PLY to GLB Converter

Converting PLY to GLB modernizes research and scanning data for web use. GLB is web-optimized, supports modern rendering features, and works across browsers and devices. This makes PLY models from 3D scanning, research, or point cloud processing accessible in web applications, AR/VR, and modern 3D workflows.

Use this conversion when you have 3D scanned data, research models, or point cloud data in PLY format that you want to display on the web, use in AR/VR applications, integrate into game engines, or share across modern 3D platforms. It's perfect for making scientific data web-accessible.

Our converter preserves geometry, vertex normals, texture coordinates, and vertex colors from PLY files. The rich per-vertex data that PLY excels at storing is maintained in the GLB output. Materials are created to represent vertex colors, and the model is optimized for efficient web rendering.

Yes! Vertex colors are one of PLY's strengths and are fully preserved in the GLB conversion. If your PLY file contains per-vertex color information (common in 3D scanned data), these colors will be maintained and properly displayed in the resulting GLB file.

Absolutely! The converted GLB files work in all modern web browsers, 3D modeling software like Blender, game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine, AR/VR applications, and any platform supporting the GLB/glTF standard. They're optimized for performance across devices.

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.
