About the GLTF format

A .gltf file is JSON text that describes meshes, materials and animation. The geometry is usually in a separate .bin file and the textures in image files, though some exporters embed everything in the .gltf itself. GLB is the same model packed into one file.

Convert.Online converts a .gltf file only when its data is embedded; one that refers to a separate .bin cannot be converted alone, and is best exported as GLB instead. glTF is read here, not written: for a single-file glTF model, convert to GLB.
