Free FBX Viewer Online

How to view an FBX file

Drop the FBX file on the viewer above, or choose it from your device. The model opens in a moment and fills the frame.

Drag to orbit around your FBX model, and scroll or pinch to zoom. The Corner, Front, Side, and Top buttons jump to a standard view.

Shaded shows the colors and embedded pictures from the file. If the pictures are saved outside the FBX, the model shows plain.

Checking an FBX from a game or animation tool

FBX files from game and animation tools are often made in centimeters, and the file says so in its settings. The viewer shows that unit beside the size, so a person that reads 180 cm is about 1.8 meters tall. Check it before you move the model into another app.

One FBX can hold many parts: a body, clothes, props, and more. Turn the model around to check that none are missing or placed oddly.

The triangle count adds up every mesh in the file. A character can hold more triangles than it seems, because hands, hair, and clothing are often separate meshes.

If you need the model in a format that a web page or an AR app can load, the FBX to GLB converter on this site keeps shapes, colors, textures, and animation.

What the numbers mean

The triangle count shows how detailed the surface is. More triangles mean more work for the device that draws the model, so a model that turns slowly may need a lighter export.

The size is the width, height, and depth of the box around the model. An FBX states its unit in its settings, and the viewer shows the size in that unit without converting it. If the file sets none, or one the viewer does not list, the size is shown as plain numbers.

Fixing common problems

Very old FBX versions may not open. Export the file again with a newer FBX version.

If your FBX model looks plain, its colors or pictures may be stored in separate files. This viewer opens one file at a time and draws only what the file holds.

Files over 150 MB are not opened. Export just the part you need.

If you see a message about 3D, your browser may have WebGL turned off. Try another browser, or turn on hardware acceleration in the browser settings.

Your file stays on your device

The viewer reads your FBX file in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, and the page does not load anything the file points to. The page counts a visit like any other page, but it never sees the file's name or contents.

From a viewer to a finished render

A viewer shows you the model. A render shows you how it could look built. The Inkfinish studio opens FBX files too, lets you pick the angle, and turns that view into a finished image from a short description of materials and light.
