Convert AMF to USDZ
Convert AMF files to USDZ in your browser. Free, no upload, no sign-up.
Convert AMF files to USDZ directly in your browser. The converter parses the AMF mesh, rebuilds it in memory and writes it out as USDZ, triangle for triangle. USDZ can hold everything AMF carries, so nothing is dropped on the way. The AMF format also fixes its own axes and scale — Z-up, measured in millimetres — so the model is rotated and rescaled to land the way USDZ tools expect it. Nothing is uploaded, there is no file size limit beyond your computer's memory, and the result downloads instantly. USDZ lets iPhone and iPad users view the model in augmented reality directly from Safari, with no app required.
How to convert AMF to USDZ
- 1Drop your AMF file
Drag a .amf file onto the box above or click to choose one. Plain and ZIP-compressed AMF files are read; curved-triangle data is flattened.
- 2Check the preview
The model renders in 3D so you can confirm it loaded correctly. Dimensions, volume and triangle count are shown next to it; open edges are flagged if the mesh is not watertight.
- 3Download the USDZ
Adjust the export options if needed and click download. Geometry and basic materials are exported. Meshes without materials get a neutral gray so AR Quick Look renders them.
What are AMF files?
AMF is an XML format standardised as ISO/ASTM 52915 as an intended successor to STL. It supports units, colors, materials and curved triangles. Adoption stayed limited and most of the industry moved on to 3MF, but slicers still accept AMF files.
Commonly used by: older slicers, ASTM / ISO 52915 workflows

What are USDZ files?
USDZ is Apple's packaging of Pixar's Universal Scene Description. It is the format iOS uses for AR Quick Look: open a .usdz link in Safari and the model appears in your room through the camera. It stores meshes, PBR materials and textures in a single uncompressed ZIP.
