Convert FBX to GLTF Online
Convert FBX to GLTF in seconds. FBX is Autodesk's game and animation interchange format; glTF's strength is this: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery. No software installation required — everything runs in your browser.

Why Convert FBX to GLTF?
FBX works well for moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines, but has a real limitation: exporter quirks vary by source software (Maya, 3ds Max, Blender). Converting trades that for this: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery.
FBX's limitation: exporter quirks vary by source software (Maya, 3ds Max, Blender). glTF's strength: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery — it doesn't share that constraint.
This conversion comes up whenever you need human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description instead of moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines. FBX and glTF serve genuinely different purposes, so moving between them isn't just a formality.
How conversion works
- Upload your FBX file.
- MiConvert converts it to GLTF, aiming to preserve what makes glTF useful: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery.
- Download the converted GLTF file.
- Use it directly with Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern web 3D viewers.
Key Conversion Features
- Converts FBX into GLTF, aiming to preserve what matters most: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery
- Understands that FBX is Autodesk's game and animation interchange format and GLTF is the JSON-based "JPEG of 3D", rather than treating the conversion as a blind format swap
- Purpose-built for the shift from moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines to human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description, not a generic pass-through
- Produces output ready for Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern web 3D viewers, picking up right where Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine left off
- Keeps the parts of your file that matter for human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description intact, even though the source was built for moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine installed to convert my file?
No — the conversion happens entirely on our servers. You don't need Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine, and you don't need Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern web 3D viewers either unless you plan to open or edit the glTF result afterward.
Why does GLTF exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using FBX?
Because they're built for different jobs — FBX is aimed at moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines, while glTF is aimed at human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
Will I lose anything converting FBX to GLTF?
Converting to glTF means adapting to a real constraint: splits geometry, materials, and textures across separate files. Anything FBX carries — built as it is for moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines — that has no equivalent there won't make the trip, but the core content converts faithfully.
Why would I need GLTF instead of just keeping FBX?
Mainly when your workflow specifically calls for human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description — that's glTF's whole reason for existing, and FBX isn't built to provide it, since it's focused on moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines instead.
Is GLTF objectively better than FBX?
Not objectively — glTF is better specifically for human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description. For moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines, FBX is still the right tool; that's exactly why both formats exist.
