Why Convert GLTF to USDZ?
glTF's limitation: splits geometry, materials, and textures across separate files. USDZ's strength: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references — it doesn't share that constraint.
The short version: glTF is optimized for human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description, USDZ is optimized for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, and this converter exists for the moment those two needs don't line up.
Our engine reads a file built around human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any special settings before uploading my GLTF file?
No special setup is required — upload the file as-is. glTF files meant for human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description convert most predictably; unusually exported or non-standard files are the most common reason a specific one might need extra attention.
Will I lose anything converting GLTF to USDZ?
Converting to USDZ means adapting to a real constraint: not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring. Anything glTF carries — built as it is for human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description — that has no equivalent there won't make the trip, but the core content converts faithfully.
Is there a file size limit for this conversion?
Free conversions handle files up to 50MB; registered accounts get up to 100MB.
Is the conversion from GLTF to USDZ reliable?
Straightforward files convert reliably. glTF's limitation — splits geometry, materials, and textures across separate files — combined with USDZ expecting Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, means unusual or edge-case source files can occasionally need a second look.
What's the real difference between GLTF and USDZ?
glTF is built around human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description (the JSON-based "JPEG of 3D"). USDZ is built around Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format instead (a zipped, self-contained package of USD) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
