STL to PLY
Convert STL models to PLY on your device. Preview the mesh, then check the exported model.
Choose a 3D model
GLB, glTF, OBJ, STL or PLY · Device-dependent capacity
Three simple steps
Prepare PLY output
PLY exports mesh geometry and supported vertex colors, but not textures, materials or animation.
Save and check your PLY file
Check scale and orientation in the destination application. STL and OBJ files do not reliably declare units.
Common questions
What changes when I convert STL to PLY?
STL contains triangle geometry only. Materials, textures, scene hierarchy and animation are not retained. PLY exports mesh geometry and supported vertex colors, but not textures, materials or animation. Check scale and orientation in the destination application. STL and OBJ files do not reliably declare units.
Will the PLY file be smaller?
Not necessarily. PLY exports mesh geometry and supported vertex colors, but not textures, materials or animation. Size depends on the source and settings. Compare the exported file and inspect its geometry.
Which STL files work here?
STL contains triangle geometry only. Materials, textures, scene hierarchy and animation are not retained. Only mesh models are supported, not CAD solids or every compressed glTF extension.
Is there a size cap for STL to PLY?
There is no fixed file-size quota. Process one main file at a time. Your device memory and browser determine practical capacity. Large selections show a warning that you can continue past.
