Convert other 3D model formats to GLB

GLB is a compact, low-resolution binary format known for its efficient compression and high compatibility, making it ideal for using across multiple platforms and applications.

When convert to GLB

Unsupported Formats

If your 3D asset is in an unsupported format or fails to preview correctly due to variations introduced by various 3D software applications, converting it to GLB presents a smooth and quick workaround.

File Size Optimization

For large 3D files, converting to GLB helps to reduce file size significantly without sacrificing visual quality.

Prerequisites for conversion

General prerequisites

  • The 3D model needs to be uploaded to censhare Web as a master file of the asset of the “3D model” type.

  • The file size should not exceed 1GB.

Which formats can be converted

The MIME type of the asset should be one of the following:

FBX, GLTF, OBJ, USDZ, ZIP, PLY, STL, 3DS

Convert to GLB

To convert a 3D model to the GLB format, you can use one of the buttons on the 3D model asset page, on the Preview widget. Please be aware that conversion takes some time. Each conversion counts into the monthly number of action calls included into your subscription.

Even if the preview is generated successfully, you still can convert to GLB using the conversion button in the Preview widget toolbar.
