IFC Converter

Convert a IFC file to other formats for free. Most formats need no sign-up or credit card; BLEND needs a free account.

Quick answer: IFC is an open BIM format that stores building geometry, materials, real-world units and a structured hierarchy of building elements. Convert IFC files to 3DM, GLTF, GLB, OBJ, OFF free in your browser — no sign-up, no watermark — or generate a IFC model from a photo.

IFC (Industry Foundation Classes): An open file format (.ifc) for Building Information Modeling (BIM), used in architecture and construction. It stores detailed building data, including geometry and properties, for interoperability. Or skip the conversion entirely — browse the free 3D furniture library.

IFC Converter Capabilities

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

About the IFC converter

FurniMesh's IFC 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).
