Free GLB to OBJ Converter
Convert GLB to OBJ locally for Blender, Maya, mesh editing, CAD review, or handoff.
Convert GLB to OBJ locally before editing or mesh handoff.
About this tool: Free GLB to OBJ Converter
Convert GLB to OBJ locally in your browser for Blender, Maya, CAD review, or mesh handoff. No upload required — everything runs locally in your browser for privacy and speed.
Common use cases
- OBJ is a broad exchange format for mesh editing and DCC handoff.
- Some GLB material data may not survive as a single OBJ file.
Converting GLB to OBJ for older tools
Use GLB to OBJ when the next tool refuses glTF: Blender, Maya and most legacy CAD seats read OBJ. OBJ is the more compatible format, GLB is the more complete one, and compatibility is the only reason to make the swap.
How to convert without losing the model
- 1
Start from the GLB
Convert from the file that still contains everything. Converting an OBJ that itself came from an STL compounds the loss twice over.
- 2
Carry the .mtl with the .obj
OBJ writes materials into a sibling .mtl plus the texture images. Ship all of them together, with the folder structure the .mtl expects.
- 3
Re-check the result
Open the converted OBJ in a viewer and confirm the triangle count, the bounding box and that the material is applied.
GLB to OBJ questions
- Why does my converted OBJ arrive grey?
- The .mtl did not travel with it, or its texture paths are absolute paths from your machine. Zip the set, or send the GLB instead.
- Is OBJ better than GLB?
- No. OBJ is more widely read; GLB is a single file with textures and animation inside. Convert for compatibility, not for quality.
- Should I convert to STL instead?
- Only if the destination is a slicer. For anything that opens in a 3D editor, OBJ keeps more.
Quick tips
- OBJ is a broad exchange format for mesh editing and DCC handoff.
- Some GLB material data may not survive as a single OBJ file.
