PLY 3D Format PLY Converter
The Polygon (PLY) file format, also known as the Stanford Triangle Format, is a 3D file format developed by Stanford University to store 3D scan data. It’s useful for storing detailed 3D mesh data from photogrammetry or scans, storing per-vertex information such as colours, transparency, texture coordinates and surface normals. The data can be stored in an ASCII or binary format, making the file flexible and easy to use; just choose the binary format for smaller file sizes and quicker loading, and the ASCII format for human readability and easy editing.
PLY files can be opened by software applications like Blender, MeshLab, Autodesk Meshmixer, and other 3D printing tools. They can also be run on macOS, Windows and Linux, making PLY a flexible format. Just keep in mind that PLY files have no native animation support, so if you need to store animation data, you may want to look for a different file format.

OBJ 3D Format OBJ Converter
An Object file (or OBJ) is a text-based 3D file format, developed by Wavefront Technologies, that represents geometry information alone. This is useful if you want to store complex data for your models, such as vertices, vertex normals and texture coordinates, in a simple format. If you need to transfer shape data between software, OBJ files are easy to parse and can be quickly read and edited by humans. The format is often used for 3D printing, as well as for sharing 3D assets during gaming or VR (virtual reality) development.
OBJ files can be opened by a variety of programs, such as Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, Autodesk 3ds Max, and other CAD software. The format is compatible with Windows and macOS, as well as many mobile platforms, and its wide compatibility makes it a popular file choice. Its limitations lie within its strengths, however: as OBJ files only contain geometry data, if you need to share animations or material data alongside the shape data for your file, you’ll have to look for an alternative format.
