Questions

Are materials and textures kept?

Colours and texture coordinates are carried over when PLY supports them. PLY does not store textures, so only the geometry and colours carries over.

Will my model be upside down?

No. OFF and PLY may use different "up" directions, and we rotate the model so it stands the same way in your software.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser.
