What changes in this conversion
- The geometry (vertices and faces) is converted exactly. Material, texture and animation data is only carried over when both formats support it — OBJ keeps what it can and drops the rest.
How to use
-
Add your DAE file
Drag the DAE file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
-
Confirm OBJ as the output
OBJ is already selected as the output format on this page. This format converts straight through with no extra settings.
-
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Processing happens on your own device, so the time depends on your computer rather than a server queue.
-
Download the OBJ file
When it finishes, download the OBJ file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting DAE to OBJ really free?
Yes. DAE to OBJ conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my DAE files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the DAE file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Does the OBJ file get bigger than the DAE?
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
Is there a file size limit for DAE to OBJ conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
