Convert3D converts 3D models between formats, including FBX, OBJ, USDZ and STEP; its website lists more than 1,000 possible conversions. The browser converter uses WebAssembly for local processing and says files stay on the user's computer, although its privacy policy notes that some files may be handled on Convert3D or partner servers. API processing takes place server-side. Users can preview a model by rotating, zooming and panning, and the browser viewer can show scene hierarchy, node properties, material details, wireframe view and material maps. A compressor offers low, medium and high presets plus optional geometry, quantization and texture settings, and advertises compression up to 80%. A desktop app is available for Mac, Windows and Linux. Developers can use the REST API for batch conversions in applications, pipelines and automation workflows. The Free API plan is 0.00 USD per month for 10 conversions; paid plans start at 899.00 USD per year for 5,000 conversions. Plans are also listed at 1799.00 USD per year and 4899.00 USD per year, with custom enterprise pricing for more than 100,000 conversions annually.
