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. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple XYZ files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
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 be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the XYZ to PCD conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

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

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.
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.
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.
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 XYZ file you submit to us. The resulting PCD 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 XYZ 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 PCD file quickly.
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.
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.
Yes. When you have converted your XYZ to PCD, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
