What is an USDZ file?

Developed by Apple and Pixar Animation Studios collaboratively in 2018, the USDZ extension refers to a Universal Scene Description Zipped format. The primary reason for its development was to solve the transferability issue with the Pixar Animation Studios’ USD (Universal Scene Description) format. It had many layers, making it difficult for the end-user to visualize it as one object or image.
The USDZ extension is a ZIP file but without any encryption and is uncompressed, allowing better sharing and storing. It is supported on a wide range of devices, and many organizations use it for many purposes.
