Sketchfab

Leading web-based platform for 3D model publishing, sharing, and marketplace distribution, now integrated within Epic Games' content ecosystem

Sketchfab is a web-based platform for publishing, sharing, and discovering interactive 3D and AR/VR content, operating as part of Epic Games following its acquisition in 2021. Founded in Paris, France, Sketchfab allows creators, artists, and developers to upload 3D models that can be viewed interactively in any web browser without requiring plugins, leveraging WebGL technology. The platform hosts millions of 3D models spanning industries including gaming, architecture, cultural heritage, education, and e-commerce. Sketchfab operates a large marketplace where creators can sell and license 3D assets, making it a significant hub for the 3D content economy. Its embeddable viewer has been widely adopted by media organizations, museums, and brands to present 3D content on their own websites. The platform supports a broad range of 3D file formats and integrates with major 3D creation tools, making it a central distribution layer for 3D content creators worldwide. As part of Epic Games' broader ecosystem — which includes Unreal Engine, Fab, and other creative tools — Sketchfab's technology and asset library have been integrated into Epic's content marketplace strategy. The acquisition underscored the growing importance of 3D content pipelines in gaming, metaverse development, and real-time 3D applications. Sketchfab continues to serve its community of millions of creators and buyers as a distinct platform within the Epic Games family.
