GLB to PLY Converter

Converting GLB to PLY is useful for 3D scanning applications, point cloud processing, research applications, and software that specializes in mesh analysis. PLY format is particularly popular in academic research, 3D scanning workflows, and applications that need to preserve vertex color information.

Use this conversion for 3D scanning data processing, academic research, mesh analysis applications, point cloud visualization, or when working with software like MeshLab, CloudCompare, or other scientific 3D analysis tools that prefer PLY format.

Our converter preserves geometry, vertex normals, texture coordinates, and vertex colors from GLB files. PLY format excels at storing per-vertex data. Materials and textures are simplified since PLY focuses on geometric and vertex-level information rather than complex material definitions.

Yes, vertex colors are preserved and exported in the PLY file. If your GLB model has vertex color information, it will be maintained in the PLY output. This is particularly useful for 3D scanned data or models that use vertex painting for coloring.

PLY files are widely supported in research and analysis software including MeshLab, CloudCompare, Open3D, PCL (Point Cloud Library), Blender, and many academic 3D processing tools. It's a standard format in computer graphics research and 3D scanning applications.

Simply click 'Select File' or drag and drop your file into the upload area. The conversion will start automatically and you'll be able to download the converted file once it's complete.

You can upload files up to 100MB in size. For most 3D models, this is more than sufficient. If you need to process larger files, please contact us for assistance.

Our conversion tools are designed to preserve quality as much as possible. However, some formats may have different capabilities. We use industry-standard algorithms to ensure minimal quality loss during conversion.

Processing time depends on file size and complexity. Most files are converted within 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Larger or more complex models may take longer.

Yes! This tool is completely free to use with no hidden fees, subscriptions, or limitations. You can convert as many files as you need without any cost.

Absolutely. We take privacy seriously. Your uploaded files are processed securely and automatically deleted from our servers after conversion. We never store or share your files.
