Convert glTF to PLY

Drop your glTF files and download them as PLY — free, in batch, and they never leave your device.

glTF → PLY: what you should know

glTF is the open Khronos standard for 3D scenes, in its JSON-with-resources variant. It's used mostly in the web, AR/VR, game engines, asset pipelines, and it stores geometry, PBR materials, textures, scene and animations. PLY, on the other hand, is a mesh or point-cloud format that can store per-vertex color — typical of 3D scanners — the format expected by 3D scanning, photogrammetry, mesh processing (MeshLab, CloudCompare).

This tool converts your glTF files to PLY right in the browser: no queue, no artificial size limit and, above all, your file is never uploaded to any server. Geometry is preserved with the exact coordinates and scale of the original — important if the model is going to be printed or measured.

Keep in mind: PLY stores geometry and vertex colors: materials and textures are lost. If you need to keep that data, convert to a format that supports it (GLB keeps materials and textures; PLY keeps vertex colors).
