Why Convert USDZ to GLB?
If you need a file built for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers but only have one built for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, converting is usually the fastest path — USDZ and GLB serve different enough purposes that recreating the asset from scratch rarely makes sense.
The short version: USDZ is optimized for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, GLB is optimized for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, and this converter exists for the moment those two needs don't line up.
Our engine reads a file built around Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion from USDZ to GLB reliable?
Straightforward files convert reliably. USDZ's limitation — not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring — combined with GLB expecting fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, means unusual or edge-case source files can occasionally need a second look.
Do I need iOS AR Quick Look installed to convert my file?
No — the conversion happens entirely on our servers. You don't need iOS AR Quick Look, and you don't need Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers either unless you plan to open or edit the GLB result afterward.
Why does GLB exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using USDZ?
Because they're built for different jobs — USDZ is aimed at Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, while GLB is aimed at fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
Why would I need GLB instead of just keeping USDZ?
Mainly when your workflow specifically calls for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers — that's GLB's whole reason for existing, and USDZ isn't built to provide it, since it's focused on Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format instead.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
