Best FiveM tools / Checked October 2026

Best GTA 5 mod to FiveM vehicle converters in 2026.

The short answer

To turn a GTA5-Mods car into a FiveM resource, try Rivo's mod converter, gta5modsconvertor.com or ZeroDream's online converter: each hands back a resource folder with an fxmanifest.lua. To make a car from a 3D model, Rivo's vehicle converter and FiveForge build the vehicle files. OpenIV and Sollumz suit doing it by hand.

How we picked

We looked at two jobs: converting an existing singleplayer car mod into a FiveM resource, and building a FiveM vehicle from a 3D model. We read each tool's own pages for inputs, outputs and prices. Tools are listed in no ranked order. Prices and features change, so check each site before you pay.

Disclosure

Rivo makes one of the tools on this list, marked "Ours". We described the others from their own sites, checked in October 2026, and we have no deal with any of them.

  1. Rivo mod converter and vehicle converterOurs

    The mod converter takes a GTA5-Mods link or a mod archive and returns a resource with the stream files sorted and the meta declared in fxmanifest.lua; it handles add-on and replace vehicles, peds, weapons and props. The separate vehicle converter builds a drivable car from an FBX, GLB or glTF model, with its .yft, .ytd and vehicles, handling and carvariations meta.

  2. gta5modsconvertor.com

    Paste the page link of a vehicle mod from gta5-mods.com and it extracts the models, textures and meta, unpacks nested dlc.rpf archives and writes the fxmanifest.lua. Add-on mods come back with a stream folder, meta files and a vehicle_names.lua. It does not take uploaded files, and custom engine sound packs are not carried over.
