Create 3D animations with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a PLY (Stanford Triangle Format) 3D model file, and from this, create an animated MP4 (MPEG-4) file that you can then download and share without the need for any complex 3D modeling software.
Our PLY to MP4 animation tool includes options to adjust the camera position within the 3D world, set the resolution of the generated MP4 file, and, if your PLY file contains any animations, allow you to set the animation to play. To get started, please click the Upload button and select your PLY file.
Here are three simple steps to create an MP4 file from a PLY file.
| Extension | PLY |
| Full Name | Stanford Triangle Format |
| Type | 3D Model/Point Cloud |
| Mime Type | application/octet-stream |
| Format | Text & Binary |
| Tools | PLY Converters, 3D Model Voxelizer, Create PLY Animation, Compress PLY, Text to PLY, PLY Viewer |
| Open With | Blender, MeshLab |
The PLY format is a 3D model format originally developed and released in 1994, with its primary use being to store three-dimensional data from 3D digital scanners. The format known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format can be either a binary or text-based format.
The file format stores 3D geometric information such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, color, and other custom data. The format is still in use, with many PLY models available to download, and PLY files can be loaded into most popular 3D applications, such as Blender.
If your PLY file contains vertex colors, these will be imported and mapped where possible.
| Extension | MP4 |
| Full Name | MPEG-4 |
| Type | Video |
| Mime Type | video/mp4 |
| Format | Binary |
| Tools | MP4 Converters |
The MP4 video format is a standard format for video encoding and storage. In order to minimize file sizes, the format employs a lossy compression method that reduces the amount of data needed to store the video content without any noticeable loss in quality.
Due to its small size and efficient compression methods, the MP4 format is ideally suited for online video streaming. The MP4 format may use a variety of CODECs, which are usually supported by most MP4 players, with additional CODECs downloadable if needed.
Our tool supports converting from all PLY formats including Text and Binary (both little endian and big endian).
We aim to process all PLY to MP4 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 PLY file you submit to us. The resulting MP4 file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.
No. All our conversion tools process your PLY 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 MP4 file quickly.
Yes! Our PLY to MP4 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 PLY 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 PLY to MP4, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
