Simplify GLB Models Online — Optimize for WebXR & AR
Optimize your GLB (glTF Binary) models for WebXR, AR, and VR by reducing polygon count 50-90%.

Usually under 5 seconds — depends on mesh complexity.
When to Use GLB Simplifier
WebXR Mobile Optimization
WebXR experiences on mobile devices (Quest, iPhone, Android) struggle with high-poly models. Simplify to 50-70% polygon count for smooth 60fps rendering.
ARKit/ARCore File Size Limits
ARQuickLook (iOS) has a ~10MB limit. ARCore prefers <5MB for instant loading. Simplify large GLB models to fit within platform constraints.
E-commerce 3D Product Viewers
Shopify 3D and WooCommerce AR viewers recommend GLB files under 3MB for fast page load. Simplify product models for better customer experience.
Three.js Multi-Model Scenes
Loading 10-20 GLB models in a WebXR gallery? Simplify each model to reduce total scene load time and improve frame rate.
3D Scanning for Web Display
3D scans produce ultra-dense meshes (5-10M polygons). Simplify to 500K-1M polygons for web display — detail is lost anyway at typical screen resolutions.
How It Works
GLB models from Blender, 3ds Max, or 3D scanning often have millions of polygons — far more than mobile GPUs can efficiently render at 60fps. Simplification reduces polygon count without visual degradation.
The process works in five steps: first, the tool parses the GLB container to extract meshes, materials, textures, and animations. Then it applies the QEM algorithm to each mesh independently. PBR materials, texture UVs, and vertex colors are preserved throughout. Skeletal animations and morph targets remain intact with vertex indices updated automatically. Finally, the simplified meshes are repacked into GLB binary format.
WebXR performance gains are significant. On Mobile VR (Quest 2/3), a 50% polygon reduction delivers roughly 2x frame rate improvement. On Mobile AR (iPhone/Android), 70% reduction means 3x faster loading on 4G networks. Desktop WebXR benefits from 30-50% reduction for better multi-model scenes.
Quality is preserved across all attributes: PBR materials (metallic-roughness workflow), all texture maps (base color, normal, occlusion, emissive), skeletal and morph target animations, and texture coordinates which are recalculated for the simplified geometry.
Typical GLB files (1-10MB) simplify in 10-20 seconds.
