When to convert GLB to OBJ
Bringing an AI-generated or web-sourced GLB into a DCC tool (Blender, Maya, 3ds Max) that expects the older, more universally-supported OBJ format for a quick geometry import.
GLB vs OBJ: what’s the difference?
GLB is the compact binary format AI generators and web engines use, bundling geometry, UV coordinates, PBR materials, textures and animation into one file. OBJ is the plain-text workhorse of Blender, Maya and Cinema 4D, storing geometry as named vertices and faces with materials kept in a separate .mtl sidecar. Converting GLB to OBJ gives you clean, editable geometry ready to drop into any 3D modelling tool.
What GLB → OBJ keeps and drops
Preserved
- ✓Full mesh geometry — every vertex and face
- ✓Real-world scale and proportions
- ✓Model orientation
Dropped
- ✗PBR materials and textures — these need a .mtl file, which MeshRefinery does not export
- ✗UV coordinates — this pass exports geometry only
- ✗Animation and rigging — OBJ holds only static geometry
How to convert GLB to OBJ
- 1Drop your .glb file onto the box above, or click to browse.
- 2The file is parsed in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- 3Check the 3D preview, then click “Convert to OBJ”.
- 4A .obj file downloads, ready to import into Blender or Maya.
The OBJ you get is geometry only — MeshRefinery does not write the accompanying .mtl or preserve UVs, so materials and textures do not carry over. If you need PBR materials and textures kept in one file for the web or a game engine, keep the model as GLB instead.
GLB to OBJ — FAQ
Will materials come through?
This converter carries geometry only — GLB’s PBR materials, textures and UVs aren’t re-exported into OBJ/MTL in this pass. Reassign materials in your 3D tool after import.
Does OBJ support animation?
No — OBJ is a static mesh format. Animated GLBs export in their default (bind) pose.
