About GLB to OBJ Conversion

The GLB to OBJ converter transforms modern web-optimized GLB files into the widely-compatible OBJ format. While GLB is perfect for web applications and AR experiences, OBJ remains the universal interchange format supported by virtually every 3D software including Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and ZBrush. This converter extracts geometry, materials, and textures from your GLB files and creates OBJ files with accompanying MTL material files.

Our converter intelligently processes GLB files, preserving UV mapping, material properties, and texture references. The output includes an OBJ file for geometry, an MTL file for materials, and all texture files properly referenced. Whether you're importing web models into desktop 3D software, preparing assets for rendering, or exchanging models between different applications, this tool ensures compatibility and quality.

How to Convert GLB to OBJ

  1. 1Upload your GLB file to the converter. The tool accepts GLB files from any source including web downloads, game engines, or 3D modeling software.
  2. 2The converter extracts all data from your GLB file including geometry, materials, and textures. Complex models with multiple materials are handled automatically.
  3. 3Processing is instant for most files. The converter creates an OBJ file, MTL material file, and extracts all textures with proper naming and references.
  4. 4Download the result as a ZIP archive containing the OBJ file, MTL file, and all texture images. Extract and import into your 3D software of choice.

💡 Tip: After conversion, the OBJ file will reference the MTL file for materials. Keep all files in the same folder when importing to ensure textures load correctly in your 3D software.

Common Use Cases

Desktop 3D Software

Import web-based GLB models into Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, or Cinema 4D for further editing, rendering, or animation. OBJ is universally supported.

3D Rendering

Convert GLB models to OBJ for use in rendering engines like V-Ray, Corona, or Octane. Prepare web assets for high-quality offline rendering.

CAD Software

Import GLB models into CAD applications that support OBJ format. Bridge the gap between web 3D and engineering/design software.

Asset Exchange

Convert GLB to OBJ for sharing models with collaborators using different software. OBJ's universal compatibility ensures smooth workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this tool.

Converting GLB to OBJ is useful when you need a simple, widely-supported 3D format for 3D printing, CAD software, or applications that don't support GLB. OBJ is one of the most universally compatible 3D formats, making it ideal for sharing models across different platforms.
Use this conversion for 3D printing preparation, importing into CAD software, sharing models with users who don't have modern 3D software, or when you need a simple format without advanced features like animations or complex materials.
Our converter preserves geometry, vertex normals, and texture coordinates from GLB files. Materials and textures are exported as separate MTL and image files. Advanced GLB features like animations, Draco compression, or complex PBR materials are simplified or omitted.
Yes, materials are exported as MTL files and textures as separate image files. The OBJ file references the MTL file, which contains material definitions and texture paths. This ensures your model retains its appearance when imported into OBJ-compatible software.
OBJ files have excellent compatibility across virtually all 3D software, CAD applications, and 3D printing software including Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, SketchUp, Fusion 360, and most 3D printing slicers. It's one of the most universally supported 3D formats.
Simply click 'Select File' or drag and drop your file into the upload area. The conversion will start automatically and you'll be able to download the converted file once it's complete.
You can upload files up to 100MB in size. For most 3D models, this is more than sufficient. If you need to process larger files, please contact us for assistance.
Our conversion tools are designed to preserve quality as much as possible. However, some formats may have different capabilities. We use industry-standard algorithms to ensure minimal quality loss during conversion.
Processing time depends on file size and complexity. Most files are converted within 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Larger or more complex models may take longer.
Yes! This tool is completely free to use with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or limitations. You can convert as many files as you need without any cost.
Absolutely. We take privacy seriously. Your uploaded files are processed securely and automatically deleted from our servers after conversion. We never store or share your files.
