GLB files are the binary equivalent of the GLTF 3D file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group. GLB files are designed to be an open and expandable 3D format that can store 3D graphics and their assets, such as textures, animations, and more.
The content of a GLB file is binary and enables highly efficient storage and transmission of 3D data. This efficiency of size, along with its ability to store all the associated assets in the same file, has made GLB files one of the preferred formats for use within 3D web content and other applications.
Due to their open format, GLB files are widely supported by 3D editing software. The format has gained traction amongst videogame developers and other 3D artists as a primary means of exchanging 3D data between different applications.

The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modeling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modeling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.
The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.
Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.
