Good to know

If your OBJ has companion files (.mtl and texture images), select them together with the OBJ file so materials come through.

Questions

Are materials and textures kept?

Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when GLB supports them. Texture images are kept for formats that can hold them.

Will my model be upside down?

No. OBJ and GLB may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser.
