Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model XYZ Files to X

to

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or XYZ (Point Cloud) model files to a standard X (Direct X File) 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 X file and will ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the XYZ to X 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 X

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

How can I convert my XYZ file to X?

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

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

We aim to process all XYZ to X 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 X 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 X on ImageToStl.com?

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

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

Yes! Our XYZ to X 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 X

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

Extension	X
Full Name	Direct X File
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text

Description

The X 3D file format extension was introduced by Microsoft with the launch of Version 2 of their 3D graphics API Direct X back in 2002. The format has evolved over the years however in 2014 the X file format was deprecated in favour of newer more capable formats such as FBX.

The format is a simple text based file capable of storing 3D mesh information such as vertices, faces, normals and material information. In addition to basic 3D information the format can also store animations with the X file format primarily used in the development of games.

X Notes

X files support material and color information. If your uploaded model contains color information our tool will attempt to save this in the X file at the end of the conversion process. Texture information is not supported at this time.
