Share a 3D model online with a simple link

How do you share a 3D model online?

Prepare a web-ready GLB, upload it to a viewing platform, configure the scene and publish the model. Send the public URL for direct viewing. When the model belongs inside a website or CMS, place the dedicated embed URL in an accessible iframe.

A downloadable file is not a web viewer

Sending a raw GLB asks the recipient to download it, find compatible software and set up a useful camera. A web viewer provides a consistent presentation immediately. Keep the raw file option when the recipient needs to edit or archive the source asset.

From GLB to shareable URL

In DevXR, upload the GLB, wait until it is ready, adjust the presentation, publish and copy the URL. Publishing is separate from uploading. Open the final link while signed out and on a phone before sending it.

Client review, portfolios and sales presentations

A URL works for a visual review, interactive portfolio, product discussion or sales demo. It preserves interaction that a video removes. It does not add annotations, formal approval or project comments, so keep feedback in the workflow you already use.

Public URL, embed URL and iframe

The public URL is a standalone destination for email and messages. The embed URL is the technical source used in an iframe. The full snippet adds an accessible title, lazy loading, explicit permissions and a conservative referrer policy.

Viewing on mobile and XR limits

The viewer is responsive, while performance still depends on the GLB, browser and phone. XR is progressive: availability varies by secure context, browser, operating system and hardware. Always keep the standard 3D view as the baseline.

Publication and privacy

An uploaded model is not meant to become public until it is explicitly published. Once active, treat its public URL as shareable with anyone who receives it. `noindex` and an unguessable-looking link are not authentication. Unpublish content that should no longer be public.

Before you send the link

Check framing and naming, open the URL without your Studio session, test mobile loading and optimize the GLB. For embeds, also test dimensions, keyboard focus and the host website’s iframe policy.

PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION

The Aston Martin Vantage GTE demonstrates a public browser viewer. It is not presented as a client project, compression result or benchmark.

PUBLIC URL

Open or send the model

Use this address in an email, message or presentation.

https://viewer.devxr.fr/models/pub_XllEw1M91Pur5eg0xu8JcjDOMAPSNvgc

EMBED URL

Use as the iframe source

This technical address belongs in the iframe src attribute.

https://viewer.devxr.fr/embed/pub_XllEw1M91Pur5eg0xu8JcjDOMAPSNvgc

<iframe
  src="https://viewer.devxr.fr/embed/pub_XllEw1M91Pur5eg0xu8JcjDOMAPSNvgc"
  title="Aston Martin Vantage GTE"
  loading="lazy"
  allow="fullscreen; xr-spatial-tracking"
  allowfullscreen
  referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
></iframe>

src: Points to the dedicated embed view.
title: Names the interactive frame for assistive technology.
loading="lazy": Defers loading when the iframe starts off screen.
allow: Declares fullscreen and XR permissions; support still varies.
allowfullscreen: Keeps compatibility for fullscreen requests.
referrerpolicy: Limits referrer information on cross-origin requests.

Frequently asked questions

How can I send a 3D model to a client?

Publish the GLB in a web viewer and send its public URL. The client can open it in a compatible browser without installing creation software.

What is the difference between a public URL and an iframe?

The public URL is a standalone page. An iframe places the dedicated embed view inside another page.

Does the recipient need an account?

The public example is available without an account. A Studio account is used to manage and publish the model.

Can a 3D model be viewed on mobile?

Yes in a compatible browser, provided the asset fits the device’s resources. XR support varies by device and browser.
