How to convert GLB to glTF

  1. Add your GLB 3D models

    Drop GLB files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. glTF is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the glTF, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The GLB to glTF converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your 3D models are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

GLB to glTF: what to expect

GLB and glTF describe the same scene. GLB packs the JSON description, geometry and textures into one binary file, while glTF keeps the description as readable JSON, which you can open in an editor to inspect nodes and materials.

The model is converted as triangles: lines and points are dropped, positions are used as they are, and no axis conversion is applied, so a model that is Y-up in glTF and Z-up in STL, OBJ and PLY is written exactly as it was read. Textures are not carried over, a glTF that points at a separate .bin file cannot be read from a single dropped file, and Draco or meshopt compressed geometry is refused with a message asking for an uncompressed export. The .gltf is a single file with the geometry embedded in it, so no separate .bin file is needed. Models up to 3,000,000 triangles are accepted.

GLB vs glTF

GLB

GLB 3D model

GLB packs a glTF scene, its geometry and its textures into one binary file, so it can be shared, uploaded or opened in an AR viewer without any companion files. Most 3D viewers on the web and social platforms prefer it.

GLTF

glTF 3D scene

glTF is called the JPEG of 3D. A .gltf file is JSON describing a scene, with meshes, materials, animations and cameras, usually pointing at a separate binary data file and texture images. Version 2.0, from 2017, is an ISO standard.

Questions

Are my 3D models uploaded anywhere?

No. The GLB to glTF conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting GLB to glTF?

No further quality is lost: glTF stores the decoded audio exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several GLB files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert GLB to glTF on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the GLB file, press Convert and save the glTF. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Models up to 150 MB and 3,000,000 triangles are accepted; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
