Free Online GLB to FBX Converter

Here is our free to use GLB to FBX 3D model converter tool that will take your GLB file and convert it to the FBX format ready for loading into your favourite 3D modeling package. Our 3D model converter supports batch processing of your files and can convert up to 20 GLB 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 GLB file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted GLB file file before this time.

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

GLB Converter Capabilities

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

The FBX format, which is short for Filmbox, is a 3D modeling format developed by Autodesk with the aim of making it an open and easy-to-use way to distribute 3D models. The format started out in the mid-1990s and quickly gained traction, with its development continuing to this day.

Along with compatibility with Autodesk's Maya and 3Ds Max applications, FBX files have gained support with other 3D model editors, including Blender.

Mesh Geometry

An FBX file is composed of 3D mesh data, including vertices, faces, normals, textures, and animations, in a text and binary format to produce a portable file that is both easy to develop and compact and efficient as a medium for the distribution of models and full 3D scenes.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my GLB to FBX?

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

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

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

Is the GLB format suitable for 3D printing?

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