Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model XYZ Files to PCD

to

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or XYZ (Point Cloud) model files to a standard PCD (Point Cloud Library) file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages such as Blender or 3D printed without any further processing.

To convert your XYZ 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 ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the XYZ to PCD conversion process see the conversion information section below for more information.

Upload a XYZ

Click the "Upload a XYZ File" button and select a XYZ to upload. The maximum file size is 100MB.

Download your PCD

Click the download link once completed to receive your PCD file.

How can I convert my XYZ file to PCD?

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

How long does it take to convert my XYZ to PCD?

We aim to process all XYZ 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.

How accurate is the XYZ to PCD 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 XYZ to PCD on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the XYZ file you submit to us. The resulting PCD file, once created is deleted 1 hour after upload and the download link will expire after this time.

Can I convert XYZ to PCD on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our XYZ 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.

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

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

File format information for XYZ to PCD

Extension	XYZ
Full Name	Point Cloud
Type	3D Model/Point Cloud
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text
Open With	MeshLab

Description

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

XYZ Notes

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

Supported Features

Mesh vertex data
