Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device’s processing power. The file never leaves your computer or phone, which is why it also works when your connection drops.

Does the animation come across?

Yes. GLB is one of the two formats here that store animation, and the clips are carried over. The tool tells you how many it found.

Do the textures come with it?

If they were embedded in the FBX, yes. If the FBX referenced image files sitting next to it, add those images along with the FBX and they will be packed into the GLB.

Convert FBX to GLB

Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.

GLB is what the web and AR want: one self-contained file with geometry, materials, textures and animation inside it. FBX is what came out of your animation package. This converts one to the other in the tab, with the clips intact.

This is the conversion most people actually mean when they say they need to get a model “onto the web”. A GLB drops straight into a model viewer, into a browser scene, into AR on Android, and into most engines — and because everything is packed into the single file, there are no missing textures at the far end.

The conversion runs on your own machine, which for a 3D file is the whole point: a model is usually a client’s product, a scanned property or something not yet announced. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing to delete afterwards and nothing to take anyone’s word for.

How to convert FBX to GLB
