Free Online WRL to DAE Converter

You can use our WRL to DAE conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch WRL to DAE 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 20 files can be uploaded at once.

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

Our 3D model WRL to DAE tool will load your WRL 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 WRL file to DAE?

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

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

We aim to process all WRL 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 WRL 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 does converting WRL to DAE work?

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

Take your WRL file

The WRL file format is a text-based format, meaning its contents are human-readable, making WRL files easy to edit in simple text editors. Within this text-based format are the core elements that make up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, and more. To ensure efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the WRL file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated DAE file size is smaller.

Convert the data from WRL to DAE

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

Save to the DAE format

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

File format information for WRL and DAE

Extension	WRL
Full Name	Virtual Reality Modeling Language
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	model/vrml x-world/x-vrml application/x-cc3d
Format	Text
Opens With	MeshLab

The WRL (or VRML) file format is used to store 3D models and their environments in a simple-to-edit, plain text format. The WRL format has been around since the 1990s and has gained widespread support as a convenient 3D graphics format.

The 3D data is stored within the file in a hierarchical format, allowing 3D objects to be grouped and manipulated together. The format also allows 3D objects to be assigned unique IDs, allowing them to be referenced elsewhere in the same document, allowing the same 3D model to be used multiple times while only defining its vertices, faces, and other 3D data once.

While the format still enjoys support within many 3D editing applications, the WRL format has been officially superseded by the XML-based X3D format, which comes with more features and, with its use of the standard XML format, more support amongst 3D modelling applications.

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

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

When converting your WRL to DAE, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any colour or material information.

Information for converting from WRL to DAE

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