Convert 3MF to GLB (Free)
Also converts STL, OBJ, PLY, USDZ, WRL, STEP from the same file.
Runs in your browser. No upload, no signup, nothing to install.
Also from Innerscene: Circadian Lab, a free lighting calculator for room illuminance, melanopic EML, and glare.
How to convert 3MF to GLB
- 1
Open your .3mf file
Drag it onto the viewer above, or click "Open a 3MF File". Files up to 200 MB open directly; the parse runs in a worker so the page stays responsive.
- 2
Pick glTF Binary in the Export menu
Click Export in the toolbar, then GLB (.glb).
- 3
Download
The .glb is written in the browser and saved straight to your downloads folder. No queue, no email, no watermark.
What survives the conversion
A file conversion is a translation, and formats do not carry the same things. Here is exactly what moves from 3MF into GLB, and what does not.
| Geometry | Kept | Both formats store triangle meshes, so the shape transfers directly. |
|---|---|---|
| Colors and materials | Kept | GLB carries full PBR materials, which is at least what 3MF stores, so the colors come across. |
| Layers and structure | Kept | Layers survive as real layers in the GLB file, so you can still isolate and toggle them. |
| Units and scale | Kept | GLB stores an explicit unit, so the model opens at true size without rescaling. |
What the GLB writer emits: A single binary glTF with positions, normals, UVs and vertex colors, PBR materials, and each layer preserved as a named glTF node.
The source: 3D Manufacturing Format (.3mf)
Named manifold objects with their per-object colors and explicit millimeter units.
The target: glTF Binary (.glb)
The modern web and real-time 3-D format: one self-contained file with PBR materials.
Opens in: Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, model-viewer, Windows 3D Viewer, AR apps.
Your file never leaves your computer
Both the 3MF parser and the GLB writer are JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your own browser tab. There is no upload step, no server-side conversion queue, and no copy of your file anywhere but your machine. That matters for drawings under NDA, for client work, and for anything you would not email to a stranger.
Frequently asked questions
▶Is this 3MF to GLB converter free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no per-file limit and no paid tier. Innerscene.
▶Is my 3MF file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read with the browser file API and converted in the same tab. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly click Share, which is a separate, opt-in feature.
▶Will my colors and materials survive the GLB export?
GLB carries full PBR materials, which is at least what 3MF stores, so the colors come across.
▶Do layers and named parts carry into the GLB file?
Layers survive as real layers in the GLB file, so you can still isolate and toggle them.
▶Will the GLB open at the right size?
GLB stores an explicit unit, so the model opens at true size without rescaling.
▶How large a 3MF file can I convert?
Up to 200 MB, and the ceiling adapts to how much memory your device reports. The conversion runs on your own hardware, so a desktop with plenty of RAM will handle more than a phone.
▶Can I convert GLB back to 3MF?
Yes, the other direction works too. Bear in mind that anything the first conversion dropped is not restored by converting back. GLB → 3MF
▶Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. No plugin and no extension.
