Convert GLTF to GLB Online
Convert a glTF 3D model into GLB — the compact binary version of glTF that packs geometry, materials, and textures into one self-contained file. GLB is what most web and AR viewers, including Three.js, Babylon.js, and mobile AR, load fastest. Everything runs in your browser with no software to install.

Why Convert GLTF to GLB?
glTF and GLB are the same 3D format in two different packagings. A .gltf file is human-readable JSON that often references separate .bin geometry and external texture image files, while GLB packs all of that into a single self-contained binary file.
Bundling everything into one GLB makes a model far easier to upload, share, and load in web and AR viewers — there are no missing-texture or broken-reference problems, because nothing lives in a separate file that can get lost.
glTF is convenient to inspect and edit; GLB is optimized for fast, reliable delivery. This converter exists for the moment you need the compact, single-file version for the web or AR.

- MiConvert converts it to GLB, aiming to preserve what makes GLB useful: a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures.
- Download the converted GLB file.
- Use it directly with Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What software works with the converted GLB file?
GLB loads in web engines like Three.js and Babylon.js, in iOS and Android AR viewers, and in tools such as Blender and Windows 3D Viewer. Because everything is bundled into one file, there are no external textures to go missing.
Is there a file size limit for this conversion?
Free conversions handle files up to 50MB; registered accounts get up to 100MB.
What's the real difference between GLTF and GLB?
They hold the same 3D data. A .gltf file is human-readable JSON that often references separate .bin geometry and image files, while GLB packs the JSON, geometry, and textures into one compact binary file — easier to share and faster to load.
Do I lose any data converting glTF to GLB?
No — GLB is simply a different packaging of the same glTF data. Converting bundles the JSON, geometry (.bin), and textures into a single binary file without altering the model itself.
Is glTF or GLB better?
Neither is strictly better — they hold the same 3D data. glTF is JSON-based and human-readable, often split into a .gltf file plus separate .bin and texture files, which is convenient while authoring. GLB packs everything into one compact binary file that loads faster, which is why it's preferred for shipping models to web and AR viewers.
How do I convert glTF to GLB in Blender?
In Blender, import the model with File > Import > glTF 2.0, then export it via File > Export > glTF 2.0 and choose the 'glTF Binary (.glb)' format option. If you'd rather not open Blender, this converter produces the same single-file GLB directly in your browser.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
