Convert GLB to 3MF
Convert a GLB file to 3MF in your browser. Free, no upload, no sign-up.
Convert GLB files to 3MF directly in your browser. The converter parses the GLB mesh, rebuilds it in memory and writes it out as 3MF, keeping every triangle. Nothing is uploaded, there is no file size limit beyond your computer's memory, and the result downloads instantly. 3MF records the unit and can hold several objects with colors, so the model opens in the slicer at the right size without guessing.
How to convert GLB to 3MF
- 1Drop your GLB file
Drag a .glb file onto the box above or click to choose one.
- 2Check the preview
The model renders in 3D so you can confirm it loaded correctly. Dimensions, volume and triangle count are shown next to it; open edges are flagged if the mesh is not watertight.
- 3Download the 3MF
Adjust the export options if needed and click download. The exported file declares millimeters as its unit and contains the mesh as a single object.
What is a GLB file?
GLB is the binary container for glTF 2.0, the "JPEG of 3D" maintained by the Khronos Group. A single .glb file bundles geometry, PBR materials, textures and animations, and is the standard format for 3D on the web and in AR viewers.
Commonly used by: web viewers (three.js, model-viewer), AR on iOS and Android, Sketchfab, game engines
What is a 3MF file?
3MF is the modern replacement for STL, published by the 3MF Consortium (Microsoft, Autodesk, HP, Prusa and others). It is a ZIP archive containing XML that stores units, colors, materials, multiple objects and print settings. Slicers such as Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer use it as their project format.
Commonly used by: Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, Windows 3D Builder, Fusion 360
