Convert OBJ files to PLY in seconds. Geometry, UVs and materials are carried over where PLY supports them, and the model lands the right way up.
Drop it on the converter above or click browse. It opens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
PLY is already selected. You can switch to any other output from the menu.
Click Convert and your PLY file is ready in seconds. Download it straight away.
OBJ is a plain-text mesh format with optional texture coordinates and normals; materials and textures live in a companion .mtl file. It opens almost everywhere, from Blender to 3D printing software.
PLY stores meshes and point clouds, often with per-vertex colour. It is the usual output of 3D scanners and photogrammetry software.
If your OBJ has companion files (.mtl and texture images), select them together with the OBJ file so materials come through.
Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when PLY supports them. PLY does not store textures, so only the geometry and colours carries over.
No. OBJ and PLY may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.
No. The conversion runs inside your browser.
