Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your OBJ file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted OBJ file before this time.

Our 3D model OBJ to SKP tool will load your OBJ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my OBJ file to SKP?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your OBJ file to upload. Your OBJ file will be uploaded to our servers. When the OBJ to SKP conversion has completed, you can download your SKP file right away.

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

We aim to process all OBJ 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.

How accurate is the OBJ to SKP conversion?

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting OBJ to SKP work?

In order to successfully convert an OBJ formatted file to the SKP format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an OBJ file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. To make things more difficult when working with OBJ files is the fact the OBJ file extension is used for other file formats such as the X-Plane format.

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 OBJ files to the exact specification.

Take your OBJ file

The Wavefront OBJ file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making smaller OBJ files easy to edit in simple text editors. Larger 3D models quickly generate large text files making hand-editing them in a text editor unwise. Within this text-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces texture coordinates. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the OBJ file and remove any information that is 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 OBJ 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.

Convert the data from OBJ to SKP

Now that the data from the OBJ 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.

Save to the SKP format

At this point, the OBJ 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.

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.

As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular color, transparency, and much more.

The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.

OBJ Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our OBJ converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

Extension	SKP

Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

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 OBJ to SKP, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color or material information.

Information for converting from OBJ to SKP

Your OBJ file will be converted to a SKP file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our OBJ 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both OBJ and SKP support color material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the color information.
