PLY viewer FAQ
How can I open a PLY file online?
Sign in, unlock the PLY tool once, then choose a compatible file. The preview runs in your browser.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Compatible files are processed locally in your browser for this preview or conversion workflow.

No. Each format is a $1.90 one-time unlock. VIP members can also access the tool.
Can I preview a PLY file from MeshLab or CloudCompare?
Yes, for compatible mesh or point-cloud data. This page is a local visual check, not a replacement for scan cleanup, registration, measurement, or reconstruction software.
What file extension does PLY use?
This tool accepts the compatible PLY extension shown in the upload area. Use the dedicated format viewer when a file has a related extension or an application-specific variant.
Can I use this PLY viewer on a phone?
The page can be opened on mobile browsers, but a desktop browser is usually more practical for large files and detailed orbit, zoom, and inspection work.
