BLEND to GLTF: how to convert Blender files
FurniMesh can't open .blend files, but Blender can export GLTF itself. Here's how, plus free converters for the file you export.
Quick answer: FurniMesh can't open .blend files, but Blender exports GLTF itself: open the file in Blender (free from blender.org) and use File → Export → glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf), then choose glTF Separate (.gltf). Blender is free, so this route costs nothing.

About BLEND to GLTF
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 GLTF itself, so no converter is needed — and once you have the GLTF, FurniMesh converts it free to other formats.
