PLY to GLB converter

Drop a PLY file, check the preview, download GLB. The conversion runs in your browser, so your model never leaves your device.

How the conversion works

PLY files usually come out of 3D scanners and photogrammetry pipelines. The format stores a mesh, optionally with per-vertex color.

The converter writes GLB, so the result loads directly in web viewers, e-commerce embeds, and most game engines.

Frequently asked questions

Does my file get uploaded?

No. Parsing and export run in your browser with WebAssembly and three.js. The file stays on your device, and it works offline once the page has loaded.

What survives the PLY to GLB conversion?

Geometry comes through completely: every triangle, at full precision. Materials, textures, and vertex colors don't, because the pipeline works on plain geometry. The GLB you download is ready to texture in Blender or a web viewer.

Is there a file size limit?

Files up to 150 MB work. Heavier meshes convert too, they just take longer; if a file is unwieldy, reduce its triangle count first with the reduce tool.
