DAE to APK Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
Collada (DAE) is the old XML-based 3D interchange format from Sony/Khronos — still what SketchUp exports and countless asset stores hand out. Meshes, hierarchies and materials, but heavyweight XML. Repack an APK as ZIP to inspect its manifest and assets (not for reinstalling).
iLoveConverter processes everything locally on your computer, which makes it private and fast: no upload wait, no server storage, no limits. Add as many files as you like — batch conversion is built in.

About the DAE format
Collada (DAE) was the Khronos Group's first attempt at a universal 3D interchange format — an XML schema carrying meshes, scene hierarchies, materials and even skinning. SketchUp's default export, countless asset stores and older game pipelines all speak it.
Its XML verbosity is why the industry moved to glTF: a DAE can weigh ten times its GLB equivalent. Converting to GLB shrinks it for the web, OBJ/STL strip it to raw geometry for editing or printing.
+Strengths
- ✓Widely exported by DCC tools and asset stores
- ✓Complete scene semantics in XML
- ✓Human-readable structure
!Limitations
- −Verbose XML — large files, slow parsing
- −Superseded by glTF for web delivery
- −Material definitions vary between exporters
About the APK format
An APK is Android’s install package: a ZIP holding AndroidManifest.xml, compiled DEX bytecode, native libraries and assets. Unpacking one is the standard first step of security review, compatibility checks and asset recovery.
One honest limit: unpacking is inspection, not installation — a repacked ZIP cannot be installed back onto a phone, and the page says so.
+Strengths
- ✓Everything an Android app ships
- ✓ZIP-based, easy to unpack
- ✓Manifest readable as XML
!Limitations
- −DEX bytecode is not human source
- −Repack cannot reinstall
Why convert DAE to APK?
There is a concrete reason this conversion exists: Verbose XML — large files, slow parsing APK sidesteps that — Everything an Android app ships If that is your situation, the tool above settles it in seconds, entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this DAE to APK converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Will my model look the same as a GLB?
Geometry, hierarchy and standard materials convert faithfully. Note that Draco-compressed GLB files and exotic extensions are not supported — export those as plain GLB from your original tool first.
Will my APK model keep its colors and textures?
Only if APK can store them. Geometry converts faithfully; appearance data survives only when the target format has a place to put it. For full materials, GLB is usually the right target.
How large can the DAE file be?
Everything runs on your device, so memory is the only ceiling. Dense meshes with millions of triangles convert fine on a desktop computer, just over a slightly longer coffee break.
