Here are 2 simple steps to convert your PCD to PLY using our fast and free PCD converter tool.
| Extension | PCD |
| Full Name | Point Cloud Library |
| Type | 3D Model/Point Cloud |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Binary |
PCD files are a Point Cloud 3D format created to enable high speed loading and saving of Point Cloud data to either text-based format of a compressed binary format.
PCD Converter Capabilities
When converting 3D Model/Mesh files using our [ey] converter we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.
| Extension | PLY |
| Full Name | Stanford Triangle Format |
| Type | 3D Model/Point Cloud |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Text |
| Opens With | Blender, MeshLab |
The PLY format is a 3D model format originally developed and released in 1994 with its primary use being to store three-dimensional data from 3D digital scanners. The format known as the Polygon File Format and also the Stanford Triangle Format can be either a binary or text based format.
The file format stores 3D geometric information such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, color and other custom data. The format is still in use with many PLY models available to download and PLY files can be loaded into most popular 3D applications such as Blender.
PLY Converter Capabilities
When converting your PCD to PLY our tool will attempt to accurately convert any color/material information.
Your PCD file will be converted to a PLY file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our PCD 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals and relevant material information. As both PCD and PLY support color material information our tool will also attempt to convert the color information too.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your PCD file to upload. Your PCD file will be uploaded to our servers. When the PCD to PLY conversion has completed, you can download your PLY file straight away.
We aim to process all PCD to PLY conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds however this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
Our PCD conversion tool can convert most Point Cloud vertex data to the PLY format without any loss of detail.
