This is our fast and free file converter, specializing in converting your MAX 3D model files. You can convert your MAX files to a number of different formats, whether that be another 3D model format or an image. Our MAX converter can handle the most popular formats. Our MAX converter can also batch process up to 100 files at a time.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 100 files can be uploaded at once.
To start, please click the button above and select the 3D model MAX files you wish to convert. Once you have selected these, you can specify what you would like each file to be converted to. This could be another 3D model format, or another format from our extensive list. Once the target formats have been set, you can apply any configurations (such as applying the built-in voxelizer) by clicking the button.
Smaller "DNR" (Digital Noise Reduction) versions exist for those who want a cleaner, waxy look, but most fans swear by the "Grain" versions—a direct, untouched scan. In the age of digital revisionism, Project 4K is a time machine. It proves that when a corporation refuses to honor film history, the fans will do it themselves. Watching Han shoot first in true 4K is not just nostalgia; it is a statement that art, once released to the public, belongs to the public.
Furthermore, the project retains "theater imperfections"—cigarette burns in the corner (cue marks), slight gate weave, and analog color shifts. Watching 4K77 feels like stealing a seat at a drive-in theater in 1978. The grain structure is organic; the lightsabers glow with soft, bloomed light rather than hard digital lines. Legally, Project 4K operates in a gray area. Team Negative 1 does not sell the files. They distribute them via BitTorrent as "preservation copies" for owners of the original films. Lucasfilm (now Disney) has historically turned a blind eye to fan restorations that do not generate profit, though they have issued occasional takedowns for publicly linked files. Star Wars Original Trilogy - Project 4K -4K77- ...
While Disney debates whether to release the original cuts for the franchise’s 50th anniversary, Team Negative 1 has already finished the job. The Holy Grail isn’t lost anymore. It lives on hard drives around the world, one grain of 35mm at a time. If you love Star Wars as it was—flaws, practical effects, and all— Project 4K is the definitive version. Just don’t expect George Lucas to thank you for it. Smaller "DNR" (Digital Noise Reduction) versions exist for
For decades, a silent war has raged within the Star Wars fandom. On one side stands George Lucas, the creator who has repeatedly tinkered with his masterpiece. On the other stand purists who argue that the versions of Star Wars that won Oscars and changed cinema in 1977 no longer legally exist. Watching Han shoot first in true 4K is
Enter (often stylized as 4K77 , 4K80 , and 4K83 ). This grassroots, fan-led initiative has achieved what Lucasfilm refused to do for 40 years: preserve the original, unaltered Star Wars Trilogy in true 4K resolution. The Problem: The "Lost" Originals When George Lucas re-released the Star Wars Trilogy in 1997 (the "Special Editions"), he changed history. Han Solo no longer shot first, grotesque CGI musical numbers appeared in Jabba’s Palace, and Hayden Christensen’s ghost replaced Sebastian Shaw.
Because Disney has not officially released the theatrical cuts on 4K Blu-ray (nor have they announced plans to), many fans argue that Project 4K is an act of ethical preservation, not piracy. For the curious purist, the process is technical. You need a BitTorrent client, a large hard drive (each film is 50–90 GB for the full, uncompressed version), and a media player that supports MKV files and HDR.

A MAX file is the native (and proprietary) format of the 3D model editing software 3ds Max by Autodesk. 3ds Max is popular in a wide range of sectors, including video games, movies, professional animation, and amongst other 3D modeling enthusiasts.
The MAX file is the successor to the older 3DS format and was created to address the limitations of that format. A MAX file can contain 3D modeling data along with textures, animations, and scene lighting information, all within a single compact file format.
As already mentioned, the format is proprietary, and MAX files are designed to be opened and edited within the 3ds Max software only; however, it does provide options to export to formats such as FBX, which can then be converted to other formats using our FBX conversion tools.
MAX Converter Capabilities
Currently, our MAX converter can only convert from MAX files, our developers are working to allow converting to MAX files in future versions of our tools. Our MAX 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within MAX files, so the converted file will not contain any color information.
