Convert Blender (.blend) to OBJ for Broad Compatibility
Export your Blender scene to OBJ — one of the most universally supported 3D formats, ready for rendering, 3D printing, or import into virtually any other 3D tool.

Why Convert BLEND to OBJ?
.blend files store a full Blender scene — meshes, modifiers, materials, lights, cameras — while OBJ needs a clean, evaluated mesh with simple material references. Converting extracts just the printable/exportable geometry.
Unapplied modifiers (subdivision, boolean, mirror, array) must be evaluated to their final result during export — a modifier left unapplied in Blender means the exported mesh may not match what you see in the viewport.
OBJ is one of the safest targets when the destination software is unknown — it opens in nearly every 3D application, at the cost of Blender-specific features like shader nodes, drivers, and rigging, which OBJ has no way to represent.
How conversion works
- Upload your .blend file.
- MiConvert evaluates modifiers and exports the mesh as OBJ+MTL.
- Download the converted OBJ + MTL file pair.
- Open in any 3D or rendering software.
Key Conversion Features
- Exports Blender mesh geometry as evaluated (post-modifier) OBJ+MTL
- Translates basic material color and texture assignments to OBJ's MTL format
- Compatible with virtually any 3D software, rendering tool, or slicer
- Guidance on preparing your Blender scene for a clean export
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't my exported OBJ match what I see in Blender's viewport?
The most common cause is an unapplied modifier — the converter exports the mesh’s evaluated state, so apply subdivision, boolean, mirror, and similar modifiers in Blender first for the export to match what you see.
Will Blender's shader node materials transfer to OBJ?
Only basic color and texture assignments transfer, translated into OBJ's simpler MTL material format — complex procedural shader node setups won't carry over, since OBJ has no equivalent.
What happens to lights, cameras, and armatures in the scene?
Only mesh geometry converts — lights, cameras, and rigging/armature data have no representation in OBJ and are not included in the output.
Can I convert just one object from a larger scene?
All mesh objects in the file are included by default; if you only need one part, isolate it in its own .blend file before uploading for a cleaner result.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Recent Blender 3.x and 4.x files are supported; very old or pre-release versions may not parse correctly.
