Some metadata may not survive

Your GLB file may contain glTF extras, extensions metadata. FBX has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.

Willkommen auf unserer spezialisierten Seite für die Konvertierung von GLB- zu FBX-Dateien. In der Welt des 3D-Designs und der visuellen Entwicklung ist die Kompatibilität von Dateiformaten oft entscheidend für den reibungslosen Ablauf von Projekten. Während GLB als kompaktes Format für Webanwendungen und AR-Erfahrungen geschätzt wird, ist FBX der Industriestandard für den Austausch von 3D-Daten zwischen verschiedenen professionellen Softwarepaketen. Diese Konvertierung ist besonders relevant, wenn Modelle, die ursprünglich für Echtzeitanwendungen oder Online-Präsentationen gedacht waren, nun in komplexeren CAD-Umgebungen, Animationstools oder für hochauflösende Renderings weiterverarbeitet werden sollen. Wir verstehen die Präzision, die in Ingenieurs- und Architekturprojekten gefordert ist, und bieten Ihnen eine zuverlässige Lösung, um Ihre 3D-Assets ohne Qualitätsverlust und mit allen relevanten Metadaten zu transformieren. Vertrauen Sie auf einen Dienst, der die Integrität Ihrer Daten wahrt und den Workflow in Ihrem Unternehmen optimiert.

  • Maschinenbau-Prototypen für Simulationen

Gerade im deutschsprachigen Raum, wo Datensicherheit und die Einhaltung von Normen wie der DSGVO großgeschrieben werden, ist ein vertrauenswürdiger Konvertierungsprozess ohne externe Datenhaltung essenziell. Viele Ingenieurbüros und Mittelständler bevorzugen Lösungen, die eine lokale Verarbeitung oder zumindest höchste Transparenz bei der Datenhandhabung gewährleisten.

About GLB to FBX Conversion

Whether you're one of the many professionals working with 3d model files who work with GLB files daily, there comes a time when you need FBX instead. GLB is the binary version of glTF — the "JPEG of 3D" used in web, AR, and game engines.

Here's a typical scenario: you receive a .glb file but your project, platform, or client requires .fbx. FBX is Autodesk's 3D interchange format supporting animation, materials, and skeletal data. Rather than searching for desktop software or wrestling with command-line tools, you can convert GLB to FBX online in seconds with CocoConvert.

This conversion is ideal when you When you specifically need a FBX file for your workflow. The conversion helps you convert between formats quickly.

Converting GLB to FBX maintains high quality with CocoConvert's optimised encoder settings.

Behind the scenes, CocoConvert uses industry-standard tools — FFmpeg for audio and video, Sharp for images, qpdf for documents. Your file is uploaded securely (TLS encryption), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and auto-deleted within 24 hours. No account, no watermark, no hidden fees.

Power users can batch convert up to 100 files simultaneously with a Pro subscription, making it practical for production workflows.

How to Convert GLB to FBX

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    Drag your .glb file onto the converter. Need to process many files? Add up to 5 at once (100 for Pro).
