What is a .glTF file?
glTF is a modern, efficient 3D model format for real-time graphics and the web.
- Did you know
- glTF was released by the Khronos Group in 2015 and is often called "the JPEG of 3D".
- glTF stands for GL Transmission Format, designed by the Khronos Group as an efficient way to deliver 3D scenes to graphics applications and the web.
- glTF 2.0 became international standard ISO/IEC 12113 in 2022, and the format is widely nicknamed “the JPEG of 3D”.
- What Analyser shows you
- View STL, OBJ, PLY, OFF, STEP, IGES, BREP, 3MF, AMF and glTF/GLB models in an interactive WebGL viewer with orbit, orthographic or perspective projection, a wireframe topology overlay, an orientation cube, triangle count, bounding box, surface area and volume. glTF 2.0 and binary GLB scenes are parsed natively - the node graph is flattened, mesh geometry shown, and the authoring tool, version and mesh/material/animation counts read. STEP/IGES/BREP are tessellated with OpenCASCADE and STEP shows its originating CAD system, version and AP203/214/242 protocol; 3MF and AMF let you inspect each model and assembly on the build plate individually. Wavefront material libraries (MTL) are broken out into each material with its colours, shininess, opacity and the texture files it references.
- Open a .glTF file
- Drag a .glTF file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
