glTF
A royalty-free specification for efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models across applications.
What is glTF?
glTF (GL Transmission Format) is an open, royalty-free specification for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by applications. It minimizes asset size and runtime processing, solving the problem of fragmented 3D formats and enabling seamless interoperability across tools, engines, and platforms.
Developers, artists, and engineers working with 3D content in applications such as games, web visualization, augmented/virtual reality, and 3D commerce who need a standardized, performant asset format.
Developers choose glTF because it is a vendor-neutral, widely adopted standard that reduces pipeline complexity, ensures consistent rendering across platforms, and is supported by major engines and tools, making it the de facto format for modern 3D delivery.
