PLY was designed at Stanford for storing 3D-scanned data. Beyond plain geometry it can attach arbitrary per-vertex properties — most importantly vertex colors — which makes it the format of choice for 3D scans, photogrammetry output and point-cloud-derived meshes.
OFF is a minimal academic mesh format: a vertex list and a face list in plain text, nothing else. Its simplicity makes it a favorite in computational-geometry research, mesh-processing courses and tools like CGAL and MeshLab.
| PLY | OFF | |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | Triangle mesh / scan data | Polygon mesh |
| Units | No | No |
| Colors & materials | Per-vertex colors | Optional vertex colors |
| Animations | No | No |
| Typical use | 3D scans & photogrammetry | Research & geometry processing |
Yes — free with no accounts, no watermarks and no file-size limits. Conversion runs on your own machine, so there are no server costs behind it.
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your .ply file never leaves your device, which makes it safe for confidential designs.
Yes — parts and assembly hierarchy are preserved where OFF supports them, and you can optionally merge everything into a single mesh during conversion.
Yes. Every converted model opens in the built-in 3D viewer with an assembly tree, display modes and section views, so you can inspect the result first.
PLY vertex colors are not carried through the converter’s flat per-part color model, and the format supplies no reliable units. The OFF result is unitless geometry with no assembly hierarchy, materials, textures or animation.
