Convert STL files to GLTF free in your browser — no signup, no install, and the file is never uploaded to a server. GLTF keeps full quality with no further loss.
Add your STL file
Drag the STL file onto the drop area above, or click it to pick a file from your device. You can add several files at once.
Confirm GLTF as the output
GLTF is already selected as the output format on this page. This format converts straight through with no extra settings.
Run the conversion
Press the convert button. Processing happens on your own device, so the time depends on your computer rather than a server queue.
Download the GLTF file
When it finishes, download the GLTF file. Converting multiple files gives you the option to download them together as a ZIP.
The de facto standard for 3D printing, describing surfaces purely as a mesh of triangles. It cannot carry color or material information.
The JSON text version of GLB, letting you inspect and edit the structure directly. Textures are usually kept as separate files.
Yes. STL to GLTF conversion is completely free with no signup, no watermark, and no daily limit on the free plan for ordinary use.
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the STL file never leaves your device. That is also why it works without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
GLTF is a newer format. Current browsers and phones handle it, but older desktop software may not — keep the original STL if you have to send it to someone on an old machine.
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.
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.
