Use our free and fast online tool to convert your SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image or logo into 3D DAE (COLLADA - Collaborative Design Activity) mesh/model files suitable for printing with a 3D printer or for loading into your favorite 3D editing package.
Here are three simple steps to create an DAE file from a SVG file.
This setting allows you to specify how your SVG vector file is converted to an DAE model. The Extrude options will extrude your vector file into 3D space, while the Standard options will apply a heightmap process to your SVG file.
The setting can be used to alter the detail of the final DAE model that is created. The default setting of Medium works well for most Extrude and Heightmap conversions, with the High setting recommended for highly detailed SVG vector files.
This setting, when given a height of more than zero, will instruct the tool to add a solid 3D base to the final DAE model. The selected unit of measurement specifies the height of the base.
When the Invert Output option is checked, the pixel brightness is reversed, i.e., black becomes white and white becomes black, resulting in a 3D model that is reversed.
This setting tells the tool how to size the final 3D model when using the settings below for Width, Height, and Depth settings.
When using either the Color Extrude or Heightmap options within the Tool menu, you can optionally upload a separate image that can be used to colorize your 3D model.
This setting instructs the tool on how to interpret the color information of the elements in your SVG vector file, thereby influencing the creation of the 3D DAE model. The grayscale option is most commonly used when working with heightmaps, unless you are dealing with specific requirements that necessitate the use of color.
Use this value to merge similar colors; this is useful if your vector file is of low quality. A higher number can help reduce the effects of anti-aliasing in the SVG file.
With this setting, it is possible to reduce the inclusion of small holes within the 3D model caused by small, darker areas of the source SVG file, which can be useful in situations where the source image has not been optimized for use with the tool.
When your SVG file has a transparent background, this option can instruct the tool on how to treat the transparency, with the transparency converted to either black or white.
When this setting is enabled, the conversion tool will attempt to smooth out any "spikes" within the 3D model that are caused by contrasting pixels in the vector file being in close proximity to one another.
With this option enabled, the tool will mirror the 3D geometry of the generated DAE model along the Z-axis.
If you would like the tool to create a 3D preview of your model, then please select this option. It is on by default.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your SVG file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the SVG to DAE conversion has completed, you can download your DAE file straight away.
We aim to process all SVG to DAE conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the SVG file you submit to us. The resulting DAE file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
Yes! Our SVG to DAE tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our SVG conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your SVG to DAE, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
Yes! If your SVG file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final DAE file.

Introduced by the W3C organization in 2001, the SVG file format grew to become the standard web file format for vector-based 2D images and is supported by the majority of modern web browsers. SVG files are XML-based text files containing 2D vector elements such as paths, simple shapes, colors, and more.
The SVG format itself, while primarily a vector format, can include raster images as well as text. Due to their vector-based format, SVG files lend themselves very well to website company logos and icons. A compressed format of SVG also exists, which uses the extension SVGZ and employs the GZIP compression algorithm.

The DAE format (also known as COLLADA) is a 3D file format used to describe 3D models, meshes, and 3D worlds using a simple text-based structure. The format was introduced in 2004 by Sony Computer Entertainment and is currently managed by the Khronos Group.
DAE files are a text/XML-based file format containing 3D geometric information used to describe 3D objects and meshes such as vertices, faces, animations, materials, camera/lighting elements, and other related metadata. The format has widespread usage and support, with applications such as Blender and MeshLab being able to read and write to it.
Our tool will save any texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final DAE file at the time of download.
