Record any GLB or glTF animation — to GIF, WebM or PNG
The GLB Animation Studio opens .glb and .gltffiles right in your browser and turns their animations into shareable clips. Preview every embedded motion, frame it for where it's going, and record a WebM, GIF or transparent PNG. Your model is read locally — nothing is uploaded.
How to record a GLB animation
- Drag a .glb or .gltf file onto the page, or click Open file.
- Pick an animation, and set the playback speed.
- Choose a background — Transparent for overlays or Greenback for keying.
- Pick a format — 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 — and a length.
- Hit WebM or GIF to record, or PNG for a still.
Great for game devs, streamers and creators
Make a preview GIF of a model you exported from Blender, capture an animated asset for a store listing, grab a transparent clip for an overlay, or turn a character's idle/walk/wave into short-form video — without opening a heavy 3D tool.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a GLB animation into a GIF or video?
Drag a .glb or .gltf file onto the page, pick the animation, choose a background and a format (9:16, 1:1 or 16:9), then record. You get a WebM or GIF file — or a transparent PNG still.
Can I record on a transparent or green-screen background?
Yes. Transparent keeps true alpha (great for WebM and PNG overlays), and Greenback gives a clean key colour that removes in any video editor.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The model is read and rendered locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so your files stay private on your device.
What can I record, and what needs a plan?
Loading and previewing any GLB's animations is free. Recording to WebM, GIF and PNG is a Plus feature.
I don't have a GLB — can I make one?
Yes. Build a cute rigged 3D character in the Halcyone Character Maker and it comes with animations baked in, ready to stage and record.
