Convert OBJ to GLB via JavaScript
Instantly convert OBJ to GLB without needing AutoCAD® or any other rendering software.
How to Convert OBJ to GLB Using JavaScript
In order to convert OBJ to GLB, we’ll use Aspose.CAD for JavaScript API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for JavaScript platform. Open NPM package manager, search for Aspose.CAD and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console. For additional information on the Javascript Framework, you can go to our documentation site .
Package Manager Console Command
npm install aspose-cad
Steps to Convert OBJ to GLB via JavaScript
JavaScript programmers can easily load & convert OBJ files to GLB in just a few lines of code.
- Load OBJ file with Image.Load method
- Create an instance of GlbOptions class
- Call Image.Save method while passing the resultant file path & object of GlbOptions
System Requirements
Before running the JavaScript conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Web browser.
- Text editors such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code or Notepad or Notepad++.

OBJ What is OBJ File Format?
OBJ files are used by Wavefront’s Advanced Visualizer application to define and store the geometric objects. Backward and forward transmission of geometric data is made possible through OBJ files. Both polygonal geometry like points, lines, texture vertices, faces and free-form geometry (curves and surfaces) are supported by OBJ format. This format does not support animation or information related to light and position of scenes. An OBJ file is usually an end product of the 3D modeling process generated by a CAD (Computer Aided Design). The default order to store vertices is counter-clockwise avoiding explicit declaration of face normals. Though OBJ files declare scale information in a comment line yet no units have been declared for OBJ coordinates.

GLB is the binary file format representation of 3D models saved in the GL Transmission Format (glTF). Information about 3D models such as node hierarchy, cameras, materials, animations and meshes in binary format. This binary format stores the glTF asset (JSON, .bin and images) in a binary blob. It also avoids the issue of increase in file size which happens in case of glTF. GLB file format results in compact file sizes, fast loading, complete 3D scene representation, and extensibility for further development. The format uses model/gltf-binary as MIME type.
