About this conversion
Easily convert your XGL 3D models to the widely compatible GLTF format with Convert2.co. XGL (Extensible Graphics Language) is a powerful, though less common, file format for representing 3D graphics. GLTF (Graphics Language Transmission Format), on the other hand, is the modern standard for efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models, especially for web and real-time applications. Our XGL to GLTF converter ensures your 3D assets are accessible across various platforms, from game engines and AR/VR experiences to web viewers. Experience seamless conversion and unlock the potential of your 3D designs. Whether you're a game developer, 3D artist, or designer, this tool simplifies the process of making your XGL models ready for modern workflows.

XGL
XGL (Extensible Graphics Language) is an XML-based file format designed for representing 3D graphics data. Developed by Discreet Logic (later acquired by Autodesk), it supports complex scene descriptions, including geometry, materials, lighting, and animation. XGL files can store data in a human-readable or binary format, offering flexibility in data representation. While it was intended for interoperability, its adoption has been limited compared to more prevalent 3D formats.
GLTF
GLTF (Graphics Language Transmission Format), often referred to as the 'JPEG of 3D', is an open standard designed for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models. Developed by the Khronos Group, it supports PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, animations, and skeletal structures. GLTF is optimized for real-time applications, making it ideal for web, mobile, AR/VR, and game development due to its compact file size and fast loading times.
Why Convert XGL → GLTF?
Converting XGL to GLTF is crucial for modern 3D workflows. While XGL can store detailed 3D information, GLTF is the industry standard for web-based 3D experiences, augmented reality, virtual reality, and game engines. GLTF's efficient design ensures faster loading times and better performance across devices and platforms. If you have legacy 3D assets in XGL format, converting them to GLTF makes them accessible to a wider range of applications and audiences, unlocking their potential for interactive online viewing, game integration, or AR/VR applications without compatibility issues.
XGL vs GLTF
XGL and GLTF serve distinct purposes in the 3D ecosystem. XGL is an older, XML-based format that can hold extensive 3D scene data, but it lacks widespread support in modern real-time applications. Its primary advantage is its extensibility. GLTF, conversely, is a modern, highly optimized format specifically designed for efficient transmission and loading of 3D assets on the web and in real-time engines. GLTF's advantages lie in its compact file size, PBR material support, and broad compatibility with web viewers, AR/VR platforms, and game engines, making it the preferred choice for current 3D development.
