Convert 3DS to GLB online
Drop a .3ds file to turn it into GLB. You see the model in 3D before converting, and the file never leaves your device.

About 3DS
Autodesk 3D Studio
3DS is the legacy Autodesk 3D Studio format: meshes, basic materials and texture references. Many old asset libraries still ship it.
About GLB
Binary glTF 2.0
GLB is the binary version of glTF 2.0: geometry, PBR materials, textures and animations packed into one file. It is the standard for web 3D, AR and most game engines.
How it works
- 01
Drop the .3ds file (with its textures or .bin/.mtl files, if any).
- 02
Check the model in the 3D preview; GLB is already selected.
- 03
Click “Convert” and the .glb file downloads.
Questions
Is the 3DS to GLB converter free?+
Yes, without limits, sign-up or watermark.
Is my 3DS file uploaded?+
No. The 3DS file is read and converted in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Why are textures missing after converting 3DS?+
Textures stored as separate files must be selected together with the model. GLB keeps them only if the format supports textures.
