How to convert IRR to OFF

  1. 01

    Add your .irr file

    Drag your Irrlicht Scene file onto the drop zone, or click it to browse. Bring its textures and sidecar files in the same drop and they get wired back up.

  2. 02

    Check the preview

    The model is parsed on your machine and drawn in the viewport, so a wrong axis or a missing texture shows up before you commit rather than downstream.

  3. 03

    Save the .off file

    Press convert. The Object File Format file is written in the tab and lands in your downloads folder. No link, no expiry, no account.

What carries over, and what does not

A format conversion is a translation, and translations lose things. Here is what actually happens when an IRR file becomes an OFF file.

DataIRROFFSurvives
GeometryYesYesYes
Materials & colourYesNoDropped
Texture mapsYesNoDropped
Animation & rigsNoNon/a
Scene hierarchyYesNoDropped

Expect to lose

  • OFF has no concept of texture coordinates or image maps; the model comes out untextured.
  • The scene hierarchy is flattened: separate objects in the IRR file are merged into one mesh.

None of this is a defect in the conversion; it is what OFF is specified to hold. If you need the missing data, convert to GLB instead, which carries geometry, PBR materials, textures and animation in a single file.

What our OFF writer puts in the file

Geometry only, which is all OFF holds. A model with more than one material comes out as COFF with a colour on each face.

Bring the sidecar files

Drop the .irrmesh, .obj or .3ds files the scene references in together with the .irr.

About Irrlicht Scene

An .irr file is an Irrlicht scene description: an XML tree of nodes carrying positions, rotations, scales and material settings, with the actual geometry referenced by filename. That means an .irr on its own is mostly empty; drop the meshes it names in alongside it and the scene assembles.

Commonly seen in: Irrlicht, Irrlicht scene editors. More on the IRR format page.

About Object File Format

OFF is about as simple as a mesh format gets: the word OFF, three counts, a list of vertices, and a list of faces indexing them. It comes out of Princeton’s Shape Benchmark and the geometry-processing world, which is where you still meet it: segmentation datasets, computational geometry papers and course assignments almost always ship OFF.

Commonly seen in: Princeton Shape Benchmark, MeshLab, CGAL, Geomview, academic datasets. More on the OFF format page.

How the conversion works

When you drop a file in, the bytes are handed to a parser compiled to run in your browser. The IRR data is decoded into an in-memory scene graph of meshes, materials and transforms, which is what the preview is drawing. Pressing convert walks that scene graph back out through a OFF writer and hands you the resulting bytes as a download.

The whole round trip is local. The page itself is static: it is delivered once and then does its work offline. That is why the privacy claim is checkable rather than a promise.

IRR to OFF: common questions

Is my IRR file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read by code running inside this browser tab and never crosses the network. You can prove it by disconnecting from the internet before you convert, the page keeps working, or by watching the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while you drop a file in.

How large an IRR file can I convert?

There is no server-side limit because there is no server. The practical ceiling is your own machine's memory: a browser tab can usually handle models up to a few hundred megabytes. Very dense scans or scenes with millions of triangles will take a few seconds and a lot of RAM.

Why does my converted OFF file look untextured?

OFF stores geometry only; it has no way to record materials or texture maps. If you need the surfacing to survive, convert to GLB or glTF instead.

Does it cost anything?

No. There is no fee, no account, no watermark and no per-file limit. Since the conversion runs on your hardware rather than ours, serving this page costs about as much as serving a blog post.

Does it work on a Mac, on Windows or on a phone?

All of them. There is nothing to install: any browser with WebGL 2 will do, which covers current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop, and Safari and Chrome on mobile. A phone has less memory than a laptop, so a very heavy scene may be the one thing it cannot finish.
