Browser-local workflow

How this tool works

  1. Step 1

    VOX

    Choose a VOX file from this device.

  2. Step 2

    Browser-local conversion

    The supported geometry is converted in this browser.

  3. Step 3

    USDZ

    Download the USDZ result when conversion is complete.

Preserved

  • Geometry

Limited

  • Scene hierarchy

Lost

  • Vertex colors
  • Units and scale

Direct answer

What is preserved when converting VOX to USDZ?

This converter processes the VOX file locally in your browser and downloads the converted USDZ file. Geometry is retained by the current loader and writer. Scene hierarchy uses a supported subset. Vertex colors and units and scale are not included in the downloaded file.

Before you convert

VOX to USDZ compatibility

These results describe Modelfy's current browser loader and exporter, not every feature allowed by the file specifications.

Data preserved, limited, or lost when converting VOX to USDZ
DataResultWhat this implementation does
GeometryPreservedGeometry is retained by the current VOX loader and USDZ writer.
MaterialsNot in sourceVOX does not define materials to carry into USDZ.
TexturesNot in sourceVOX does not define textures to carry into USDZ.
Vertex colorsNot exportedUSDZ output from this tool does not store vertex colors.
AnimationNot in sourceVOX does not define animation to carry into USDZ.
Scene hierarchyLimitedVisible meshes are written as world-space transforms rather than the complete source scene graph.
Units and scaleNot exportedThe VOX format can contain this data, but the current single-file loader does not retain it for conversion.

Verify after export

  • Confirm scale and units when opening the USDZ file in the destination application.
  • Preview the USDZ in Apple Quick Look to confirm scale and material appearance.

Why choose this VOX to USDZ converter

Local VOX decoding

The selected VOX model file is decoded and rewritten as USDZ on your device; the model file is not uploaded to Modelfy.

VOX to USDZ data report

The compatibility table identifies geometry as preserved by this loader and writer.

USDZ output checks

Scene hierarchy is limited; review the implementation detail and verify the downloaded file in your destination tool.

Preview before export

Inspect the browser preview before converting, then use the post-export checklist to confirm the USDZ result.

How to convert VOX to USDZ online

  1. 01

    Upload your VOX file

    Drag and drop the file into the converter, or click Upload. VOX inputs up to 25 MB are processed locally.

  2. 02

    Convert to USDZ

    Preview the model in 3D, then click Convert. The conversion runs locally in the browser; processing time depends on model complexity and device resources.

  3. 03

    Download the USDZ file

    Your USDZ file downloads straight to your device, ready for the next tool in your pipeline.

About the VOX file format

MagicaVoxel

The .vox format stores models as a grid of colored voxels plus a palette. It is the native format of MagicaVoxel, the most popular free voxel editor, used widely for stylized game art.

When converted to mesh formats, each voxel becomes cube geometry with its palette color preserved as vertex colors.

Format reference: MagicaVoxel VOX format description

Strengths

  • Compact voxel grid encoding
  • Palette colors preserved
  • Perfect for stylized game art

Commonly used for

  • Voxel art and stylized games
  • MagicaVoxel project exchange
  • Voxel-to-mesh conversion

About the USDZ file format

Universal Scene Description (zipped)

USDZ packages Pixar’s Universal Scene Description into a single uncompressed ZIP archive. Apple adopted it as the native AR format for iOS: Safari, Messages, and Mail open USDZ files directly in AR Quick Look.

For e-commerce and product visualization, shipping a USDZ next to a GLB covers both Android (Scene Viewer) and iOS (Quick Look) AR experiences.

Format reference: Alliance for OpenUSD USDZ specification

Strengths

  • Native AR support on iPhone and iPad
  • Single-file scene with materials
  • Backed by Pixar’s USD ecosystem

Commonly used for

  • iOS AR Quick Look experiences
  • E-commerce product AR
  • USD pipeline delivery

Frequently asked questions

Is my VOX model file uploaded to a server?

The selected VOX model file is processed by the browser and is not uploaded to Modelfy. Website code and static assets still load over the network like a normal web page.

Will I lose quality converting VOX to USDZ?

Mesh geometry is preserved as closely as the USDZ format allows. The target format may triangulate geometry or drop unsupported features such as animations, materials, textures, or scene hierarchy.

Is the VOX to USDZ converter free to use?

Yes. The browser viewer, converter, and local 3D text tool require no account and add no watermark. Input limits vary by format, up to 50 MB; AI model generation is a separate credit-based product.

What is the maximum file size?

VOX inputs up to 25 MB are accepted. The format-specific limit keeps browser-local parsing bounded; actual processing also depends on available memory, model complexity, and device performance.

How are voxels turned into a 3D mesh?

Each solid voxel is meshed as cube faces with its palette color stored as vertex colors, so the converted GLB/OBJ keeps the voxel look. Interior faces between neighboring voxels are removed to keep the mesh lean.

Why can’t some USDZ files be opened in the browser?

USDZ archives can contain ASCII (.usda) or binary crate (.usdc) data. Browsers can parse the ASCII variant, but binary USDC (which many Apple tools export) has no JavaScript parser yet. If your file fails, convert from the original GLB instead.

AI 3D generation

From a single image to a production-ready 3D model

These browser tools stay free for viewing and converting files you already have. When the model does not exist yet, Modelfy generates a textured mesh from one reference image — the first one is free.
