You can use our SKP to 3DS conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 100 files at one time, and our batch SKP to 3DS converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 100 files can be uploaded at once.

Convert all files to:

Please note: Your SKP file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted immediately after it is converted. Your converted file will be deleted 4 hours after upload, so please download it before this time.

Our 3D model SKP to 3DS tool will load your SKP 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 SKP file to 3DS?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your SKP file to upload. Your SKP file will be uploaded to our servers. When the SKP to 3DS conversion has completed, you can download your 3DS file right away.

How long does it take to convert my SKP to 3DS?

We aim to process all SKP to 3DS 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 SKP to 3DS 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 SKP to 3DS work?

In order to successfully convert an SKP formatted file to the 3DS format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an SKP 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 SKP files to the exact specification.

Take your SKP file

An SKP file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the SKP file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated 3DS file size is smaller.

Convert the data from SKP to 3DS

Now that the data from the SKP 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 3DS file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the 3DS format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the 3DS format

At this point, the SKP to 3DS conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the 3DS format. Our tool creates the 3DS file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the 3DS file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible 3DS file editors.

File format information for SKP and 3DS

Extension	SKP
Full Name	SketchUp
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

A SKP file is the native file format for the popular SketchUp 3D modelling 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 modelling 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 3D model or mesh files using our SKP converter, we will attempt to convert colour materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

Extension	3DS
Full Name	3D Studio Mesh
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary
Opens With	MeshLab

A 3DS file is a legacy 3D graphics format originally created for use with the 3D Studio software. Although widely supported at the time, 3DS files have fallen in popularity and have been replaced as the 3D format of choice by more capable formats.

There are considerable limitations when working with 3DS files. One major limitation is the format's use of 16-bit values, which limit the total number of vertices and faces to 65536. This number was plenty large enough when the format was created in the early 1990s but has since become a limiting factor with modern 3D models containing millions of vertices and polygons.

Despite its limitations, a significant number of 3DS models still exist, and there are many 3D modelling packages out there that offer support for importing these files.

Information for converting from SKP to 3DS

Your SKP file will be converted to a 3DS file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our SKP 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As SKP supports colour materials and 3DS does not, our tool will not attempt to transfer any colour information; your final 3D model will contain geometry data only.
