Runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded, and there is no sign-up.

How to open an FBX file online

Drop your .fbx file onto the viewer, or click to browse for it.
The file is parsed on your own machine and rendered straight away.
Explore it from any angle. On a phone, use the AR button to place it at real size.

What FBX is for

FBX is Autodesk's interchange format for animation and games. Maya, 3ds Max, MotionBuilder, Blender, Unity and Unreal all read and write it, and asset stores sell most characters and props as FBX. It can hold meshes, materials, embedded textures, skeletons, skinning and animation in one file.

The format is proprietary and has many versions, which is why a file from one tool sometimes opens wrong in another. This viewer reads FBX 7.0 and later, the versions every current tool exports.

To put an FBX model on a web page, in AR or on Shopify, convert it to GLB. To 3D print it, convert it to STL.

Your file never leaves your browser

This tool is JavaScript running on your own machine. Your file is read into memory, processed there, and gone when you close the tab. It is never sent to us, so there is no upload, no queue, no retention period, and no account to create. You can disconnect from the network after the page loads and it will still work.

Turn a single product photo into a realistic 3D model, usually in about 5 minutes. Explore it, view it in AR at real size, embed it, or export it to any of 7 formats. Make your first model for $2.

Upload a product photo

JPEG or PNG, up to 4 images, 18 MB each. We'll generate the angles.

Your first model is $2, refunded in full within 14 days if you do not like it. Try it with a sample photo

Frequently asked

How do I open an FBX file without Autodesk software?

Drop the .fbx on this page. It opens in your browser, with no FBX Review, Maya or Blender install and no Autodesk account. You can spin it, check its size, take a screenshot and view it in AR on a phone.

Why are my textures missing?

The FBX points to texture files on the author's disk instead of carrying them inside. A browser cannot read files beside the FBX, so the model shows untextured. Re-export with "Embed Media" turned on, or ask the sender to, and the textures appear.

Which FBX versions are supported?

Binary and ASCII FBX from version 7.0 (FBX 2011) onward, which covers files from any tool of the last ten years. Older files show a clear error. Open them in Blender and export again to fix that.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The FBX is read and rendered on your own machine. Nothing reaches our servers.

Does it play animations?

Yes. If the FBX carries animation, the first clip plays on a loop. To keep the animation in a format the web and game engines read directly, convert the FBX to GLB, which stores animation too.
