Extract text from Object files (O2C)
To convert O2C objects to another format, you need O2C Designer or other 3D software.
To convert other file formats to the "3D Web Visualization Model" file type, you need software like O2C Designer or a similar tool.
The .O2C file is a highly compressed 3D object presentation file developed by o2c Interactive GmbH. It stores 3D geometry, textures, lighting, and animation data. Professionals primarily use it to publish interactive 3D product catalogs on the web or to share architectural models generated by CAD software like ArCon.
The main disadvantage of the .O2C format is its reliance on obsolete technology. Originally, users viewed these files directly in web browsers using a custom ActiveX control or NPAPI plugin. Modern browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox no longer support these legacy plugins. Consequently, opening an .O2C file today usually requires downloading the legacy standalone o2c Player or a paid desktop application like O2C Designer. The format is strictly closed and proprietary. Standard 3D software applications like Blender or AutoCAD cannot natively import it.
Users frequently need to convert .O2C files to open, widely supported formats like OBJ, STL, or GLTF. Converting to OBJ preserves the basic 3D mesh for general editing, while GLTF is the modern standard for web-based 3D viewing. STL is preferred if the object needs 3D printing. However, converting this format is notoriously frustrating because the proprietary compression locks the geometry data away from standard online converters.
Because the format is proprietary, it is exceptionally difficult to open or convert outside of the official ecosystem. Often, only the original CAD software that initially exported the file can properly read or re-export the 3D data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your O2C file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted 3DS, OBJ, FBX, MAX, SKP, EMN, GSM and ELT files.
If you want to convert O2C file to OBJ, FBX, DAE, 3DS, MAX, BLEND, MA, MB, C4D, STL, PLY or WRL, you can use O2C Designer or similar software from the "Interactive 3D Web Visualization" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, DAE, X3D, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP, 3DS, 3DM, OBJ, STEP or FBX files to O2C, try O2C Designer or another comparable tool in the "Interactive 3D Web Visualization" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our O2C converter.
