GLB (GL Binary) is the binary file format version of glTF (GL Transmission Format), which is considered the "JPEG of 3D" - a standard for efficient delivery of 3D content.
Key features of GLB files:
GLB files are commonly used in web-based 3D applications, AR/VR experiences, e-commerce product visualization, and game development due to their efficiency and comprehensive support for 3D features.
The GLB format was developed to solve the "3D asset delivery problem" that plagued early WebGL applications.
Before GLB, loading 3D models often required dozens of separate HTTP requests for textures, meshes, and animations.
NASA uses GLB files to share 3D scans of Mars terrain and artifacts, allowing researchers worldwide to examine extraterrestrial geology without specialized software.
In retail, companies like IKEA and Wayfair have adopted GLB for their AR furniture previews, with studies showing that 3D visualization increases purchase confidence by 40%.
The format has also become essential in digital heritage preservation, with museums creating GLB archives of fragile artifacts that can be studied without risking damage to originals.
GLB files achieve their efficiency through a clever binary structure that eliminates the JSON overhead of regular glTF while maintaining its scene graph architecture.
The format uses a chunk-based approach similar to PNG files, with separate chunks for JSON metadata and binary buffer data, allowing browsers to stream and progressively load complex models.
What makes GLB particularly powerful is its support for skeletal animations using a technique called "skinning," where vertices are influenced by multiple joints with varying weights.
A single GLB file can contain multiple animation tracks that target different parts of the model simultaneously, enabling complex character movements.
Modern GLB implementations also support mesh compression techniques that can reduce file sizes by up to 80% while preserving visual fidelity.
Our GLB Viewer allows you to upload and view 3D models in GLB format directly in your browser. You can rotate, zoom, and inspect models from all angles without needing specialized software.
GLB is a binary file format of glTF (GL Transmission Format), which is a standard file format for 3D scenes and models. GLB files contain all the model information, including geometry, materials, animations, and textures in a single compact file.
Simply upload your GLB file using the upload button, and the 3D model will appear in the viewer. You can then use your mouse to rotate the model, scroll to zoom in/out, and right-click and drag to pan the view.
The viewer supports GLB files up to 50MB in size. Larger files may take longer to load depending on your internet connection speed.
Yes, your 3D models are processed entirely in your browser. We never upload or store your models on our servers, ensuring complete privacy and security of your intellectual property.
The GLB Viewer is designed for viewing only. It doesn't currently support exporting to other formats or downloading modified versions of the models.
The GLB Viewer works best on modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Make sure your browser is updated to the latest version for optimal performance.
Yes, if your GLB file contains animations, the viewer will provide controls to play, pause, and scrub through the animations included in the model.
