Convert DAE to GLB
Free · no signup · no watermark · runs in your browser · batch up to 20 files, download as ZIP
Loading the 3D converter…
This free DAE to GLB converter turns your .dae models into .glb files. Collada (DAE) is an older XML interchange format still exported by SketchUp and many legacy tools.
This conversion runs entirely in your browser. The file is never uploaded, which makes it instant, private and usable on work files you would not want to send to a stranger's server.
It also works as a bulk DAE to GLB converter: drop up to 20 DAE files at once, they are converted one after another in your browser, and you can download each file on its own or all of them together in a single ZIP. A file that fails is listed with the reason and does not stop the rest of the batch.
How to convert DAE to GLB
- Drop your DAE files onto the box above, or click it to choose from your computer. Up to 20 at once.
- Check the 3D preview and model info. If the model is the wrong size or lying on its back, open the options to set the source units or rotate Z-up to Y-up, then press Convert.
- Download each converted file from the list, or press "Download all (.zip)" to get the whole batch in one ZIP file.
What changes when you convert DAE to GLB
GLB can hold everything DAE can and more: meshes, PBR materials, textures, skeletons and animation.
DAE materials are approximated as standard PBR materials; exotic shading networks are not reproduced.
