Free Online FBX to GIF Converter

Our FBX to GIF converter will take the 3D model contained within your FBX file and create a simple animated video file that will be saved to the GIF format. As the FBX format supports animations, if your FBX file contains any built-in animations, then our converter will select the first animation and use this when creating the GIF file. You may upload up to 20 files at one time and have them batch converted to the GIF format.

Select File(s)

Drag and drop your files here to upload or click the button above.
A maximum of 20 files can be converted at once.

Please note: Your FBX file file, when uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload. Please download your converted FBX file file before this time.

To get started, click the "Select File" button; this will open up a file browser with which you can select your FBX files from your local device. Once selected, you can click the "Convert" button to have our tool convert them to the GIF format.

File information for FBX and GIF

Full Name	Autodesk Filmbox
Extension	FBX
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Text

The FBX format, which is short for Filmbox, is a 3D modeling format developed by Autodesk with the aim of making it an open and easy-to-use way to distribute 3D models. The format started out in the mid-1990s and quickly gained traction, with its development continuing to this day.

Along with compatibility with Autodesk's Maya and 3Ds Max applications, FBX files have gained support with other 3D model editors, including Blender.

Mesh Geometry

An FBX file is composed of 3D mesh data, including vertices, faces, normals, textures, and animations, in a text and binary format to produce a portable file that is both easy to develop and compact and efficient as a medium for the distribution of models and full 3D scenes.

FBX Converter Capabilities

As materials containing texture and color information are both supported by the FBX format, our tool will do its best to include these materials, including any texture files, in the converted file.

Full Name	Graphics Interchange Format
Extension	GIF
Type	Image
Mime Type	image/gif
Format	Binary

GIF files are a popular image format on the internet and are a common format used in the distribution of internet memes. GIF files have been around since the dawn of the internet and were designed to offer high-resolution image capabilities within a small file size.

Due to their ability to be used as an animation format, GIF files have become particularly popular as the format of choice for distributing internet memes. Their lack of full 24-bit color support has, however, seen the PNG format used in preference to GIF for many applications.

Uses

GIF files are particularly useful for storing animation sequences, and this is one of the main reasons for the format's popularity. In the early days of the internet, the use of GIF files to store photographic images and other web assets declined in favor of more modern formats such as JPG and PNG.
