Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model OFF Files to PCD

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or OFF (Object File Format) 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 OFF files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your OFF 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 OFF to PCD conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

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

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

We aim to process all OFF 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 OFF 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 OFF to PCD on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the OFF 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.

Description

The OFF file format is a simple text-based format capable of storing 2D and 3D geometry and was originally developed for the Geomview application. There is also an extension to the OFF format used by the Stella4D application to enable the storage of four-dimensional data.

The format can contain common vector information such as vertices, faces, shapes, and edge information, and it also has support for including color information. As the format is text-based, the files can become rather large, with no built-in compression options available.

OFF Notes

If your PCD file contains face colors, these will be imported and mapped where possible.

Description

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.
