Every Sketchfab user has the ability to download select 3D models. You can specifically search for downloadable models (by toggling "Downloadable" in the Sketchfab search bar), or go to our dedicated Downloads page.
Available for Download
A 3D model is only free to download if the owner enables it.
You can tell if a model is available for download if you see Download 3D Model below the viewer on the model page.
Clicking Download 3D Model will offer the following:
the original file that the author uploaded, along with any texture, material, and extra files that were included
a transcoded glTF version of the model
various GLB versions of the model with different texture resolutions
a transcoded USDZ version, which can load in Apple Quick Look
Unavailable for Download
If the Download 3D Model link is not visible on the model page, the user has decided not to make their model downloadable.
If you'd like to request a user reconsider offering their model for download, feel free to politely comment on their model page.
