How do I convert a GLB file to X3D?

Upload your GLB file via drag-and-drop or file browser. Select X3D as the target format. Click the 'Convert' button to start the conversion. Once done, download your X3D file. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so no installation is required.

Why should I convert GLB to X3D instead of keeping it in GLB format?

GLB is optimized for real-time rendering and web apps, but X3D is an open standard scene-graph format widely used in CAD, scientific visualization, and legacy Web3D systems. Converting GLB to X3D ensures compatibility with X3D-based tools and browsers, and enables scene graph editing, scripting, and multi-user interaction that are not natively possible in GLB.

What GLB features and attributes are preserved during conversion to X3D?

The converter maps GLB's glTF 2.0 scene graph to X3D's node hierarchy. Geometry is preserved as indexed triangle sets, with UV coordinates and vertex colors. PBR materials (Metallic-Roughness) become X3D PhysicalMaterial nodes, including transparency and emissive maps. Skeletal animations are converted to TimeSensor and Interpolator nodes. Note that custom glTF extensions (KHR_*) may not have direct X3D equivalents, so those are flattened or skipped.
