Extract and modernize 3D models from Google Earth KMZ archives. Convert geospatial Collada models to GLB for web viewing and general 3D use.

KMZ files are ZIP archives used by Google Earth that contain KML geographic data and embedded 3D models in Collada (DAE) format. This tool extracts the 3D models from KMZ archives and converts them to modern GLB format, making them accessible for web 3D applications beyond the Google Earth ecosystem.
DefaultY-up
Determines the 'up' axis of the exported model. Different 3D software uses different conventions. Selecting the wrong system may cause the model to lie on its side.
Convention used by OpenGL, Three.js, and most Web 3D engines. Choose this for models from web or game engines.
Convention used by Blender (default), 3ds Max, and some CAD software. Try this if the model appears sideways.
Default0°
Range-180° – 180°
Rotate the model around the X axis (degrees). Useful for correcting axis misalignment or print orientation.
Default0°
Range-180° – 180°
Rotate the model around the Y axis (degrees). Useful for correcting axis misalignment or print orientation.
Default0°
Range-180° – 180°
Rotate the model around the Z axis (degrees). Useful for correcting axis misalignment or print orientation.

A KMZ file is a ZIP archive containing a KML file (geographic markup) and associated resources including 3D models in Collada (.dae) format, textures, and geographic coordinates. The converter extracts and converts the 3D model portion.
The converter extracts the 3D model geometry and textures but does not preserve the geographic positioning data (latitude, longitude, altitude) from the KML file. The model is centered at the origin in the GLB output.
Texture images referenced by the Collada model inside the KMZ are extracted and embedded in the GLB output. Basic materials including diffuse colors and texture maps are converted.
KMZ files may contain multiple 3D models at different geographic locations. The converter extracts and merges all models into a single GLB file. If you need individual models, try converting a more specific KMZ with fewer locations.
KMZ files with 3D models are available from Google Earth's 3D Buildings layer, SketchUp 3D Warehouse exports, and various geographic information system (GIS) databases. Look for KMZ files specifically containing building or terrain models.
Yes, Any3D's core features are free to use forever. We provide format conversion, model optimization, and online preview at no cost, with no registration required.
No. Files you select are processed only in your browser on this device—they never leave your device and are never sent to our servers. We don't store any user files; after processing, related data in browser memory is released.
No installation required. Any3D is entirely browser-based—just open the webpage to use all features. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and other major operating systems.
The processing capacity depends on your device performance and the model's vertex count and texture complexity, rather than file size alone. We impose no file size limit, but when a model exceeds what your device can handle, the page may lag or even crash.
