FBX to OFF Converter
Drop a .fbx file below and get a .off back. The conversion happens inside this page using WebAssembly, so nothing is uploaded to a server and there is no queue to wait in.

How to convert FBX to OFF
- 1Add your FBX fileDrop the .fbx file into the box, or pick it from disk. Multiple files are converted one after another.
- 2Pick OFF as the outputOFF is already selected on this page. Adjust scale, up axis or triangle budget if the target application is picky.
- 3Download the resultThe .off file is written locally and appears as a download button next to your file.
About FBX
FBX carries rigs, skinned meshes, cameras, lights and animation takes, which makes it the backbone of film and game pipelines. The binary variant is proprietary and undocumented, so tooling support for writing it is limited.
- Maya
- 3ds Max
- MotionBuilder
- Unity
- Unreal Engine
About OFF
OFF lists vertex counts, then vertices, then polygons. That is nearly all there is to it, which is why computational geometry papers, mesh processing libraries and university courses lean on it so heavily.

- Geomview
- CGAL

Questions
Is this FBX to OFF converter free?
Yes. There is no account, no daily quota and no watermark. The tool is a static web page and the work is done by your own CPU, so there are no server costs to pass on.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. MeshFormat loads a WebAssembly build of the geometry kernels into your browser and reads the file locally. You can open the network tab and confirm that nothing leaves the page, or disconnect after the page has loaded and keep converting.
How large can a FBX file be?
The practical limit is your available memory rather than an arbitrary cap. Models up to a few hundred megabytes work on a normal laptop; very dense scans convert faster if you lower the triangle budget in the options.
What is lost when converting FBX to OFF?
Materials: material definitions are dropped, so the model arrives with a single neutral surface. Textures: texture images are dropped, so uv mapped detail will not travel with the file. Animation: animation tracks are dropped, because the output format stores static geometry only. Scene hierarchy: the scene tree is flattened, so parts arrive as a single level list rather than nested groups.
Which programs open OFF files?
MeshLab, Geomview, CGAL, libigl and most other tools that work with 3D meshes read .off directly.
