Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model PTX Files to PNG

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or PTX (Point Cloud) model files to a standard PNG (Portable Network Graphics) 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 PTX files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your PTX file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a PNG file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the PTX to PNG conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

The PTX is a 3D file format used for representing 3D Point Clouds. The format contains only positional information (X, Y, and Z coordinates) for the individual points. The format is often used for digital elevation modeling of terrain for later processing in 3D modeling applications.

As the format only contains positional information, a common task is to convert this into a fully surfaced 3D model using methods such as Alpha Shapes or Delaunay Triangulation. The format can also be viewed without further processing in its raw format.

PTX Notes

The PTX file format was designed to store vertex information only to allow the construction of simple Point Cloud models.

Description

The PNG graphics file format is a commonly used format for storing 2D images, which can be highly compressed by the use of a palette if the image has a sufficiently low number of colors (256 colors in general). The PNG file is then further compressed using the DEFLATE compression algorithm to ensure small file sizes that are fast to download.

PNG files are seen as the logical successor to the GIF image file format and was devised in the mid-1990s as a superior format to GIF. PNG files are generally used for company logos, icons, and other non-photographic image content. Saving a digital photo in the PNG format will create a much larger file than an equivalent JPG image, hence the PNG format being unsuitable for most digital photo content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my PTX file to PNG?

First click the "Upload..." button, select your PTX file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the PTX to PNG conversion has completed, you can download your PNG file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my PTX to PNG?

We aim to process all PTX to PNG conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the PTX to PNG conversion?

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.

Is it safe to convert my PTX to PNG on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the PTX file you submit to us. The resulting PNG file, once created is deleted 15 minutes after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the PTX to PNG converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your PTX 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 PNG file quickly.

Can I convert my PTX to PNG on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our PTX to PNG tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our PTX 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.

Can I get support with converting my PTX to PNG?

Yes. When you have converted your PTX to PNG, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
