Free Online DAE to GLB Converter

Here is our free to use DAE to GLB 3D model converter tool that will take your DAE file and convert it to the GLB format ready for loading into your favourite 3D modeling package. If you have any external texture files, these can be selected along with your DAE file and our tool will automatically handle converting these. Our 3D model converter supports batch processing of your files and can convert up to 20 DAE files at one time.

Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.

Please note: Your DAE file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted DAE file file before this time.

The DAE to GLB model conversion tool will analyse your DAE file and convert its 3D mesh data including vertices, surfaces and where applicable vector normals and texture coordinates to the GLB format whilst maintaining the structural accuracy of your original DAE 3D model file.

The Khronos Group created the DAE file, a 3D model file format. The format is an XML text-based format, storing the 3D model information in a standardized XML structure, ensuring it is easy to add additional features without introducing compatibility issues.

Many 3D editing applications support the importing and exporting of DAE files, including the popular 3D editor Blender.

Mesh Geometry

DAE files support mesh geometry along with various types of surface definitions, from simple triangles to full polygon meshes. It has support for face and vertex normals and texture coordinates too. Mesh elements defined within the XML structure can be shared between multiple 3D objects within the final rendered scene.

DAE Converter Capabilities

As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the DAE format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

The Khronos Group developed GLB files as a format for storing complex 3D models. The format was first introduced in 2015 and aimed to create a format that could be easily adopted by third-party developers. Subsequent versions have followed this initial release, adding more complex features.

Support for GLB files is growing and has found support in many modern 3D model editors, such as Blender, which currently supports importing from and exporting to the GLB format.

Mesh Geometry

At the heart of the GLB format is its ability to store 3D geometric mesh data, which comprises vertices, faces, normals (both face and vertex normals), and texture coordinates. The data is saved in a compact binary format, ensuring GLB files are compact and easy to distribute.

As materials containing color information is supported by the DAE and GLB formats, our tool will do its best to include this in the converted GLB file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my DAE to GLB?

First, click the "Select File" button and choose your DAE file. We will upload and convert your DAE file. Once the conversion from DAE to GLB completes, use the provided link to download your GLB file.

How long does it take to convert my DAE file to GLB?

We aim to process all DAE to GLB file conversions as soon as possible; this should take around 5 seconds; however, this may be longer for larger files.

Is the DAE format suitable for 3D printing?

No. Most 3D printing slicer software will not support the DAE format. It is recommended to convert your DAE file to the STL format if you wish to 3D print it.
