What is a SLDPRT file?
SLDPRT, SLDASM and SLDDRW are native SolidWorks part, assembly and drawing documents. This privacy-first tool attempts to extract an embedded preview image for rapid identification without uploading the file. The .SLDPRT extension identifies a SolidWorks document file, which is served with the application/octet-stream media type. You can open it here instantly — drop the file into the box above and it renders in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Native SolidWorks documents contain proprietary feature, assembly or drawing data and cannot be faithfully reconstructed by a lightweight static website. Many files also carry a thumbnail or preview generated when they were saved. This viewer searches for that embedded image and reports file information, offering a safe first look rather than claiming full CAD support.
Besides this free online viewer, you can open SolidWorks (SLDPRT/SLDASM/SLDDRW) files in desktop apps such as SolidWorks, eDrawings Viewer — but here all you need is a web browser.

What this browser preview can and cannot show
This is preview extraction only. It does not render parametric features, bodies, configurations, assembly mates, drawing sheets or measurements. Some files contain no preview, an outdated preview or an image that does not reflect the active configuration.
Tips for a reliable preview
- Save the document in SolidWorks with thumbnails enabled
- Use eDrawings, STEP or 3D PDF when recipients need dependable viewing
- Open the original in SolidWorks for every engineering decision

Frequently asked questions
What is a .SLDPRT file?
A .SLDPRT file is a SolidWorks document, identified by the application/octet-stream media type. You can open and read it instantly in the viewer above without installing anything.
What programs open SLDPRT files?
On the desktop, SLDPRT files typically open in SolidWorks, eDrawings Viewer. Online, this page opens them in any modern browser — nothing to download.
How do I convert SLDPRT to an image?
Use Snapshot to capture the SLDPRT preview, optionally add arrows, text or highlights, then download it as a PNG image.
Why does a SolidWorks file show no preview?
The document may not contain an embedded image, or its internal storage may use an unsupported layout. The original geometry is not decoded as a fallback.
Is it safe to open my SLDPRT file here?
Yes. The file is read and rendered entirely by JavaScript inside your own browser. It is never uploaded to a server, so nothing leaves your device.
Do I need to install anything to view a SLDPRT file?
No. There is nothing to install and no account to create. Open the page, drop your file, and it displays instantly.
Does it work on my phone or iPad?
Yes. The viewer is fully responsive and works in modern mobile and tablet browsers such as Safari and Chrome.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no hard limit, but very large files depend on your device’s memory. Big files are processed in the background so the page stays responsive.
