Convert PLY to OBJ
Drop your PLY files and download them as OBJ — free, in batch, and they never leave your device.
PLY → OBJ: what you should know
PLY is a mesh or point-cloud format that can store per-vertex color — typical of 3D scanners. It's used mostly in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, mesh processing (MeshLab, CloudCompare), and it stores geometry, normals and per-vertex colors. OBJ, on the other hand, is a veteran, universal text format supported by practically every 3D application — the format expected by interchange between 3D apps (Blender, Maya, 3ds Max), texturing, rendering.
This tool converts your PLY files to OBJ 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: OBJ doesn't support vertex colors: if your PLY has them, they'll be lost. If you need to keep that data, convert to a format that supports it (GLB keeps materials and textures; PLY keeps vertex colors).
