Convert OBJ to PLY
Drop your OBJ files and download them as PLY — free, in batch, and they never leave your device.
OBJ → PLY: what you should know
OBJ is a veteran, universal text format supported by practically every 3D application. It's used mostly in interchange between 3D apps (Blender, Maya, 3ds Max), texturing, rendering, and it stores geometry, UVs and normals (materials live in a separate MTL file). 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 OBJ 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).
