Convert your SVG file to SKP

Use our free and fast online tool to convert your SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) image or logo into 3D SKP (SketchUp) mesh/model files suitable for printing with a 3D printer or for loading into your favorite 3D editing package.

How to Convert your SVG to SKP Online?

Here are three simple steps to create an SKP file from a SVG file.

Upload a SVG

Click the "Upload a File" button and select SVG to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Select your Options

Set the dimensions and other options, and click the "Convert to SKP" button to convert your SVG to SKP.

Download your SKP

Click the download link once completed to receive your SKP file.

SVG to SKP Conversion Options

Tool

This setting allows you to specify how your SVG vector file is converted to an SKP 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.

Detail

The setting can be used to alter the detail of the final SKP 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.

Add Base

This setting, when given a height of more than zero, will instruct the tool to add a solid 3D base to the final SKP model. The selected unit of measurement specifies the height of the base.

Invert Output

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.

Units

This setting tells the tool how to size the final 3D model when using the settings below for Width, Height, and Depth settings.

Upload Color Overlay

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.

Color Conversion

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 SKP 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.

Merge Similar Colors

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.

Hole Reduction

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.

Transparency Conversion

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.

Enable Smoothing

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.

Z-Axis Mirror

With this option enabled, the tool will mirror the 3D geometry of the generated SKP model along the Z-axis.

Generate Preview

If you would like the tool to create a 3D preview of your model, then please select this option. It is on by default.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my SVG file to SKP?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your SVG file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the SVG to SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my SVG to SKP?

We aim to process all SVG to SKP conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the SVG to SKP conversion?

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.

Is it safe to convert my SVG to SKP on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the SVG file you submit to us. The resulting SKP file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Can I convert my SVG to SKP on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our SVG to SKP tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

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.

Can I get support with converting my SVG to SKP?

Yes. When you have converted your SVG to SKP, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.

File Format Information for SVG to SKP

TypeVector
Mime Typeimage/svg+xml

Description

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.

Description

The SKP 3D file format is the native file format used by SketchUp. The SketchUp application, which was released back in 2000 and is still going strong today, allows users to create detailed 3D graphics models.

SketchUp is popular amongst architectural designers, game developers, and other professionals and hobbyist users. The SKP format can be opened with the SketchUp application.

SKP Notes

Any model converted to the SKP format will be stored in a triangulated mesh format.

Supported Features

  • Polygon mesh
  • Face colors
