USDZ → GLB: Apple AR models for all platforms.
Please wait
USDZ is Apple's proprietary AR format, viewable only on iOS and macOS. After converting to GLB, your model can be used in any browser, Android phone, Windows or Linux computer. This tool processes everything directly in your browser (no file upload required) preserving model details, materials, and animations, so you can easily share your work.
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 USDZ (Apple's AR format); no Apple device is needed to convert it.

Download the GLB, viewable and shareable in any browser, Android, Windows, or Linux.
USDZ can only be viewed on Apple devices, while GLB is a universal format that works in any browser, Android, Windows, and more. It makes it easy to share and showcase your models to a wider audience.
Yes. Transform animations (rotation, translation, scale) and skeletal animations are retained. However, some Apple-specific animation effects may not map perfectly, so we recommend a quick test.
Generally well. Apple's materials are very similar to GLB's metallic, roughness, and texture maps: color, glossiness, and transparency are all converted. A few advanced effects may be approximated, but the overall result is good.
Absolutely. GLB is an open standard. It can be opened directly in Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers on Android, as well as in AR apps that support GLTF, with no extra setup needed.
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so it works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android; you don't need an iPhone or Mac to read or convert USDZ files.
Yes. GLB is the standard format for web 3D; you can embed the converted model with libraries such as model-viewer or three.js, and it runs in every modern browser.
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.
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.
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.
