Optimize OBJ Files Online — Remove Duplicate Vertices

Optimize your OBJ (Wavefront Object) files by removing duplicate vertices, normals, and UV coordinates.

Usually under 3 seconds — depends on file size.

When to Use OBJ Optimizer

CAD Export Cleanup

CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Rhino) often export OBJ with redundant vertices. Optimize before importing to Unity or Unreal Engine.

Game Asset Optimization

Reduce OBJ file size for game engines. Smaller files mean faster loading and lower memory usage.

TurboSquid/CGTrader Download Cleanup

Purchased a model from TurboSquid or CGTrader? Optimize to remove any inefficiencies from the original export.

Blender Import Speed

Blender loads OBJ faster when vertices are deduplicated. Optimize large models before importing.

Web3D Asset Preparation

Before converting OBJ to GLB for WebXR, optimize to reduce the source file size. Smaller input means smaller GLB output.

How It Works

OBJ files store vertices (v), normals (vn), and UV coordinates (vt) separately, then reference them in faces (f). Some exporters create duplicate vertices — storing the same coordinate multiple times.

Our optimizer builds a hash map of all vertex coordinates (quantized to 6 decimal places to handle floating-point imprecision), identifies duplicates, merges them into single entries, and updates all face references accordingly.

File size reduction depends on input quality. CAD exports typically see 20-40% reduction. Hand-crafted models see 5-15%. No geometry change — face topology, materials, and UV coordinates remain unchanged.

Typical processing time: 2-5 seconds for files under 10MB.

Frequently Asked Questions
100% lossless for geometry. Only duplicate vertex data is removed. Face topology, materials, and UV coordinates are preserved.
No. Material assignments (from .mtl file) and UV coordinates are preserved. Only redundant vertex positions are merged.
Yes. Blender's OBJ export is generally clean, but you may still see 5-15% file size reduction.
The optimizer will process the file and show the results. If no duplicates are found, the file size will remain the same.
Not yet. Batch optimization is planned for a future update. Currently you can optimize one file at a time.
