Convert IFC to FBX Online
Convert IFC to FBX in seconds. IFC is the Industry Foundation Classes BIM standard; FBX's strength is this: the long-standing default asset format across game-engine pipelines. No software installation required — everything runs in your browser.

Why Convert IFC to FBX?
FBX was built around moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines, which is precisely the gap IFC leaves open, since it's designed around exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools instead.
IFC's limitation: stores typed building elements and metadata, not a single printable shape. FBX's strength: the long-standing default asset format across game-engine pipelines — it doesn't share that constraint.
This conversion comes up whenever you need moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines instead of exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools. IFC and FBX serve genuinely different purposes, so moving between them isn't just a formality.
How to Convert IFC to FBX
- Upload your IFC file.
- MiConvert converts it to FBX, aiming to preserve what makes FBX useful: the long-standing default asset format across game-engine pipelines.
- Download the converted FBX file.
- Use it directly with Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine.
Key Conversion Features
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts
- No local software installation required for either side — not Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, not Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine — everything runs in the cloud
- Bridges the gap between IFC's focus on exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools and FBX's focus on moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines
- Built to handle the real-world quirks of files meant for exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools, not just a textbook version of the format
- Produces output ready for Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine, picking up right where Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla left off

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does FBX exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using IFC?
Because they're built for different jobs — IFC is aimed at exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools, while FBX is aimed at moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
What's the real difference between IFC and FBX?
IFC is built around exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools (the Industry Foundation Classes BIM standard). FBX is built around moving textured, rigged, animated assets between DCC tools and game engines instead (Autodesk's game and animation interchange format) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
What software works with the converted FBX file?
FBX is used by Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine. If you were working with Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla (which produces IFC), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
Is there a file size limit for this conversion?
Free conversions handle files up to 50MB; registered accounts get up to 100MB.
Do I need any special settings before uploading my IFC file?
No special setup is required — upload the file as-is. IFC files meant for exchanging structured building data — walls, slabs, doors — between BIM tools convert most predictably; unusually exported or non-standard files are the most common reason a specific one might need extra attention.
