| Mesh geometry | Yes | Kept |
glTF is an open, JSON-based 3D transmission format that stores mesh geometry, PBR materials, textures, animation and scene hierarchy; the .gltf variant references external texture and binary files.

File format information for STL and GLTF
Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.
STL Format
STL (Stereolithography): A file format (.stl) for 3D printing and CAD, representing surface geometry as a mesh of triangles. It's simple, widely supported, but lacks color or texture data.
STL Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our STL converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
GLTF Format
glTF (GL Transmission Format): An open, JSON-based file format (.gltf) for efficient 3D model delivery. It supports geometry, materials, and animations, designed for web and cross-platform compatibility.
GLTF Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our GLTF converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

About the STL to GLTF converter
FurniMesh's STL to GLTF converter runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — your file never leaves your tab, and the conversion completes in seconds for typical furniture-model files. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the GLTF format supports them. There's no sign-up, no watermark, no per-file size cap enforced by the UI — practical limits depend on your browser's available memory.
FurniMesh natively outputs four formats — GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), and BLEND (Blender 3.0+). Bridge conversion via this converter additionally produces FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM (Rhino), IFC, DAE, PLY, OFF, 3DS, and 3MF. Use the converter to bridge between any combination — or skip the conversion step entirely if you don't have a source file yet (the FurniMesh library ships every model in all four native formats pre-rendered).
