Convert SKP Files Online (Free)
No upload, no signup, no software to install
Why Convert SKP Files?
SketchUp’s native SKP format requires SketchUp or a compatible viewer to open. By converting to a standard 3D format, you can share models with anyone — open them in Blender, Unity, 3ds Max, or any 3D tool without needing a SketchUp license.
Need a model for 3D printing? Export as STL. Sharing with a web viewer or AR app? GLB is the universal choice. Creating construction documents? Export a vector PDF of the current view.
How to Convert an SKP File
- 1
Open your SKP file
Click "Open an SKP File" above, or drag and drop your .skp file onto the converter.
- 2
Choose an output format
Click the "Export" button in the toolbar and select GLB, OBJ, STL, or PDF.
- 3
Download the converted file
Your file downloads instantly. The entire conversion runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Output Formats
GLB (glTF Binary)
The universal 3D exchange format. Open in Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, web-based viewers, AR/VR apps, and Google’s model viewer. Materials and colors are preserved.
OBJ (Wavefront)
One of the most widely supported 3D formats. Import into 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, Cinema 4D, MeshLab, or virtually any 3D application.
STL (Stereolithography)
The standard for 3D printing. Upload directly to your slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio) or a 3D printing service. Also used for CNC machining and FEA simulation.
PDF (Vector Drawing)
Export the current camera view as a clean vector PDF with crisp lines at any zoom. Includes solid, wireframe, and blueprint render modes. Ideal for presentations, submittals, and print.
Features
SKP to GLB
Export as glTF binary — the universal 3D format for Blender, Unity, web viewers, and AR/VR apps.
SKP to OBJ
Save as Wavefront OBJ for use in 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, Cinema 4D, and other modeling tools.
SKP to STL
Export a triangulated mesh ready for 3D printing, CNC machining, or FEA simulation.
SKP to PDF
Save the current view as a clean vector PDF — ideal for presentations and construction documents.
No Upload Required
Your file is parsed and converted entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
V8 to V25+ Support
Supports SketchUp files from version 8 (2010) through the latest releases.
Material Colors
Converted files preserve SketchUp material colors from the 3D scene.
Free, No Signup
No account, no watermark, no file size limits. Convert as many files as you need.
Drag & Drop
Drop an SKP file anywhere on the converter to load it instantly.
Works Everywhere
Desktop and mobile browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. No plugin needed.
Supported SketchUp Versions
If your converted model looks incomplete, try re-saving in SketchUp 2021 or later. Just want to view without converting? Use our free SKP Viewer.
Your Files Stay on Your Computer
Both parsing and conversion run entirely in your browser using a custom-built JavaScript parser. Your SKP file is never uploaded to any server — not for viewing, not for conversion. The exported GLB, OBJ, STL, and PDF files are generated locally and downloaded directly to your device.
If Your SKP File Doesn’t Convert
This converter supports SketchUp files from V8 through the latest versions. If your file doesn’t open or the output looks incomplete:
- 1Re-save in SketchUp 2021+ — The newer VFF/ZIP format uses a more structured binary layout that typically converts better.
- 2Check the file extension — Make sure your file is actually a
.skpfile. - 3Try on a desktop browser — Large models work best in Chrome or Firefox on desktop.
Frequently Asked Questions
▶What formats can I convert an SKP file to?
You can convert SKP files to four formats: GLB (glTF binary for Blender, Unity, web viewers, and AR/VR), OBJ (Wavefront for 3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, Cinema 4D), STL (for 3D printing and CNC), and PDF (vector drawing for documentation and print).
▶How do I convert an SKP file to GLB?
Open your SKP file by clicking “Open an SKP File” or dragging it onto the converter. Once the model loads, click the Export button in the toolbar and select .glb. The converted GLB file downloads instantly — no server processing required.
▶How do I convert an SKP file to OBJ?
Open your SKP file, then click Export → .obj in the toolbar. The OBJ file is generated in your browser and downloaded directly. OBJ is a simple text-based format supported by virtually every 3D modeling application.
▶How do I convert an SKP file to STL for 3D printing?
Open your SKP file, then click Export → .stl. The binary STL file downloads immediately and can be opened in any slicer software (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio) or uploaded to a 3D printing service. Note that STL does not include colors or materials — only geometry.
▶Is the SKP conversion accurate?
The converter exports all visible face geometry with material colors from the 3D scene. The output will match what you see in the viewer. For best results, verify the model looks correct before exporting. Component instances are expanded, and textures are included where supported.
▶Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All parsing and conversion happens entirely in your browser using a pure JavaScript parser. Your SKP files never leave your computer — nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted. The converted files are generated locally and downloaded directly.
▶What SketchUp versions are supported?
This converter supports SketchUp files from version 8 (2010) through the latest SketchUp 2025+ releases. V8–V20 files use the legacy MFC format; V21+ files use the newer VFF/ZIP container. Both are fully supported.
▶Which export format should I choose?
GLB is the best all-around choice — it preserves materials and is supported by Blender, Unity, web viewers, and AR/VR apps.
OBJ is widely supported by professional 3D tools (3ds Max, Maya, Rhino, Cinema 4D).
STL is the standard for 3D printing — upload directly to your slicer.
PDF exports the current view as a vector drawing for documentation.
▶Do I need SketchUp installed to convert?
No. This converter runs entirely in your web browser. No SketchUp license, no plugins, and no software installation required.
▶Does this work on Mac, iPad, or phone?
Yes. The converter works on any device with a modern web browser and WebGL support, including macOS (Safari, Chrome, Firefox), iPad, iPhone, and Android devices.
