Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model XYZ Files to DAE

Our free and fast tool will convert most 3D mesh or XYZ (Point Cloud) model files to a standard DAE (COLLADA - Collaborative Design Activity) 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 DAE file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the XYZ to DAE conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

How to Convert your XYZ to DAE Online?

Here are two simple steps to convert your XYZ to DAE.

Upload a XYZ

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

Download your DAE

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I convert my XYZ file to DAE?

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

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

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

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

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

Yes! Our XYZ to DAE 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.

Will the DAE file retain the textures from my XYZ file?

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

I have several XYZ files; can I batch convert my XYZ to DAE?

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

Description

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.

XYZ Notes

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

Description

The DAE format (also known as COLLADA) is a 3D file format used to describe 3D models, meshes, and 3D worlds using a simple text-based structure. The format was introduced in 2004 by Sony Computer Entertainment and is currently managed by the Khronos Group.

DAE files are a text/XML-based file format containing 3D geometric information used to describe 3D objects and meshes such as vertices, faces, animations, materials, camera/lighting elements, and other related metadata. The format has widespread usage and support, with applications such as Blender and MeshLab being able to read and write to it.

DAE Notes

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

Supported Features

  • Mesh geometry
  • Material colors
  • Textures (PNG, JPG formats)
