You can import a variety of asset types into Unity Lite, including images and 3D models.

Supported image file formats

Unity Lite supports the import of the following types of image files:

```
.png
```
```
.jpg
```
```
.jpeg
```

Supported 3D model file formats

Unity Lite supports a wide range of 3D asset file formats, which you can import into your projects. The following file formats Unity Lite directly supports. This means you can import these files without needing to convert them:

```
.glb
```
```
.obj
```
```
.fbx
```

If your asset is larger than 200 MB, Unity Lite will use a preview

GLB

file instead of the original

GLB

OBJ

, or

FBX

file.

The Asset Manager can convert many more file formats to a supported format. Which formats it can convert depends on your Unity account tier. User tiers include:
