple objects export to one OBJ file?
Yes - Blender writes all mesh objects as named groups inside a single .obj file, which most importers handle correctly.
