File format information for DAE and GLTF
Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.
DAE Format
DAE (Digital Asset Exchange): An open, XML-based file format (.dae) for 3D models, part of the COLLADA standard. It supports geometry, animations, and materials, used for interoperability between 3D tools.
DAE Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D model or mesh files using our DAE converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
GLTF Format
glTF (GL Transmission Format): An open, JSON-based file format (.gltf) for efficient 3D model delivery. It supports geometry, materials, and animations, designed for web and cross-platform compatibility.

About the DAE to GLTF converter
FurniMesh's DAE to GLTF converter runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — your file never leaves your tab, and the conversion completes in seconds for typical furniture-model files. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the GLTF format supports them. There's no sign-up (up to 20 conversions a day) and no watermark; files up to 50 MB — practical limits depend on your browser's available memory.
FurniMesh natively outputs four formats — GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), and BLEND (Blender 3.0+). Bridge conversion via this converter additionally produces FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM (Rhino), PLY and OFF, and reads IFC, DAE, 3DS and 3MF files. Use the converter to bridge between supported formats — or skip the conversion step entirely if you don't have a source file yet (the FurniMesh library ships every model in all four native formats pre-rendered).
