What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

From a Syrian mobile connection, the Sketchfab feed loaded in full in an Android browser, with collections of 3D models and their previews displayed normally.

Landing pageWorks

sketchfab.com opened from a Syrian connection without the CloudFront block page, so the country block seen in May 2026 no longer applied to the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Sketchfab works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.

You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Sketchfab directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
