Did you know we’re pushing out updates to our website all the time? Big changes are obvious, but we’re also continually tweaking and fixing small things, on a weekly basis. Often, these follow suggestions from YOU!
We’re proud of our work and decided to share all these updates with you. So from now on, you’ll find a weekly Website Update here on the Sketchfab blog.
If you have a suggestion or if you have found a bug, please get in touch. Maybe you’ll be part of our Website Update next week :)
Most important change this week
We’re now automatically generating model screenshots, even if you don’t view the model. This will reduce the number of ‘grey’ images in galleries.
Latest integration
User profile
You can now select which types of notifications you want to receive on your user profile page.

Content
Added Trnio to the list of apps that have direct upload to Sketchfab, and to the How do I create a 3D model page.
The About Sketchfab page now shows the locations of all Sketchfab team members on an annotated Earth model.
3D Models
‘Liking’ a model is much faster now.
Fixed wrong vertices/triangles counts with some models.
Annotations
Annotations now ‘fade in’ when the model has finished loading.
The Annotations link in the model menu should opens the Annotations tab in the editor directly.
Added a message when you’re trying to set up more than 5 annotations on a Free account.
Embeds
In some cases, the ‘Pro’ badge position was off.
- Fixed the layout for small embed sizes where UI elements might overlap.
API
Fixed a case where using very long tags (>48 characters) would lead to error messages.
