How can I convert my OBJ file to SKP?

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

How long does it take to convert my OBJ to SKP?

Most OBJ to SKP conversions complete in a few seconds for typical furniture-model files (a few MB to ~100 MB). The pipeline runs in your browser for most format pairs — no upload to a server, no roundtrip latency. For SKP and BLEND outputs the conversion runs server-side via the native Blender or SketchUp engine, with a hard 5-minute timeout per conversion; most server-side conversions finish in well under a minute.

What does the OBJ to SKP conversion preserve?

Materials, UV maps, vertex normals, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the SKP format supports them. STL is the exception — it is a geometry-only format by design and discards materials and UVs. GLB and GLTF preserve embedded textures inside the file; OBJ produces an accompanying MTL material descriptor; SKP groups components logically with materials applied; BLEND preserves the full Blender scene graph with modifiers.

How does converting OBJ to SKP work?

In order to successfully convert a OBJ formatted file to the SKP format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed a OBJ 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.

What if I don't have a OBJ file to convert yet?

Browse the FurniMesh 3D furniture library — every model exports natively to SKP (visit https://furnimesh.com/library/format/skp/ for the SKP catalog). Or generate a custom 3D model from any furniture photo with the Image to 3D AI generator at https://furnimesh.com/image-to-3d/ — output formats include SKP natively.

File Formats

File format information for OBJ and SKP

Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.

OBJ Format

Extension:OBJ

Full Name:Wavefront OBJ

Type:3D Model

Mime Type:model/obj

Format:Binary

Opens With:Blender, Maya, 3ds Max

OBJ (Wavefront Object): A widely-used, open file format (.obj) for 3D geometry, storing vertex, texture, and normal data. Developed by Wavefront Technologies, it's simple and supports interoperability across 3D software.

OBJ Converter Capabilities

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

SKP Format

Extension:SKP

Full Name:SketchUp

Type:3D Model

Mime Type:application/vnd.sketchup.skp

Format:Binary

Opens With:SketchUp

SKP (SketchUp): A proprietary file format (.skp) used by Trimble SketchUp for 3D modeling. It stores 3D geometry, materials, textures, and scenes. Widely used in architecture, interior design, and construction for creating detailed 3D models and presentations.

About the OBJ to SKP converter

FurniMesh's OBJ to SKP converter runs a server-side pipeline backed by the native Blender / SketchUp engines. Conversions complete within a 5-minute hard timeout per request; most furniture files finish in well under a minute. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the SKP format supports them. There's no sign-up, no watermark, no per-file size cap enforced by the UI.

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), IFC, DAE, PLY, OFF, 3DS, and 3MF. Use the converter to bridge between any combination — 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).
