How to do it, step by step
- Open or drag the .stl file.
- Check the model in the scene.
- Click Convert and download.
When this is useful
Show a part on a website
Web 3D viewers use GLB.
Send the model in a fuller format
GLB can carry textures, unlike STL.
Tips for a good result
- The app opens the STL with a neutral material, just so you can see the shape.
What this tool does not do
- STL carries no color or texture, so the GLB comes out with only the shape.
- Files of up to 400 MB. Everything is done in the browser, without sending the model.
- The app converts and shows the model: it does not edit the mesh or the textures.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the mesh change?
- No. The triangle count was the same in the tests.
