Is GLBKit a free online VRM viewer?

Yes. GLBKit is a free browser-based VRM viewer with no signup. Open the VRM viewer page, drop a .vrm file, and it renders locally.

Does GLBKit upload my .vrm file to a server?

No. All parsing and rendering happens locally in your browser. Files never leave your device.

Can I pose a VRM avatar?

No. GLBKit is a viewer. It renders the avatar as a static mesh in the pose stored in the file, so you can inspect geometry, materials, and textures but cannot move joints or drive expressions. Use a dedicated VRM posing tool to animate.

Does GLBKit support MToon materials?

Yes. GLBKit renders MToon materials with the textures and shading parameters defined in the .vrm file.

What is the difference between VRM and glTF?

VRM is built on glTF 2.0 with a humanoid profile, standard blendshapes, and metadata. Use VRM for humanoid avatars and glTF for general 3D assets.

Can I take a screenshot of a VRM?

Use the universal 3D Model Screenshot tool to export a transparent PNG of any VRM model loaded in GLBKit.

Preview a VRM Avatar the Way Your Audience Will See It

VRM avatars carry humanoid rig metadata, blend shapes and MToon or PBR materials that need to render correctly for VTubing, virtual production or social VR. GLBKit opens a .vrm file straight in the browser and renders it with that context, so you can check materials and mesh detail on a commissioned or self-made avatar before it goes live. The rig is not kept for posing, so the avatar displays as a static mesh rather than a posed or animated character.

About this format

VRM is a glTF-based avatar format designed for VTubing, virtual production, and social VR. It packages a rigged humanoid model with blendshapes, materials, and licensing metadata so any app can use the avatar consistently. GLBKit renders .vrm files in the browser so you can review avatars before publishing them or integrating them into your app.

What is a .vrm file?

.vrm is a glTF 2.0 binary with a humanoid avatar profile. It defines a standard skeleton, blendshapes for expressions, and a MToon or PBR material for the character. It also carries a license and thumbnail in the metadata.

VRM is the de facto standard for VTubing apps, social VR, and game engines that consume humanoid avatars.

Common uses for VRM files

VRM is the format of choice for any humanoid avatar that needs to work across apps. Most VTubing tools and social VR platforms import VRM.

Virtual production and live event avatars

How GLBKit renders .vrm files

GLBKit parses the .vrm file as a glTF binary and renders the avatar geometry with WebGL. MToon and PBR materials are applied as authored. The humanoid rig is not kept for posing, so the avatar appears as a static mesh. You can orbit, pan, zoom, and inspect the model from any angle.

GLBKit capabilities for .vrm

GLBKit renders what a VRM file contains: geometry, materials, and textures. It is a viewer, not a posing or animation tool, so you can confirm the file loaded correctly but you cannot move the avatar or drive its expressions.

MToon and PBR material support
Animation clips listed in the analyzer panel, not played back

Who uses GLBKit for .vrm files

VRM is the lingua franca of humanoid avatars. GLBKit is the fastest way to inspect a VRM before publishing it or integrating it into your app.

VTubers and content creators reviewing avatars
App developers integrating VRM avatars
3D artists validating VRM exports
Virtual production teams
