OBJ Viewer Online
View Wavefront OBJ 3D model files directly in your browser. Orbit, zoom, and inspect your models with professional-grade tools. No installation needed.
What is an OBJ File?
OBJ (Wavefront Object) is a widely used 3D model file format originally developed by Wavefront Technologies. It is a simple, text-based format that stores 3D geometry data including vertex positions, texture coordinates, normals, and face definitions.
OBJ is one of the most universally supported 3D file formats. It is used across industries including game development, animation, architecture, product design, and scientific visualization. Nearly every 3D modeling application can import and export OBJ files.
While OBJ files describe geometry, they are often paired with MTL (Material Template Library) files that define surface materials, colors, and textures. DWG Viewer Online renders OBJ geometry with default materials when MTL files are not provided.
How to View OBJ Files
- Open the viewer — Visit dwgvieweronline.com in any modern browser.
- Load your OBJ file — Click "Browse Files" or drag your .obj file onto the viewer.
- Explore the model — Use orbit (left-click drag), pan (right-click drag), and zoom (scroll wheel) to inspect from every angle.
- Export your view — Capture as PNG or PDF for sharing or documentation.
Features
Universal Format Support
Load OBJ files exported from Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, SketchUp, Rhino, and any other 3D application that supports the Wavefront format.
Real-Time 3D Rendering
Models are rendered using Three.js with Phong shading and lighting for clear visualization of surface details and geometry.
View Presets
Quickly jump to top, front, and right views with keyboard shortcuts. Switch between orthographic and perspective projection.
Client-Side Processing
OBJ files are parsed entirely on your device. No upload, no server processing, no data collection. Your models stay private.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I view OBJ files from Blender?
Yes. OBJ files exported from Blender, including those with complex geometry and multiple objects, are fully supported. Simply export as .obj from Blender and drop the file into the viewer.
Are MTL material files supported?
Currently, DWG Viewer Online renders OBJ geometry with default materials. Material and texture support from companion MTL files is planned for a future update.
What is the maximum file size for OBJ files?
There is no fixed limit. Performance depends on your device. Models with several hundred thousand polygons render smoothly on most modern devices.
Can I measure distances on my OBJ model?
Yes. Use the measurement tool (press M) to measure point-to-point distances on your 3D model. Results are displayed in the model's native units.
