COLLADA Converter
Convert a DAE file to other formats for free. Most formats need no sign-up or credit card; BLEND needs a free account.
Quick answer: DAE (COLLADA) is an open XML-based interchange format that stores geometry, materials, textures, rigging, animation and scene hierarchy. Convert DAE files to 3DM, GLTF, GLB, OBJ, OFF free in your browser — no sign-up, no watermark — or generate a DAE model from a photo.
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. Or skip the conversion entirely — browse the free 3D furniture library.

About the DAE converter
FurniMesh's DAE converter runs in your browser for most formats, using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — the file stays in your tab. FBX, SKP and BLEND exports run on our conversion server. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the target format supports them. There's no sign-up for in-browser formats (up to 20 conversions a day) and no watermark.
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).
