Convert STL to OFF online
Use this STL to OFF converter to turn STL files into OFF right in your browser — ideal for 3D printing, modeling and AR/VR.
When should you convert STL to OFF?
- When you need it for 3D printing
- When you need it for modeling
- To open your files in apps that prefer OFF
- To share OFF files more easily
What happens to your file
The STL mesh is loaded and re-exported as OFF. Straight geometry conversions go through trimesh; when textures and materials need to survive the trip, the job is handed to Blender instead.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Loader | trimesh |
|---|---|
| Textured path | Blender (GLB, glTF, OBJ) |
| Materials | Not supported by the target |
What changes
- OFF describes geometry, not appearance. Textures, materials, and UV maps in the STL are not written into the output — if the model is textured, keep the original alongside it.
