Our free and fast tool will convert your 3D OFF (Object File Format) model files to a standard PCD (Point Cloud Library) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple OFF files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your OFF file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a PCD file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the OFF to PCD conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

The OFF file format is a simple text-based format capable of storing 2D and 3D geometry and was originally developed for the Geomview application. There is also an extension to the OFF format used by the Stella4D application to enable the storage of four-dimensional data.
The format can contain common vector information such as vertices, faces, shapes, and edge information, and it also has support for including color information. As the format is text-based, the files can become rather large, with no built-in compression options available.
If your PCD file contains face colors, these will be imported and mapped where possible.

| Type | 3D Model/Point Cloud |

PCD files are a Point Cloud 3D format created to enable high-speed loading and saving of Point Cloud data to either a text-based format or a compressed binary format.
The format can be either text-based or binary. In the text format, point coordinates are stored on a single line with an option color value. The file contains a header section that defines the data fields that are present in both text and binary formats.
Many 3D file conversion websites use the same off-the-shelf components to convert files, these often lack features and full OFF file compatibility. Our bespoke file conversion tools offer full OFF file compatibility and have been developed in-house by a team of developers, some of whom have over 30 years of experience working with 3D graphics file formats, meaning our tools will convert your OFF file quickly and accurately with maximum compatibility.
Yes! Our OFF tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 OFF files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the PCD files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, and select your OFF file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the OFF to PCD conversion has completed, you can download your PCD file straight away.
We aim to process all OFF to PCD conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.
Yes, of course! We do not store the OFF file you submit to us. The resulting PCD file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.
No. All our conversion tools process your OFF file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted PCD file quickly.
Yes! Our OFF to PCD tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.
Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our OFF conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your OFF to PCD, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
