Format comparison

OBJ

Wavefront OBJ

A widely supported mesh exchange format for geometry, UVs, and material references.

  • Easy to inspect and edit
  • Broad DCC and CAD compatibility
  • Material files may be separate
  • No native animation or scene packaging

glTF

GL Transmission Format

A JSON-based 3D asset format for interoperable runtime delivery and inspection.

  • Readable JSON scene structure
  • Good for web and toolchain handoff
  • May reference external buffers or textures
  • Embedded glTF works best for browser-only conversion

Choose OBJ to glTF when

Best use

Use it when you need an inspectable glTF scene for web tooling, debugging, or JSON-based handoff.

What carries over

glTF keeps an inspectable scene structure. Review external buffers or textures if the source was not fully embedded.

Check before handoff

Open the glTF in your target viewer and confirm buffers, images, materials, and relative paths resolve correctly.
