What is a GLB Viewer?
A GLB viewer is an online tool that allows you to open, view, and interact with GLB (GL Transmission Format Binary) 3D model files. GLB is a popular format for 3D models that includes geometry, materials, textures, and animations in a single binary file. Our viewer supports all GLB features including embedded textures, materials, and animations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between GLB and GLTF files?
GLB is the binary version of GLTF (GL Transmission Format). GLB files contain all assets (geometry, textures, materials, animations) in a single binary file, while GLTF files are JSON-based and may reference external assets. Our viewer specifically supports GLB format.
Can I view animations in GLB files?
Yes! Our viewer fully supports GLB animations. If your GLB file contains animations, you'll see animation controls that allow you to play, pause, and switch between different animation sequences.
What are the mouse controls for viewing 3D models?
Use left-click and drag to rotate the model, scroll wheel to zoom in and out, and right-click and drag to pan the view. These intuitive controls make it easy to inspect your 3D model from any angle.
Are my GLB files uploaded to your servers?
No, absolutely not. All GLB file processing happens entirely in your browser using WebGL technology. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Can I change the lighting of my 3D model?
Yes! Our viewer includes multiple environment lighting presets such as sunset, dawn, night, warehouse, forest, apartment, studio, city, park, and lobby. You can cycle through these environments to find the best lighting for your model.
How do I take a screenshot of my 3D model?
Click the camera/video icon in the top-right controls to capture a high-quality PNG screenshot of your current 3D model view. The screenshot will automatically download to your device.
