SketchUp 3D Model - SKP File Format
The SKP file format is the native 3D model format for SketchUp, originally developed by Google and now maintained by Trimble. Known for its simplicity and powerful modeling capabilities, SKP files are widely used in architecture, interior design, engineering, and product design for creating detailed 3D models quickly and efficiently.
Key Features and Advantages of SKP Files
- Comprehensive 3D Data: SKP files store reusable components, grouped meshes, layers, scenes, and textured materials, enabling streamlined modeling workflows and faster project development across architectural and engineering disciplines.
- Version-Specific Requirements: SketchUp files vary by version. For instance, SKP files from version 2016 and newer require a Win64 build for compatibility, while older files can be opened with Win32 builds. Understanding SKP version differences is crucial for smooth file sharing and project collaboration.
- Scalability and Performance: Whether modeling small furniture pieces or large urban environments, SKP files scale efficiently. SketchUp optimizations ensure that even large, highly detailed scenes maintain fast, responsive performance.

Need to convert SketchUp files across different versions? Our Autoconverter software offers a seamless solution. Autoconverter can accurately convert SKP files from SketchUp 3 up to SketchUp 2025, allowing easy collaboration across different SketchUp releases.
Additionally, Autoconverter supports converting SKP files to DWG, OBJ, STL, and many other formats, ensuring maximum compatibility with various CAD and 3D modeling platforms. Start your free trial today and experience fast, reliable SKP file conversion with no loss of quality!
GLTF and GLB 3D File Format
The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files
- GLTF Versions:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
- GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
- ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
- Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.
Convert GLTF and GLB Files
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
