What is a PLY File?

PLY Converter

PLY (Polygon File Format) stores 3D data from 3D scanners and photogrammetry software. It can include vertex colors, normals, and custom properties, making it popular in scientific computing and 3D scanning.

What is a GLB File?

GLB Converter

GLB is the binary version of glTF, packaging all assets (meshes, textures, animations) into a single file. It is widely used for web-based 3D, AR/VR, and real-time rendering applications.
