How to Use GLB Viewer
Learn how to open, inspect, and preview GLB models directly in your browser with GLBKit. No installation or additional software is required.
Step 1 - Open the GLB Viewer
Open the GLB Viewer from the GLBKit website. The browser-based 3D viewer runs entirely online, allowing you to instantly open, inspect and preview GLB, GLTF and ZIP model files without installing any software.
Step 2 - Upload a GLB, GLTF or ZIP File
Drag and drop your .glb, .gltf or .zip file into the viewer or select it from your device. The model loads automatically after selection, making it easy to inspect 3D assets directly in your browser.
Step 3 - Check File Information
After the model loads, the information paneldisplays important model information, including:
- File name
- File size
- File format (GLB, GLTF or ZIP)
Step 4 - Explore the Viewer Toolbar
The top toolbar provides quick access to common actions for inspecting and navigating your 3D models, including:
- Toggle Grid - Benchmarks spatial bounds
- Reset Camera - Restores base coordinates
- Upload New Model & Fullscreen mode
Step 5 - Navigate Around the Model
Use the mouse or touch controls to inspect your GLB, GLTF or ZIP model from every angle:
- Rotate - Left click and drag
- Zoom - Scroll wheel up or down
- Pan - Right click and drag
Step 6 - Switch Display Modes
Choose the display mode that best matches your 3D inspection and production workflow:
Orbit
The default mode for viewing, rotating and inspecting GLB, GLTF and ZIP models.
Wireframe
Displays the model's mesh structure for inspecting geometry, topology and underlying mesh data.
Solid
Shows the model using its materials and textures for an accurate real-time rendering preview.
Step 7 - Reset the Camera
If the canvas orientation becomes difficult to navigate, use the reset buttonto instantly return the camera to its default position for easier model inspection.
Step 8 - Use Fullscreen Mode
Open the viewer in fullscreen for a larger workspace when inspecting GLB, GLTF and ZIP models. Once aligned, see
Tips for Inspecting GLB Models
Before implementing a GLB, GLTF or ZIP model into production, verify:
- Model orientation - Correct vector axes alignment
- Geometry limits, mesh quality, materials and texture bindings
- Overall appearance, lighting and rendering quality inside the browser viewer
