Why Convert E57 to USDZ?
If you need a file built for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format but only have one built for transferring 3D scan data (with color) between scanning and CAD software, converting is usually the fastest path — E57 and USDZ serve different enough purposes that recreating the asset from scratch rarely makes sense.
Our engine reads a file built around transferring 3D scan data (with color) between scanning and CAD software and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
The short version: E57 is optimized for transferring 3D scan data (with color) between scanning and CAD software, USDZ is optimized for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format, and this converter exists for the moment those two needs don't line up.

- No local software installation required for either side — not laser scanners and point-cloud processing tools, not iOS AR Quick Look — everything runs in the cloud
- Converts E57 into USDZ, aiming to preserve what matters most: a single file ready for iOS AR viewing with no external references
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts
- Keeps the parts of your file that matter for Apple's AR Quick Look distribution format intact, even though the source was built for transferring 3D scan data (with color) between scanning and CAD software

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a file size limit for this conversion?
Free conversions handle files up to 50MB; registered accounts get up to 100MB.
How long does the conversion take?
Most conversions finish in 10-30 seconds. Larger or more complex files can take up to a minute.
What software works with the converted USDZ file?
USDZ is used by iOS AR Quick Look. If you were working with laser scanners and point-cloud processing tools (which produces E57), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
Can I convert the file back from USDZ to E57 afterward?
Only what USDZ actually carries can come back — anything specific to E57's role in transferring 3D scan data (with color) between scanning and CAD software that didn't survive the original conversion won't reappear.
What happens to features specific to E57 that USDZ doesn't have?
E57's real strength — an ASTM-standardized format supported across most scanning hardware — has no equivalent once converted, since USDZ's constraint is: not directly editable — meant for distribution, not authoring.
