About MAX files

MAX files are proprietary 3D animation files created by Autodesk 3ds Max, a popular 3D modeling and animation software. They are used to store 3D models, textures, materials, lighting, and animation data. MAX files are not compatible with other 3D animation programs, so if you want to open them in another program, you will need to convert them first.

The most common file formats to which MAX files can be converted are FBX, OBJ, STL, DAE, and 3DS. There are several software programs available to convert MAX files, such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk FBX Converter, and Autodesk Maya. All of these programs are available for free download or purchase.

When converting MAX files, it is important to consider the file size and complexity of the 3D animation. Large files and complex animations can take a long time to convert and may require additional software or hardware to complete the conversion process. Additionally, some of the converted files may not retain all of the original data, so it is important to check the converted file for accuracy.

MAX files are not the easiest to convert, and there are some drawbacks to using them. They are not compatible with many other 3D animation programs, and the conversion process can be time-consuming and difficult. For these reasons, it is often easier to use a free and easy online website such as Convert.Guru to convert MAX files.


The MAX Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best MAX converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
