OBJ to TXZ Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Convert TXZ exactly like TAR.XZ. If your files are still in OBJ format, this page is the shortcut: OBJ is the veteran plain-text 3D format from Wavefront: vertices, faces and texture coordinates in a human-readable file that almost every 3D package imports.
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

About the OBJ format
OBJ (Wavefront, 1990s) is the veteran of 3D model exchange: a text file of vertices, UV coordinates and faces, optionally paired with an MTL material file and texture images. It predates every modern pipeline yet still opens everywhere, which keeps it as the default export of modeling tutorials, asset stores and scan software.
It is static by design — no animation, no rigging, no scene hierarchy beyond groups — and MTL's habit of referencing textures by relative path means a lonely .obj file often shows up untextured. For static meshes with appearance, it remains a dependable common ground.
+Strengths
- ✓Opens in every 3D application, old and new
- ✓Text-readable and easy to generate programmatically
- ✓Carries UVs and materials via MTL
!Limitations
- −No animation, rigging or hierarchy
- −Texture references break when files travel alone
- −Text format is bulky for dense meshes
About the TXZ format
TAR.XZ pairs the tar container with XZ (LZMA2) compression — the highest-ratio member of the tar family and the de-facto release format of modern Linux distributions. The same source tree that lands 5% smaller than TAR.BZ2 and 20% smaller than TAR.GZ is why kernel.org and GNU mirrors standardised on it.
The trade is CPU time: XZ compresses slow (dictionary sizes up to 64 MB) but decompresses fast, which makes it ideal for one-time releases that get downloaded millions of times. When you need speed instead, TAR.GZ or TAR.ZSTD are the neighbouring picks.
+Strengths
- ✓Best compression ratio of the tar family
- ✓Standard release artifact of Linux distros
- ✓Fast decompression despite slow compression
!Limitations
- −Compression is CPU-heavy and single-threaded by default
- −Larger toolchain footprint than gzip on tiny systems
Why convert OBJ to TXZ?
Think of it as moving your file to the container that fits the job. No animation, rigging or hierarchy TXZ works differently: Best compression ratio of the tar family If any of that sounds like your task, run the conversion — it takes seconds and nothing leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this OBJ to TXZ converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will my model look the same as a GLB?
Geometry, hierarchy and standard materials convert faithfully. Note that Draco-compressed GLB files and exotic extensions are not supported — export those as plain GLB from your original tool first.
How large can the OBJ file be?
Everything runs on your device, so memory is the only ceiling. Dense meshes with millions of triangles convert fine on a desktop computer, just over a slightly longer coffee break.
Does the scale or orientation of the model change?
Vertex data is converted as-is. Formats without a unit system (like STL) are interpreted as millimeters by most 3D-printing tools — scale before converting if your model uses different units.
