What changes in this conversion
- GLB is a newer format — check that the software or device you are sending it to supports it before switching.
- The geometry (vertices and faces) is converted exactly. Material, texture and animation data is only carried over when both formats support it — GLB keeps what it can and drops the rest.

Frequently asked questions
Is converting DAE to GLB really free?
Yes. DAE to GLB conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
Are my DAE files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the DAE file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
Will the GLB file open everywhere?
GLB is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original DAE if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.
Does the GLB file get bigger than the DAE?
It can go either way. Both formats are lossless, so nothing is thrown away — the size difference comes from how each one packs the same data.
Is there a file size limit for DAE to GLB conversion?
The free plan handles files up to 200MB. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files depend on your computer's memory rather than a server quota.
