Convert GLB to FBX for Game Engines and DCC Tools
Pull a web-optimized GLB model back into a traditional game-development or animation pipeline — Unity's legacy importer, Maya, 3ds Max, and many asset stores still standardize on FBX.

Why Convert GLB to FBX?
GLB is built for efficient delivery — compact, single-file, ideal for web and AR. But many established game-engine workflows and DCC tools were built around FBX long before glTF existed, and still expect it as the interchange format for textured, rigged assets.
Converting unpacks GLB's embedded materials, textures, and (when present) skeletal animation into FBX's structure, so the asset behaves the same way in a traditional pipeline as it did in a glTF-based one.
This is common when reusing an asset originally built for a web viewer or AR experience inside a full game project, or when an asset store or teammate specifically requires FBX delivery.
How conversion works
- Upload your GLB file.
- MiConvert unpacks embedded materials, textures, and animation into FBX's structure.
- Download the converted FBX file.
- Import into Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, or 3ds Max.
Key Conversion Features
- Unpacks GLB's embedded materials and textures into FBX's structure
- Preserves skeletal animation and skinning data when present
- Compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, and 3ds Max
- No glTF viewer or web tooling needed — works directly from your uploaded GLB
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts

Frequently Asked Questions
Will animations and skinning carry over from GLB to FBX?
Yes, when present — GLB's skeletal animation and skinning data map directly to FBX's equivalent structures.
Do embedded textures survive the conversion?
Yes — GLB's embedded textures are extracted and linked in the resulting FBX package.
Will PBR materials (metallic/roughness) look the same in my DCC tool?
Materials are converted as closely as FBX's material model allows; some DCC tools interpret PBR properties slightly differently on import, so a quick material check after import is worth doing for critical renders.
Why convert to FBX instead of just using GLB directly?
Some engines and DCC tools — particularly older Unity projects, Maya, and 3ds Max workflows — either don't support glTF/GLB import natively or have more mature tooling built around FBX.
