Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or MTL (OBJ Material File) model files to a standard GLB (Graphics Language Transmission Format) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple MTL files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your MTL file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a GLB file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the MTL to GLB conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

An MTL (material) file is most commonly associated with the 3D model format OBJ and is used by the OBJ file format as a means to store material information related to the OBJ model. This material information may also include textures, which are typically stored in separate image files.
The information is stored within the MTL file as plain text, making it easy to read and modify by hand. An MTL file does not have much use without the accompanying OBJ file; however, it can be used with our range of MTL converters to convert the materials into other 3D formats that also support materials such as FBX.
Due to their nature in that they only store material data, GLB files, when imported, our tools will create some sample 3D geometry and apply the materials found within the GLB file to this geometry.

The GLB file format, which can also have the GLTF file extension depending on whether the content is binary or text/JSON, is a 3D file format used to describe 3D worlds and, as such, contains geometric data such as vertices, faces, normals, animations, and other 3D scene-related data.
The format, described by its creators as the "JPEG of 3D", has gained in popularity and is supported by a wide range of 3D modeling applications such as Blender and MeshLab. The GLB format is an open standard that is maintained by the Khronos Group.
If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final GLB file.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your MTL file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the MTL to GLB conversion has completed, you can download your GLB file straight away.
We aim to process all MTL to GLB conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
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.
Yes, of course! We do not store the MTL file you submit to us. The resulting GLB file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your MTL file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted GLB file quickly.
Yes! Our MTL to GLB tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our MTL 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.
Yes. When you have converted your MTL to GLB, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
