Sketchfab is a 3D asset website used to publish, share, and discover 3D, VR and AR content. It provides a viewer based on the WebGL and WebXR technologies that allows users to display 3D models on the web, to be viewed on any mobile browser, desktop browser or Virtual Reality headset.
The company behind it is today based in Paris and New York City. Sketchfab took part in the Spring 2013 TechStars New York City startup accelerator program, raised $2 million in December 2013 and $7 million in June 2015.
On July 21, 2021, Epic Games acquired Sketchfab. On March 22, 2023 it was announced that Sketchfab would be merged into Epic Games' upcoming marketplace called Fab, however this was delayed by a year.
On October 22, 2024 coinciding with Fab's launch it was announced that the Sketchfab Store (where creators were able to sell licensable content) will close, and that all further purchases and sells will be done through Fab.
