About this tool: Free FBX Viewer
Preview FBX files locally in the browser before animation review, DCC import, or asset delivery. No upload required — everything runs locally in your browser for privacy and speed.
Common use cases
- FBX files can vary by exporter. If one file fails, re-export from the source DCC tool with standard settings.
- Use FBX preview for quick visual checks, then verify rigs and animation in the target production tool.
Viewing an FBX without the whole engine
FBX is the format animation and game pipelines pass around, and it is awkward to inspect casually because it carries rigs, morph targets and animation curves alongside the mesh. A browser viewer lets you check one without opening a full DCC tool.
Checking an FBX handoff
- 1
Look at the mesh before the rig
A correct skeleton on broken geometry is still broken geometry. Confirm the silhouette first.
- 2
Check the scale and the up axis
FBX ships in centimetres from some tools and metres from others, which is the usual cause of a model that arrives tiny or enormous.
- 3
Then confirm it animates as expected
If the file was meant to carry motion, play it once rather than trusting the file name.
FBX viewer questions
- Why does my FBX import at the wrong size?
- Almost always the unit convention. FBX carries one, but exporters disagree; check the bounding box and scale on import.
- Is FBX better than GLB?
- For animation authoring pipelines it is common; for the web, GLB is what browsers load natively.
- Can I open an FBX locally?
- Yes. The viewer parses it in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
Quick tips
- FBX files can vary by exporter. If one file fails, re-export from the source DCC tool with standard settings.
- Use FBX preview for quick visual checks, then verify rigs and animation in the target production tool.
