The options above are the ones this converter exposes. Defaults are safe for most files; change them when your downstream tool expects specific units or orientation.

What this conversion does

Input

LAS

LAS is a binary LiDAR point-cloud format that stores coordinates, intensity, classification and color.

Output

PLY

PLY is a flexible polygon format often used for scanned meshes and point data.

Use this converter when you have a LAS file and the next step needs PLY, for example scan processing and mesh inspection. The conversion is handled by a dedicated tool, so you do not have to install a desktop application to move a single file.

Limitations

  • Conversions run in the browser and share the memory your device gives the page. Very large files are better handled on a desktop or with a cloud task.

Frequently asked questions

Is LAS to PLY free?

Yes. This pair links to a converter that runs in your browser, and single-file conversions use a free daily allowance. No account is required to start, and you can register later for a larger allowance.

Do my files leave my device?

This pair links to a local browser converter, so the file is processed on your device and is not uploaded. Cloud processing, where a tool uses it, is labeled on the tool page and stores results only temporarily.

Can I convert several files at once?

Single-file conversion is available to everyone. Batch conversion is a paid capability, and cloud tasks have their own daily or monthly quotas. The pricing page lists the current limits.

What should I check after converting to PLY?

Open it in a mesh or scan tool and check point density and color attributes.
