GLB viewer: open a .glb file with its textures
A GLB from a 3D generator, a client or an asset store opens here with one drag and drop, with its PBR materials and textures, lit by a neutral environment. Spin it, switch to wireframe to see the mesh, save an image. The file never leaves your device.
Nothing is uploaded: everything runs in your browser.
What the viewer shows from a GLB
Meshes, PBR materials (color, metalness, roughness), embedded textures and the object hierarchy, all lit by an indoor environment so you can judge materials. Draco- and Meshopt-compressed files are decoded. Animations are not played, and the external textures of a separate .gltf are not loaded: prefer .glb, which embeds everything.
Inspect before publishing or printing
Wireframe shows mesh density and badly triangulated areas. The triangle count appears as soon as the file opens: above a few hundred thousand, a web page will slow down on phones. If the model is meant for printing, the "STL" view shows it without colors, as a slicer will see it, and the STL checker measures its dimensions.
A GLB without colors: why
Some GLB files, especially those converted from an STL, have no color and no texture: they appear grey, and the viewer says so. That is not a reading error; it is the file's content.
How it works
Drop the .glb
Up to 80 MB on a computer, 40 MB on a phone. Draco and Meshopt included.
Rotate, zoom, switch views
Front, left, right, three-quarter; color, black and white or shape only.
Wireframe and capture
See the mesh, then save a PNG image of the view.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my GLB uploaded anywhere?
- No. Your browser reads and displays the file. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
- Are the GLB's animations played?
- No, the viewer shows the rest pose. It is an inspection tool, not an animation player.
- My .gltf with separate textures shows no colors
- The viewer only reads the file you drop. Export as .glb (binary), which embeds textures and buffers in a single file.
- Can I print it afterwards?
- The converter produces an STL from the GLB and announces the loss of colors. Then check the scale: glTF is in meters.
