GOOD TO KNOW
A polygon mesh is required. Point clouds are not reconstructed into surfaces, and STL cannot retain vertex colors.

THE SMALL PRINT, MADE SIMPLE
A few good questions.
Everything else you might want to know.
What should I know about PLY to STL conversion?
A polygon mesh is required. Point clouds are not reconstructed into surfaces, and STL cannot retain vertex colors.
Are my model files uploaded?
No. Your selected model is read and converted inside your browser. The site downloads the conversion engine when needed, but does not send your model to a server. Closing the tab clears the working session.
Is this converter free?
Yes. The supported conversions are free to use, with no account required. The current limit is one file at a time, up to 50 MB and one million output triangles.
Can I convert STL into an editable STEP solid?
No. This version exports mesh formats only. It does not reconstruct CAD surfaces or parametric history from triangles, and it does not export STEP or IGES.
Will materials, textures, and animations be preserved?
This version focuses on static mesh geometry and normals. Exports use geometry only or a neutral material. Textures, animation, rigging, and CAD feature history are not retained. Animated or compressed glTF geometry may be rejected.
Why does my model have a different scale in another app?
Mesh coordinate values are preserved without automatic rescaling. STEP and IGES imports are normalized to millimeters. STL and OBJ do not reliably define units, while glTF usually uses meters. Check import units in the destination app.
Can I edit the model after converting it?
Yes. Download the result, then open a compatible mesh format in Reactor 3D to cut, combine, or modify the model in your browser. Your file is not automatically transferred between sites.
