What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DAE") to another (referred to as "BLEND"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, DAE file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format DAE to format BLEND becomes essential.

These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DAE and transforming it into format BLEND. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DAE to BLEND converters.
