Short answer: yes, you can convert FBX to USD online for free, and quality is well preserved with the right settings. Just upload your .fbx file to CocoConvert, pick USD as the output, and click Convert. The whole process takes seconds.
Now for the details. FBX is Autodesk's 3D interchange format supporting animation, materials, and skeletal data. USD is a widely used file format. Converting between these two formats lets you convert between formats quickly.

CocoConvert runs entirely online — no software to install, no account to create. Your files are encrypted during upload (TLS), processed on isolated servers in Germany, and permanently deleted after 24 hours. It works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
