Free Online OBJ to VID Converter

Our OBJ to VID converter will take the 3D model contained within your OBJ file and create a simple animated video file that will be saved to the VID format. You may upload up to 20 files at one time and have them batch converted to the VID format.

Select File(s)

Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.

Please note: Your OBJ file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted OBJ file file before this time.

To get started, click the "Select File" button; this will open up a file browser with which you can select your OBJ files from your local device. Once selected, you can click the "Convert" button to have our tool convert them to the VID format.

File information for OBJ and VID

Full Name	Wavefront
Extension	OBJ
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text

An OBJ file is a text-based file format used for the storage of 3D model data. The format was developed in the 1980s by Wavefront Technologies as a means to store the geometric mesh data associated with a 3D model. It has garnered widespread support in the following years, and you will find options to load from and save to the OBJ format in most modern 3D modeling applications.

As OBJ files are essentially text files, they can grow quite large when working with large and detailed 3D models.

Mesh Geometry

Within a 3D OBJ file are lists of vertices, mesh faces, face normals, texture coordinates, and more. The vertices, normals, and texture coordinates are stored in a continuous list and are indexed referenced within a separate list of mesh faces, ensuring optimal use of space within the file. A mesh face may contain three or more points, each of which can use a unique vector normal and texture coordinate.

OBJ Converter Capabilities

As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the OBJ format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

Extension	VID
Type	Video
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

A VID file is a video file format native to the ZX Spectrum Next. It stores uncompressed video as a sequence of images along with 8-bit audio. The only currently supported resolution of the video is 320x240 in 256 colors at around 16.6 FPS. For additional technical information, please see the Spectrum Next developer portal.

The VID format supports additional resolutions and framerates, which may or may not include a separate palette per frame. The conversion currently supported is for 320x256 resolution only, with a palette per frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my OBJ to VID?

First, click the "Select File" button and choose your OBJ file. We will upload and convert your OBJ file. Once the conversion from OBJ to VID completes, use the provided link to download your VID file.

How long does it take to convert my OBJ file to VID?

We aim to process all OBJ to VID file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.

Is the OBJ format suitable for 3D printing?

No. Most 3D printing slicer software will not support the OBJ format. It is recommended to convert your OBJ file to the STL format if you wish to 3D print it.
