Convert your GLB 3D models to DAE format using our free online tool. Transform glTF Binary (GLB) files into COLLADA (DAE) format while maintaining geometry and material properties. No Signup Required.
•GLB format was developed by the Khronos Group in 2015 as a binary container for glTF
•GLB efficiently packages all assets (models, textures, animations) into a single binary file
•DAE (COLLADA) stands for COLLAborative Design Activity and is an XML-based interchange file format
•DAE is widely supported across 3D modeling and animation software including Blender, Maya, and 3ds Max
Technical Insight
Converting GLB to DAE involves extracting 3D geometry from the binary container and transforming it into the XML-based COLLADA format.
The process maintains texture coordinates, materials, and animation data while ensuring compatibility with a wide range of 3D applications.
DAE format is particularly well-suited for animation and visual effects workflows, making it a popular choice for game development and film production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use an online GLB to DAE converter?
An online GLB to DAE 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 GLB to DAE?
Our converter maintains the original geometry and material properties. DAE (COLLADA) is an XML-based format that can preserve most of the features from your GLB 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 GLB to DAE 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 GLB file size?
The maximum GLB file size limit for conversion is 100MB.
