PLY to STL Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
PLY Point/Mesh Model and STL 3D Model exist for different jobs: PLY (Polygon File Format) stores meshes and 3D scans with per-vertex color data — the standard output of photogrammetry and depth scanners. STL is what 3D printers and slicing software (Cura, PrusaSlicer) expect — the final step before printing.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

Frequently asked questions
Is this PLY to STL converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
What happens to colors and materials?
The STL format only stores geometry, so colors, textures and materials from the source file are dropped — the shape converts perfectly, appearance does not. If you need materials, convert to GLB instead.
