Have a model in the wrong format? The FBX to VRM converter and GLB to VRM converter turn rigged models into files these apps load — and the VRM viewer checks any file before you stream with it.
FAQ
What software do VTubers use?
Most 3D VTubers run a free tracking app — VSeeFace, Warudo, VNyan, 3tene or VMagicMirror — that animates a VRM avatar from a webcam, plus OBS Studio to capture the result for streaming. 2D VTubers use VTube Studio with Live2D models.
What's the best free VTuber software?
VSeeFace for straightforward webcam tracking, Warudo if you want hand and full-body tracking, VNyan if your stream leans on Twitch integrations. All three are free and load the same standard VRM file, so you can switch apps without changing your avatar.
Does VTube Studio work with VRM models?
No — VTube Studio is Live2D-only and does not load VRM files. For a 3D VRM avatar use VSeeFace, Warudo, 3tene, VNyan or VMagicMirror instead.
Do all these apps use the same avatar file?
Yes — every app on this page loads the open VRM format (VR platforms like VRChat take the same rigged model through their upload pipelines). One avatar file works everywhere, which is why we export standard VRM.
Where do I get a VRM avatar for these apps?
Generate a photorealistic one from a selfie with VTubeMe in minutes, build an anime-style one in VRoid Studio, or download a free VRM from our gallery to test your setup first.
