Convert your DAE 3D models to GLB format using our free online tool. Transform COLLADA (DAE) files into GLB format while maintaining geometry and material properties. No Signup Required.
•DAE (COLLADA) format is an open standard XML schema for exchanging digital assets
•DAE was developed by Sony and is widely used in game development and animation
•GLB is the binary file format representation of 3D models using the glTF 2.0 specification
•Converting to GLB is particularly useful for web-based 3D applications, AR/VR, and game engines
Technical Insight
Converting DAE to GLB involves parsing the XML-based COLLADA structure and transforming it into the binary GLB format.
The process maintains texture coordinates, materials, and colors while optimizing the model for web and real-time rendering applications.
GLB format can preserve most of the visual properties of your DAE model while providing a more compact file size that's ideal for web delivery and real-time rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use an online DAE to GLB converter?
An online DAE to GLB converter allows you to quickly transform 3D models between formats without installing specialized software. It's convenient for converting models from any device with a browser.
Will I lose geometry or materials when converting DAE to GLB?
Our converter maintains the original geometry and material properties. GLB is a modern binary format that can preserve most of the features from your DAE model, including colors and textures.
How long does the conversion process take?
Conversion time depends on the model size and complexity. Most conversions complete within a few minutes.
Is my model data secure when using this converter?
Yes, we prioritize your privacy. Your files are securely stored on our servers and automatically deleted after 24 hours to ensure complete privacy and security.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, our DAE to GLB converter is completely free to use without any hidden charges. You just need to create an account to get started.
How long do you store our data?
Your model data is temporarily stored on our secure servers and automatically deleted after 24 hours for your convenience and privacy.
What is the limit of DAE file size?
The maximum DAE file size limit for conversion is 100MB.
