Browser-local workflow

How this tool works

  1. Step 1

    VOX

    Choose a VOX file from this device.

  2. Step 2

    Browser-local conversion

    The supported geometry is converted in this browser.

  3. Step 3

    GLTF

    Download the GLTF result when conversion is complete.

Preserved

  • Geometry
  • Vertex colors

Limited

  • Scene hierarchy

Lost

  • Units and scale

Direct answer

What is preserved when converting VOX to GLTF?

This converter processes the VOX file locally in your browser and downloads the converted GLTF file. Geometry and vertex colors are retained by the current loader and writer. Scene hierarchy uses a supported subset. Units and scale is not included in the downloaded file.

Before you convert

VOX to GLTF compatibility

These results describe Modelfy's current browser loader and exporter, not every feature allowed by the file specifications.

Units and scaleNot exportedThe VOX format can contain this data, but the current single-file loader does not retain it for conversion.

Verify after export

  • Confirm scale and units when opening the glTF file in the destination application.

Why choose this VOX to GLTF converter

Local VOX decoding

The selected VOX model file is decoded and rewritten as GLTF on your device; the model file is not uploaded to Modelfy.

VOX to GLTF data report

The compatibility table identifies geometry, vertex colors as preserved by this loader and writer.

GLTF output checks

Scene hierarchy is limited; review the implementation detail and verify the downloaded file in your destination tool.

Preview before export

Inspect the browser preview before converting, then use the post-export checklist to confirm the GLTF result.

How to convert VOX to GLTF online

  1. 01

    Upload your VOX file

    Drag and drop the file into the converter, or click Upload. VOX inputs up to 25 MB are processed locally.

  2. 02

    Convert to GLTF

    Preview the model in 3D, then click Convert. The conversion runs locally in the browser; processing time depends on model complexity and device resources.

  3. 03

    Download the GLTF file

    Your GLTF file downloads straight to your device, ready for the next tool in your pipeline.

About the VOX file format

MagicaVoxel

The .vox format stores models as a grid of colored voxels plus a palette. It is the native format of MagicaVoxel, the most popular free voxel editor, used widely for stylized game art.

When converted to mesh formats, each voxel becomes cube geometry with its palette color preserved as vertex colors.

Format reference: MagicaVoxel VOX format description

Strengths

  • Compact voxel grid encoding
  • Palette colors preserved
  • Perfect for stylized game art

Commonly used for

  • Voxel art and stylized games
  • MagicaVoxel project exchange
  • Voxel-to-mesh conversion

About the GLTF file format

GL Transmission Format

glTF 2.0 is a royalty-free specification from the Khronos Group for efficient transmission of 3D scenes. The .gltf variant stores the scene description as readable JSON, optionally referencing external binary buffers and textures.

It is the most widely supported runtime format on the web: three.js, Babylon.js, Unity, Unreal, and most DCC tools read and write glTF directly.

Format reference: Khronos glTF 2.0 specification

Strengths

  • Open standard with wide industry support
  • Human-readable JSON scene description
  • PBR materials, skins, and animations

Commonly used for

  • Web 3D and e-commerce viewers
  • Cross-tool scene exchange
  • Runtime asset delivery

Frequently asked questions

Is my VOX model file uploaded to a server?

The selected VOX model file is processed by the browser and is not uploaded to Modelfy. Website code and static assets still load over the network like a normal web page.

Will I lose quality converting VOX to GLTF?

Mesh geometry is preserved as closely as the GLTF format allows. The target format may triangulate geometry or drop unsupported features such as animations, materials, textures, or scene hierarchy.

Is the VOX to GLTF converter free to use?

Yes. The browser viewer, converter, and local 3D text tool require no account and add no watermark. Input limits vary by format, up to 50 MB; AI model generation is a separate credit-based product.

What is the maximum file size?

VOX inputs up to 25 MB are accepted. The format-specific limit keeps browser-local parsing bounded; actual processing also depends on available memory, model complexity, and device performance.

How are voxels turned into a 3D mesh?

Each solid voxel is meshed as cube faces with its palette color stored as vertex colors, so the converted GLB/OBJ keeps the voxel look. Interior faces between neighboring voxels are removed to keep the mesh lean.

Does the browser tool support .gltf files with external buffers?

Self-contained .gltf files (embedded buffers and textures) work best, because the browser only receives the single file you upload. If your .gltf references external .bin or texture files, export it as .glb first.

AI 3D generation

From a single image to a production-ready 3D model

These browser tools stay free for viewing and converting files you already have. When the model does not exist yet, Modelfy generates a textured mesh from one reference image — the first one is free.
