How to Convert FBX to GLTF❓
Our step-by-step guide takes all the complexity out of FBX to GLTF conversion - pair it with our robust tool for flawless results every time:
📥 Download and Install
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. This application will let you to convert your FBX mesh files to GLTF format - no additional CAD software required.
📂 Open Your FBX Mesh File
Go to File > Open… to load your FBX mesh file (*.fbx), or drag and drop it directly into the application window. The model loads into the 3D viewport for inspection before converting.
💾 Save As GLTF Format
Go to File > Save As…, select GLTF (*.gltf, *.glb) as the output format, choose your destination folder and filename, then click Save to complete the FBX to GLTF conversion.
Filmbox (FBX) 3D Model File Format
The FBX file format is a proprietary, industry-standard format for 3D models, assets, and animations. Originally developed by Kaydara and later acquired by Autodesk, FBX has become a universal 3D interchange format. It enables seamless transfer of 3D data - including complex hierarchies, materials, textures, and animations - between modeling, animation, and rendering software, ensuring consistent and efficient 3D workflows.
Key Features of FBX Files
- Embedded Textures: FBX files store texture images directly within the 3D file, eliminating the need for external assets and ensuring consistent model appearance across different platforms and applications.
- Reusable Geometry Components: FBX supports modular storage of geometry components, enhancing model consistency, reusability, and efficiency.
- Hierarchical Assembly Structures: The format captures complex assembly structures and object hierarchies, enabling detailed and organized 3D scenes.
- Animation Support: FBX files can embed animation data - including skeletons, keyframes, and motion capture - making them ideal for game development, film production, and AR/VR applications (though animation support may vary between software).

GLTF and GLB 3D File Format
The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files
- GLTF Versions:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
- GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
- ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
- Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.
Convert GLTF and GLB Files
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
