MeshFormat
MeshFormat is a browser-based 3D conversion tool for moving models among CAD, mesh, web, augmented-reality, real-time-engine, and 3D-printing workflows.
What MeshFormat is
MeshFormat is a browser-based 3D conversion tool for moving models among CAD, mesh, web, augmented-reality, real-time-engine, and 3D-printing workflows. It reads 20 formats and writes 12, covering 229 conversion pairs. Listed readable formats include STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES, glTF, GLB, FBX, PLY, 3MF, 3DS, DAE, AMF, VRML, VTK, 3DM, BREP, OFF, and USDZ. Conversion controls handle scale, up-axis, triangle budget, decimal places, centering on the origin, and merging into one mesh. Separate tools compress models and display wireframes with model statistics. Processing runs in browser memory through a WebAssembly geometry pipeline, without sending models to MeshFormat or third parties. The site says it has no upload backend and no tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or cross-site identifiers. MeshFormat is free, requires no account, daily quota, or watermark, and file size depends on device memory.
Good
- Reads 20 formats and writes 12
- 229 conversion pairs
- Browser-memory processing
- Scale and mesh controls
- No account, quota, or watermark
Watch out
- Does not read DWG, SKP, or SLDPRT
- Does not write binary FBX
- Cannot create parametric CAD solids
- File size depends on device memory
Who it suits
It suits people who need browser-based conversion across CAD, mesh, web, AR, engine, or printing workflows. It is also useful when keeping model data in browser memory matters.
Verdict
MeshFormat combines broad format coverage with browser-local processing and practical conversion controls. Its proprietary-format and parametric-CAD limits matter for specialized workflows.
