Convert Your Blender 3D Model to FBX

Our free and fast tool will convert most Blender BLEND 3D model files to a standard FBX (Filmbox) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple Blender files, up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your BlenderBLEND file click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a FBX file and will ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the BLEND to FBX conversion process see the conversion information section below for more information.

How to Convert your BLEND to FBX Online?

Here are 2 simple steps to convert your BLEND to FBX.

Upload a BLEND

Click the "Upload a BLEND File" button and select a BLEND to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Download your FBX

Click the download link once completed to receive your FBX file.

FAQ

How can I convert my BLEND file to FBX?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your BLEND file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the BLEND to FBX conversion has completed, you can download your FBX file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my BLEND to FBX?

We aim to process all BLEND to FBX conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the BLEND to FBX conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my BLEND to FBX on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the BLEND file you submit to us. The resulting FBX file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Can I convert BLEND to FBX on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our BLEND to FBX tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our BLEND conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.

What version of Blender file is supported?

We currently support all Blender files compatible with version 4.0. We monitor and update our tool as newer versions become available.

I have several BLEND files, can I batch convert my BLEND to FBX?

Yes! Our BLEND tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 BLEND files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the FBX files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

How does it work?

Converting from the BLEND file format to FBX can be a complex process and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your BLEND file to a valid FBX 3D model. Lets start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source BLEND File

In its simplest form, an BLEND file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.

When our tool reads in this 3D data all we are interested in are the vertices, faces, normals, materials and textures as this is the only data that can be accurately converted into the final FBX file.

The BLEND file can contain data such as material definitions and textures that describe how a particular set of 3D geometry should be rendered. As we are creating an FBX file, which supports both materials and textures, our tool will attempt to load any materials and textures present in the BLEND file.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the BLEND file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model ready for exporting to the FBX format.

Step 3: Saving to the FBX Format

With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert this to the FBX format.

Any texture image files from the original BLEND file will be embedded within the completed FBX file.

Description

The BLEND file type is the native 3D graphics file format of the 3D modelling application Blender. Originally released in 1994 Blender has grown over the years and is one of the most popular 3D applications available.

BLEND files store 3D content such as 3D geometry, vertices, faces, normals, animations, materials and much more. Blender is free and open-source and contains many features you would expect in a high-end 3D editing application and is available for most current operating systems.

BLEND Notes

If your BLEND file contains texture files and other texture related data, these will be included in the conversion process.

Description

The FBX format by AutoDesk was originally developed by Kaydara in the 1990s as a means to store 2D or 3D content with motion data. It has evolved over the years to become a widely used format by 3D modelling applications such as Blender, 3D Studio Max and others due to its 3D animation capabilities.

The format is used to contain 3D models which includes vertices, faces and other 3D geometry along with animation data. The format is proprietary however there is a publicly available API to use for development purposes. The file contents can be either text or binary and work has been carried out by the Blender Foundation to document the format.

FBX Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture related data, these will be included in final FBX file.
