BLEND to FBX: how to convert Blender files
FurniMesh can't open .blend files, but Blender can export FBX itself. Here's how, plus free converters for the file you export.
Quick answer: FurniMesh can't open .blend files, but Blender exports FBX itself: open the file in Blender (free from blender.org) and use File → Export → FBX (.fbx). Blender is free, so this route costs nothing.
Or skip the conversion entirely — browse free FBX 3D models ready to download.

About BLEND to FBX
FurniMesh writes BLEND files (from GLB, OBJ, FBX, STL and more files, or from a photo) but can't read them: opening a .blend file needs Blender. Blender exports FBX itself, so no converter is needed — and once you have the FBX, FurniMesh converts it free to other formats.
