Free Online XYZ to STL Converter

You can use our XYZ to STL conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch XYZ to STL converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your XYZ file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted XYZ file before this time.

Our 3D model XYZ to STL tool will load your XYZ file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my XYZ file to STL?

First, click the "Upload..." button and select your XYZ file to upload. Your XYZ file will be uploaded to our servers. When the XYZ to STL conversion has completed, you can download your STL file right away.

How long does it take to convert my XYZ to STL?

We aim to process all XYZ to STL conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.

How accurate is the conversion from the STL 3D point cloud format?

Our XYZ tool will read all the vertex information from your STL file and use only this information when creating the final STL file.

An XYZ file, as its name suggests, is a simple 3D graphics file format capable of storing the 3D points that make up a 3D object. Only the points, or vertices, are stored in what is known as a point cloud format.

XYZ files are simple ASCII text files consisting of a vertex defined on each line of the text document. Only the vertex coordinates (X, Y, and Z) are stored; additional vertex data, such as normal and texture coordinates, are not recorded.

The format can be loaded into several 3D modelling programs and can also be converted to other point cloud formats, such as PTX, using our own XYZ converter.

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our XYZ converter, we will attempt to convert colour materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

The STL, or Standard Triangle Language, file format has been around since the '80s and is supported by most modern 3D modelling applications. In particular, the STL format has become something of a standard format within the area of 3D printing, despite the rise of more modern formats such as 3MF.

STL files come in two flavours: binary or text format. The text format is human-readable, making it easy to perform manual edits, but can lead to very large file sizes. As you can imagine, the binary format is much more compact and represents the majority of the STL files you are likely to encounter.

The format itself is very simple; the 3D model is represented by a sequential list of triangles, with each triangle defined with 3 points consisting of their X, Y, and Z positions, along with an additional vector that contains the face normal (the direction the face is pointing). There is an additional attribute block for each triangle; however, this is largely unused and thus unsupported.

When converting your XYZ to STL, our tool will attempt to accurately convert any colour or material information.

Information for converting from XYZ to STL

Your XYZ file will be converted to a STL file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our XYZ 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. As both XYZ and STL support colour material information, our tool will also attempt to convert the colour information.
