Convert Autodesk 3D models (FBX) online for free
The converter easily converts your FBX 3D models to various formats - free and online. No Autodesk Maya or other 3D software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "3D Interchange Format" formats to FBX without using software like Autodesk Maya or a similar tool.
.FBX (FilmBoX) is a proprietary 3D file format developed by Kaydara and acquired by Autodesk. It stores 3D models, animations, textures, skeletal rigs, and lighting data in a single file. It is primarily used for interoperability between 3D applications like Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, Unity, and Unreal Engine.
It can be opened using dedicated 3D suites like Maya or Blender (via an importer plugin). More about the format can be found on its Wikipedia page.
The main disadvantage of .FBX is its proprietary nature. Autodesk frequently updates the SDK, which constantly breaks compatibility with older software or third-party tools. .FBX files can also become massive because they embed dense vertex data and high-resolution textures. Furthermore, they are not natively supported by web browsers, making them impossible to display directly on a website without a dedicated 3D viewer library.
To fix compatibility or web display issues, you must convert the file. For web rendering and AR applications, convert to GLTF or GLB. If you only need static 3D geometry without animation, convert to OBJ. For open-source workflows, use DAE (Collada). Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. Note that converting to simpler formats like OBJ will permanently strip out skeletal rigs and animation data.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your FBX file.
Users also converted VRM, 3D, OBJ, VMD, RBXM, GLB, ZIP, BBMODEL, BLEND, PMX, MAX, YDR and NWD files.
If you want to convert FBX file to SKP, DWG, STEP, VRM, DAE, MAX or BLEND, you can use Autodesk Maya or similar software from the "3D Animation Interchange" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DWG, IGES, WRL, JT, SKP or 3DM files to FBX, try Autodesk Maya or another comparable tool in the "3D Animation Interchange" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FBX converter.
