Convert PRC to GLB (Free)
Also converts STL, OBJ, PLY, USDZ, 3MF, DAE from the same file.
Runs in your browser. No upload, no signup, nothing to install.

How to convert PRC to GLB
- 1
Open your .prc file
Drag it onto the viewer above, or click "Open a PRC File". Files up to 200 MB open directly; the parse runs in a worker so the page stays responsive.
- 2
Click Download GLB
Once the file is open, the Download GLB button sits at the bottom right of the viewer. The Export menu in the toolbar has every other format.

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 PRC 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 PRC 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: PRC (.prc, 3D PDF) (.prc)
A PRC model (.prc, ISO 14739-1) as Acrobat, Tetra4D and the 3D PDF publishers of CAD programs write it, on its own or inside a 3D PDF: the assembly tree with every part placed, the triangle meshes it stores (compressed ones rebuilt exactly), wire edges as lines, colours from its styles and materials, in its units, turned upright. Exact surfaces with no mesh are not read.
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 PRC 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.
Free to Use, No Signup
There are no accounts and no watermarks on this converter. If it saved you time, the one thing we ask is a mention: a post, a link from your blog or course page, or a reply to someone asking how to open a file.

Frequently asked questions
▶Is this PRC to GLB converter free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no per-file limit and no paid tier. Innerscene.
▶Is my PRC 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 PRC 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 PRC 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 PRC?
Not here. We read PRC and write GLB, but not the reverse. the universal 3D viewer
▶Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. No plugin and no extension.
