How to convert glTF to OFF

  1. Add your glTF 3D models

    Drop glTF 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. OFF is already chosen

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

  3. Download

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

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The glTF to OFF 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.

glTF to OFF: what to expect

A .gltf is several files, and the geometry is in a separate binary file. OFF is a short, readable text file that geometry libraries and research code read directly. glTF is at home in 3D on the web and in real-time engines; OFF is the usual choice for simple polygon meshes in research code and shape datasets.

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. Models up to 3,000,000 triangles are accepted.

glTF vs OFF

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.

OFF 3D model

OFF lists a mesh as plain text: a header with the vertex and face counts, one line per vertex, then one line per polygon giving its corner count and vertex indices. Variants add vertex colours (COFF) or normals (NOFF). Its simplicity made it the format of shape benchmarks such as Princeton's and ModelNet.

Questions

Are my 3D models uploaded anywhere?

No. The glTF to OFF 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 glTF to OFF?

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

Can I convert several glTF 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 glTF to OFF 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 glTF file, press Convert and save the OFF. 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.
