Compression

Presets

Low, Medium, and High compression

Start with a preset. Only open Advanced if the result looks wrong or you know exactly what you need to change.

Compression preset choices for Low, Medium, and High

The preset names describe compression strength, not file quality.

PresetUse whenWhat it changes
LowYou need the safest visual result.Uses lighter quantization, keeps larger textures, and does not reorder mesh data.
MediumYou want the normal first try.Uses balanced geometry settings and resizes large textures to 2048px.
HighYou need a smaller file for upload, sharing, or mobile.Uses stronger quantization, texture quality 70%, and resizes large textures to 1024px.

If the preset is too aggressive

Use a lighter preset first.

If that still changes too much:

  • Raise Position if edges, holes, or CAD details moved.
  • Raise Normal if lighting looks faceted.
  • Raise Texture Quality or Max Resolution if textures look blurry.
  • Disable Reorder for size if another app stops opening the GLB.
