Convert your PLY 3D models to OBJ format using our free online tool. Transform Polygon File Format (PLY) files into Wavefront OBJ format while maintaining geometry and materials. No Signup Required.
The PLY format (Polygon File Format), also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, was developed at Stanford University and is commonly used for storing 3D scan data.
PLY files can store both geometric data and properties like color, transparency, surface normals, and texture coordinates, making them versatile for 3D modeling.
OBJ (Wavefront OBJ) is one of the most widely supported 3D file formats, initially developed by Wavefront Technologies in the 1980s and now an open format.
This conversion is especially useful when you need compatibility with a wide range of 3D modeling software, as OBJ is supported by virtually all 3D applications.
Converting PLY to OBJ involves transforming the geometry and property information from the PLY format into the more widely-compatible OBJ format structure.
The process preserves vertex positions, face definitions, and where possible, translates vertex properties like colors and normals to the OBJ format.
Our converter ensures proper handling of geometry data while maintaining the visual integrity of the 3D model in the new format.
Converting to OBJ offers several advantages: universal compatibility with virtually all 3D software, simpler file structure for easier editing, and support for material definitions through MTL files.
An online PLY to OBJ converter allows you to quickly transform 3D models between formats without installing specialized software. It's convenient for converting models from any device with a browser.
Our converter maintains the original geometry and basic material properties. The OBJ format is widely compatible with 3D modeling software and supports material definitions through MTL files.
Conversion time depends on the model size and complexity. Most conversions complete within a few minutes.
