Two-step conversion

source -> target

  1. Step 1 — Source

    LAS

    Drop or select a file: las. The converter reads the content on your device.

    Accepted input: las

  2. Step 2 — Target

    PLY

    Set the output options, run the conversion and download the PLY file.

    Units
    Model units (mm, cm, in)
    Orientation
    Y-up for web, Z-up for CAD and CAM
    Quality
    Triangle count or simplification target

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?

This pair's tool is a Pro feature — the Free plan opens the tool page but shows an upgrade prompt instead of the converter. Processing still runs locally in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.

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.
