 ## Draco compression
 
 The files exported by glue-ar can, in their original form, be quite large. In order to mitigate this problem, glue-ar allows using 
-[Draco compression](https://google.github.io/draco/) via the [gltf-pipeline](https://github.com/CesiumGS/gltf-pipeline) package. Using Draco compression
-allows for a considerable reduction in file size (often an order of magnitude or more), and Draco-compressed files can be read by model-viewer.
