GLB is the single-file binary packaging of glTF, the "JPEG of 3D". One file carries geometry, materials, textures and animations, optimized for fast GPU loading. It is the standard for web 3D, AR on Android, e-commerce product viewers and real-time applications.
3MF is the modern replacement for STL, backed by the 3MF Consortium (Microsoft, HP, Autodesk, Prusa and others). It stores watertight meshes together with units, colors, materials and print settings in one ZIP-based file, and current slicers increasingly prefer it over STL.
| GLB | 3MF | |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | GPU-ready triangle mesh | Watertight triangle mesh |
| Units | Meters by spec | Yes, required by spec |
| Colors & materials | Full PBR materials | Colors & materials |
| Animations | Yes | No |
| Typical use | Web, AR & real-time delivery | Modern 3D printing |
Yes — free with no accounts, no watermarks and no file-size limits. Conversion runs on your own machine, so there are no server costs behind it.
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your .glb file never leaves your device, which makes it safe for confidential designs.
Yes — parts and assembly hierarchy are preserved where 3MF supports them, and you can optionally merge everything into a single mesh during conversion.
Yes. Every converted model opens in the built-in 3D viewer with an assembly tree, display modes and section views, so you can inspect the result first.
GLB can contain textures and animation, but this converter carries geometry, hierarchy and one flat base color per part; texture maps, rigs and animation tracks are omitted. The 3MF writer keeps model units, part names and one base color per mesh, but it does not write textures, advanced materials or print settings.
Which file format should you actually print from? A practical ranking of STL, OBJ, 3MF and AMF for FDM and resin printing, with free conversion tools.
GLB is the binary form of glTF — the standard format for 3D on the web and in AR. What GLB files contain, how to open them free, and how to convert to and from GLB.
Most online CAD converters upload your intellectual property to unknown servers. Learn what actually happens to uploaded files and how client-side conversion avoids the risk.
