How to Convert SKP Files
The SKP format stands for Google Sketchup. This program allows you to create 3-D models of objects for use with programs such as Google Earth, the world-modeling program. If you want to convert an SKP file into something more compatible and easier to read in a simple picture editor, such as JPG or GIF, you can do so by using the native program Microsoft Paint. This program comes preloaded in Windows.
