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.
