Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model PCD Files to OBJ

to

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or PCD (Point Cloud Library) model files to a standard OBJ (Wavefront) 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 PCD files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

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

How to Convert your PCD to OBJ Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your PCD to OBJ.

Upload a PCD

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

Download your OBJ

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my PCD file to OBJ?

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

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

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

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

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

Yes! Our PCD to OBJ 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 PCD 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.

Will the OBJ file retain the textures from my PCD file?

Yes! If your PCD file contains textured geometry, the texture image files along with the texture coordinates (UV data) will be exported with the final OBJ file.

I have several PCD files; can I batch convert my PCD to OBJ?

Yes! Our PCD tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 25 and PCD files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the OBJ files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

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.

Description

The OBJ file format, originally created by Wavefront Technologies and later adopted by many other 3D software vendors, is a simple text-based file format for describing 3D models/geometry. This data can include vertices, faces, normals, texture coordinates, and references to external texture files.

As the format is text-based, it is relatively straightforward to parse in 3D modeling applications. A downside of the text-based format is that the files can be rather large compared to similar binary formats such as STL and compressed files such as 3MF.

OBJ Notes

Our tool will save any material and texture files separately; these additional files will be included with your final OBJ file at the time of download.
