You can use our DAE to SKP conversion tool to quickly convert your 3D model (with optional texture files) for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch DAE to SKP converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Our 3D model DAE to SKP tool will load your DAE file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.
Here are two simple steps to convert your DAE to SKP using our fast and free DAE converter tool.
First, click the "Upload..." button and select your DAE file to upload. Your DAE file will be uploaded to our servers. When the DAE to SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file right away.
We aim to process all DAE to SKP conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.
In order to successfully convert an DAE formatted file to the SKP format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an DAE file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create DAE files to the exact specification.
The DAE file format is an Xml-based format, meaning its contents are structured and human-readable, making smaller DAE files easy to edit in simple text editors. Within this Xml-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D scene, including camera positions, lighting configuration, 3D models, vertices, faces, animations, and more. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the DAE file and remove any information that may be duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated SKP file size is smaller.
As the SKP file format does not support material textures, our tool when processing the DAE file will ignore any texture image files that may be present. It will also ignore any texture coordinate information present in the 3D model data.
Now that the data from the DAE file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final SKP file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the SKP format and removing any data that cannot be represented.
At this point, the DAE to SKP conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the SKP format. Our tool creates the SKP file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the SKP file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible SKP file editors.

A DAE file, also known as a Collada file, was developed by the Khronos Group as an open standard format for representing 3D models and their associated data in a manner that is both extensible and compatible with other 3D modeling applications.
The extensibility of the DAE format comes from the fact that content is stored within an XML structure, allowing the 3D model geometry to be stored along with texture and material information, as well as animations. As it is an extensible format, new features can be added relatively easily without impacting compatibility.
As mentioned, the DAE format was designed to be an open format, standardized to allow any 3D modeling application to easily implement support for DAE files. Popular 3D modeling apps such as Blender offer support for the DAE format out of the box.
DAE Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our DAE converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

A SKP file is the native file format for the popular SketchUp 3D modeling application. SketchUp is a growing platform, popular with industrial architechs and 3D design enthusiasts alike who like the ease with which complex 3D models can be produced.
The SKP format is capable of storing complex 3D models and their associated geometric data, such as vertices, edges, faces, materials, and much more. The format is well supported, and it receives updates containing new features on a regular basis.
Due to its popularity, the SKP format is supported by many 3D modeling applications via an import option, and where an import option may be missing, our own SKP conversion tools can convert to and from the most popular 3D formats.
SKP Converter Capabilities
When converting your DAE to SKP, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.
Your DAE file will be converted to a SKP file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our DAE 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both DAE and SKP support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
