Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model SKP Files to WRL

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or SKP (SketchUp) model files to a standard WRL (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple SKP files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your SKP file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a WRL file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the SKP to WRL conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

How to Convert your SKP to WRL Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your SKP to WRL.

Upload a SKP

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

Download your WRL

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my SKP file to WRL?

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

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

We aim to process all SKP to WRL 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 SKP to WRL 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 SKP to WRL on ImageToStl.com?

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

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

Yes! Our SKP to WRL 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 SKP 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.

I have several SKP files; can I batch convert my SKP to WRL?

Yes! Our SKP tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and SKP files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the WRL files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

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

Our tool will export only polygon mesh data along with color information. Curved surfaces and textures are not supported and will be ignored.

Description

The WRL file format is a 3D-based model format originally created in the 1990's that was aimed at website usage. The format is text-based and contains 3D geometry data such as vertices, faces, simple shapes, material information, and more.

This format, when launched, was hoped to become a standard 3D format; however, due to the large file sizes, it didn't see wide adoption, although it is a supported format within some CAD software applications. It was later superseded by the X3D file format, which shares most of the functionality of WRL files.

WRL Notes

WRL files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the WRL file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Mesh material colors
  • Vertex colors

Unsupported Features

  • Textures

How does it work?

Converting from the SKP file format to WRL can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your SKP file to a valid WRL 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source SKP File

In its simplest form, an SKP file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.

For more information regarding the SKP file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the SKP format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the SKP file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the WRL format.

Step 3: Saving to the WRL Format

With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the WRL format.
