Open and view PLY files online — free, no signup, no upload
A PLY file (Polygon File Format / Stanford Triangle Format) is common for 3D-scanned meshes and point clouds. It can store per-vertex colour and comes in ASCII or binary. This viewer opens PLY files right in your browser so you can rotate, zoom and pan a model and check its bounding-box dimensions and triangle count — without installing software or sending your file anywhere.
How to view a PLY file
1. Drag your file onto the box above, or click Open PLY file. 2. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan. 3. Read the width/depth/height and triangle count in the panel.
