Convert your PLY file to WEBP

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 WEBP (WebP) file that you can then download and share without the need for any complex 3D modeling software.

Our PLY to WEBP animation tool includes options to adjust the camera position within the 3D world, set the resolution of the generated WEBP 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.

Description

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.

PLY Notes

If your PLY file contains vertex colors, these will be imported and mapped where possible.

Description

The WebP format created to be a successor to the JPEG image file format features enhanced lossy compression, resulting in smaller files than a comparable JPEG file. The format also supports lossless compression and animations, making it possible to use it as an alternative to animated GIFs.

The format has its limitations, such as a maximum width of 16384 pixels. Support for displaying WebP images is well supported within most modern web browsers, with older browsers such as Internet Explorer requiring additional plugins to display the image content.
