Why Convert GLB to USDZ?
This conversion comes up whenever you need Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format instead of fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers. GLB and USDZ serve genuinely different purposes, so moving between them isn't just a formality.
GLB's limitation: not natively supported by many older DCC and game-engine importers. USDZ's strength: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references — it doesn't share that constraint.
GLB is typically produced by or used with Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers, for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers. USDZ is expected by iOS AR Quick Look instead, for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format — converting bridges that gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What software works with the converted USDZ file?
USDZ is used by iOS AR Quick Look. If you were working with Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers (which produces GLB), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
Is there a file size limit for this conversion?
Free conversions handle files up to 50MB; registered accounts get up to 100MB.
Why does USDZ exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using GLB?
Because they're built for different jobs — GLB is aimed at fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, while USDZ is aimed at Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
What happens to features specific to GLB that USDZ doesn't have?
GLB's real strength — a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures — has no equivalent once converted, since USDZ's constraint is: not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring.
