Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or SKP (SketchUp) model files to a standard X3D (Extensible 3D Graphics) 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 X3D file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the SKP to X3D conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

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

The X3D file format was introduced in 2002 as a successor to the 3D VRML (WRL) file format. X3D files contain 3D mesh and model information defined using vertices, faces, normals, and material data, making them broadly as capable as the older VRML format.
X3D files are structured XML text-based files that allow full 3D scenes to contain models comprised of 3D mesh data and other simple shapes. There are browser extensions that allow X3D files to be directly embedded within HTML to allow rendering directly to a web page; however, the format has not seen widespread adoption.
X3D files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the X3D file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.
Converting from the SKP file format to X3D 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 X3D 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:
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.
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 X3D 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 X3D format.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your SKP file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the SKP to X3D conversion has completed, you can download your X3D file straight away.
We aim to process all SKP to X3D 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 SKP file you submit to us. The resulting X3D file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your SKP file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted X3D file quickly.
Yes! Our SKP to X3D 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 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.
Yes. When you have converted your SKP to X3D, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
