FAQ

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your own device. The file is never sent anywhere, so it's private and fast.
Does converting STL to PLY lose quality?
Not in geometry: the mesh (vertices and triangles) is preserved exactly. What's dropped is whatever the target format can't hold, such as colour, materials or slicer settings.
Is it free with no limits?
Yes, free and no sign-up. Because the conversion is local, there are no server limits — it only depends on your own computer.
