Free Online JPG to DAE Converter

With our JPG to DAE converter, you can effortlessly convert your JPG image file into a 3D heightmap model, which can then be loaded into your favourite 3D editing software. Our image to DAE tool can batch convert up to 20 JPG files at one time and quickly turn them into 3D models.

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 JPG file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted JPG file before this time.

Our JPG to DAE image conversion tool comes with a set of options allowing you to fine-tune the details of how the 3D model is generated. Once you have selected a file, you will see a button, which you can click to reveal adjustable properties such as whether the tool should use a Heightmap or Extrude algorithm to create the 3D model. There are also properties to control the size and detail of the model.

How long does it take to convert my JPG to DAE?

We aim to process all JPG to DAE 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 JPG to DAE 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 is the 3D model generated from my JPG image?

Our tool uses a Heightmap process whereby the DAE 3D model is created based on the luminosity of the individual pixels in your JPG image.

Is there a limit to the size of my image?

Yes, to ensure our tool converts the JPG image quickly and with a reasonable final file size, your tool will resize any image larger than 600x600 pixels.

A JPG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.

The compression used by JPG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colours that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this colour data greatly reduces the size of the final JPG file with no discernible loss in quality.

Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.

Extension	DAE
Full Name	COLLADA - Collaborative Design Activity
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	text/xml

Opens With	Blender, MeshLab

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 modelling 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 modelling application to easily implement support for DAE files. Popular 3D modelling apps such as Blender offer support for the DAE format out of the box.

Information for converting from JPG to DAE

Our JPG converter will convert your JPG file to a 3D model using the Heightmap process, whereby 2D pixels, based on their luminosity, are converted into 3D space to create a full 3D DAE model ready for download for further processing in your favourite 3D editing package or for printing on a 3D printer.
