Optimize GLB Files Online — Reduce File Size for Web Delivery

Optimize your GLB (glTF Binary) files for faster Web3D, AR, and VR loading.

When to Use GLB Optimizer

WebXR Performance

Large GLB files (>5MB) cause slow initial load in WebXR experiences. Optimize to reduce loading time on mobile networks.

AR Mobile Apps

ARKit and ARCore have file size constraints. Optimize large models to fit within limits for smooth AR experiences.

E-commerce 3D Product Viewers

Shopify 3D and WooCommerce AR recommend small GLB files for fast page load. Optimize product models for better customer experience.

Three.js Bundle Size

Embedding large GLB files in your Three.js app increases load time. Optimize before bundling or hosting on a CDN.

Multi-Model Scenes

Loading multiple GLB models in a single WebXR scene? Optimize each model to reduce total scene load time.

How It Works

Our GLB optimizer applies multiple techniques to reduce file size:

Mesh Quantization reduces vertex precision from 32-bit floats to 16-bit integers. File size reduction: 30-50%. Visual impact: negligible (sub-pixel precision loss). This is a lossy operation that must be explicitly enabled.

Vertex Deduplication removes duplicate vertices, textures, and materials from the mesh. File size reduction: 10-20%. No visual impact. This is a lossless operation.

Unused Data Pruning removes unreferenced nodes, meshes, materials, and textures. File size reduction: 5-10%. No visual impact. This is a lossless operation.

Typical processing time: 2-5 seconds for files under 10MB.

Frequently Asked Questions
Deduplication and pruning are 100% lossless. Mesh quantization is lossy (reduces vertex precision from 32-bit to 16-bit) but the visual difference is usually imperceptible. We clearly mark lossy options in the UI.
No. Optimized GLB files are fully compatible with Three.js, Babylon.js, and all glTF-compliant loaders. We use gltf-transform, the same library used by the glTF ecosystem.
This page optimizes GLB files only. To optimize other formats, use our STL Optimizer or OBJ Optimizer. You can also convert files to GLB first using our converters.
This optimizer applies quantization, deduplication, and pruning (30-50% reduction). Draco compression provides additional 70-80% reduction and is planned for a future update.
Not yet. Batch optimization is planned for a future update. Currently you can optimize one file at a time.
