Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or PCD (Point Cloud Library) model files to a standard OFF (Object File Format) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple PCD files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
To convert your PCD file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a OFF file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the PCD to OFF conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

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.

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.
OFF files support per-face color information. If your uploaded model contains color information, our tool will attempt to save this in the OFF file at the end of the conversion process.
Many 3D file conversion websites use the same off-the-shelf components to convert files, these often lack features and full PCD file compatibility. Our bespoke file conversion tools offer full PCD 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 PCD file quickly and accurately with maximum compatibility.
Yes! Our PCD tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and PCD files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the OFF files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your PCD file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the PCD to OFF conversion has completed, you can download your OFF file straight away.
We aim to process all PCD to OFF 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 PCD file you submit to us. The resulting OFF file, once created is deleted 20 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your PCD 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 OFF file quickly.
Yes! Our PCD to OFF 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 PCD conversion tool please consider white-listing our site. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits on some of our tools and processing/conversion times will be longer.
Yes. When you have converted your PCD to OFF, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
