Convert XYZ to GLB Online
Convert XYZ to GLB in seconds. XYZ is a minimal plain-text point-cloud format; GLB's strength is this: a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures. No software installation required — everything runs in your browser.

Why Convert XYZ to GLB?
This conversion comes up whenever you need fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers instead of the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates. XYZ and GLB serve genuinely different purposes, so moving between them isn't just a formality.
GLB was built around fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, which is precisely the gap XYZ leaves open, since it's designed around the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates instead.
XYZ works well for the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates, but has a real limitation: no structure, color, or metadata beyond raw coordinates. Converting trades that for this: a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures.
How to Convert XYZ to GLB
- Upload your XYZ file.
- 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.
Key Conversion Features
- No local software installation required for either side — not laser scanners and point-cloud tools, not Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers — everything runs in the cloud
- Bridges the gap between XYZ's focus on the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates and GLB's focus on fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers
- Purpose-built for the shift from the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates to fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, not a generic pass-through
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts
- Converts XYZ into GLB, aiming to preserve what matters most: a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to features specific to XYZ that GLB doesn't have?
XYZ's real strength — about as simple and universally parseable as a point cloud gets — has no equivalent once converted, since GLB's constraint is: not natively supported by many older DCC and game-engine importers.
Is GLB objectively better than XYZ?
Not objectively — GLB is better specifically for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers. For the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates, XYZ is still the right tool; that's exactly why both formats exist.
Will I lose anything converting XYZ to GLB?
Converting to GLB means adapting to a real constraint: not natively supported by many older DCC and game-engine importers. Anything XYZ carries — built as it is for the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates — that has no equivalent there won't make the trip, but the core content converts faithfully.
What software works with the converted GLB file?
GLB is used by Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers. If you were working with laser scanners and point-cloud tools (which produces XYZ), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
Why would I need GLB instead of just keeping XYZ?
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 XYZ isn't built to provide it, since it's focused on the simplest possible point-cloud export — just coordinates instead.
