glTF to PLY Converter

Convert glTF to PLY in your browser. Export a triangle PLY mesh for geometry and vertex-color workflows.

Model workspaceGLTF → PLY

Your model goes here.

Choose your file or try the original sample below. No installation or sign-up.

01 / HOW IT WORKS

Open, inspect, then use your result.

  1. 01

    Open your file

    Choose, drop or paste your GLTF file. All three input methods use the same local checks.

  2. 02

    Look from every angle

    Orbit, zoom and switch between standard views. Read the dimensions and object count beside the model.

  3. 03

    Download the converted file

    After conversion, download PLY. Open the result in your destination software and check the units before use.

02 / TRY IT YOURSELF

A real file. A result you can check.

This original four-hole plate measures 80 × 50 × 8 mm. The sample uses the input format for this page. Use the default unit and axis settings to reproduce those dimensions.

03 / FORMAT & USE

glTF to PLY Converter

The PLY output uses millimeters and Z up. Supported vertex colors are retained; texture images are not converted into vertex colors.

What this viewer supports

Use a self-contained glTF 2.0 file with embedded buffers. External .bin files, animation and skinning are not supported.

Input limits depend on the format and are shown beside the file button. Mesh tools allow up to 1 million triangles, 2,000 objects and a 64 MiB preview; decoded-resource limits also apply.

04 / QUESTIONS

Know your input. Understand your output.

Does PLY preserve texture maps?

No. This output contains geometry and supported vertex colors, without image textures, animation or a CAD feature history.

Do I need an account or credits?

No. These tools are free and run in your browser. No account, subscription or credits are required.

Is my model uploaded?

No. Your selected file is read and processed in this browser. The page downloads its CAD engine and public samples, but does not upload your model. Refreshing or leaving the page clears the current file from the tool.

How are units and orientation handled?

Dimensions use millimetres with Z up. GLB uses metres with Y up; exported STL is mm/Z-up and OBJ is mm/Y-up.

Can I paste a file from my computer?

Copy a file in your file manager, then paste here. Your browser must expose the clipboard as a file; a copied path or text will not open a model.
