FBX to open GLB: break free from proprietary format limitations.
Please wait
This FBX to GLB converter turns the FBX files used in game engines and film pipelines into the Web standard GLB format, carrying over animations, materials, and textures as much as possible. Everything runs locally in your browser, so no file ever leaves your computer. The compact GLB output loads fast in web viewers, game engines like Godot and Unity, and AR apps, making it a practical choice for sharing and deploying 3D content.
DefaultY-up
Determines the 'up' axis of the exported model. Different 3D software uses different conventions. Selecting the wrong system may cause the model to lie on its side.
Convention used by OpenGL, Three.js, and most Web 3D engines. Choose this for models from web or game engines.
Convention used by Blender (default), 3ds Max, and some CAD software. Try this if the model appears sideways.
Default0°
Range-180° – 180°
Rotate the model around the X axis (degrees). Useful for correcting axis misalignment or print orientation.
Default0°
Range-180° – 180°
Rotate the model around the Y axis (degrees). Useful for correcting axis misalignment or print orientation.
Default0°
Range-180° – 180°
Rotate the model around the Z axis (degrees). Useful for correcting axis misalignment or print orientation.
DefaultRoot node transform
Choose how rotation is written to the exported model. Baking into vertices rewrites all vertex coordinates so every export format (including geometry-only formats such as STL and STEP) applies it consistently; root node transform keeps the original vertex coordinates, which is friendlier to animated or skinned models, but formats that ignore node transforms (such as STEP) won't apply the rotation.
Rotation is written into all vertex coordinates and applies consistently to every export format; geometry data is rewritten.
Rotation is written as a root node transform while vertex coordinates stay unchanged; better for skinned or animated models, but formats that ignore node transforms (such as STEP) won't apply it.
Drag in the FBX; keep external textures in the same folder and use a recent FBX export for best results.
Check in the preview that animations and materials look right; the coordinate system is handled automatically.
Download the GLB and use it directly in web projects, game engines, or AR distribution.
Yes. Most skeletal animations are preserved, including transform and skinning data, so character animations play normally in the converted file. Complex or unusual animation setups may not translate perfectly, so it is worth a quick check in your target engine or viewer.
Materials are converted to GLB-compatible formats and embedded textures carry over. If external textures are missing or not referenced correctly, the affected surfaces can appear gray, so keep texture files in the same directory as the FBX before conversion.
Yes. GLB is a common AR format and an open standard, supported by many AR apps and web viewers, so the converted model works in AR scenes on Android and iOS without extra plugins.
Yes, the original coordinate system and scale from the FBX file are kept. If the model appears incorrectly oriented in your target app, apply a rotation in Blender, Maya, or your 3D software before converting.
No. Only geometry, materials, textures, and animation are converted. Cameras, lights, and other scene nodes are not part of the GLB format and are discarded.
Yes. FBX is owned by Autodesk, while GLB is an open standard maintained by the Khronos Group. Converting gives you a vendor-neutral asset that works across browsers, game engines, and AR platforms, so you are not locked into one proprietary ecosystem.
The converter supports FBX 6.1 (FileVersion 6100, released in 2008) and newer, in ASCII or binary form. Older files, usually exported before 2010, are rejected because their structure differs. Re-export from Blender, Maya, or any modern 3D tool as FBX 7.x and the file will convert cleanly.
Take a 50MB PBR model through the full pipeline—Blender export, vertex compression, KTX2 texture conversion, engine loading—and get it under 5MB. Includes a complete automation script and a series cheat sheet.
Desktop, mobile, VR, mini-programs—which compression combination should you use? This article consolidates the knowledge from the previous four articles into a decision matrix and an automation script—just follow it.
Your GLB file is only 10MB, but on your phone it eats 200MB of VRAM and crashes. Let's take a closer look at what's really going on.
