Why Convert PTS to GLB?
PTS is a plain-text point-cloud format, commonly used for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export. That focus comes with a real limitation: no structure beyond raw coordinates (and sometimes color). GLB doesn't share that problem — its strength: a single efficient file bundling geometry, materials, and textures.
GLB is the compact binary form of glTF, built around fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers. Converting from PTS — built around simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export instead — closes that gap.
The short version: PTS is optimized for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export, GLB is optimized for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, and this converter exists for the moment those two needs don't line up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does GLB exist as a separate format instead of everyone just using PTS?
Because they're built for different jobs — PTS is aimed at simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export, while GLB is aimed at fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers. Neither format is "better," they just fit different parts of a workflow.
What software works with the converted GLB file?
GLB is used by Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers. If you were working with laser scanners and survey tools (which produces PTS), this conversion is the direct bridge between the two.
Is the conversion from PTS to GLB reliable?
Straightforward files convert reliably. PTS's limitation — no structure beyond raw coordinates (and sometimes color) — combined with GLB expecting fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers, means unusual or edge-case source files can occasionally need a second look.
Do I need laser scanners and survey tools installed to convert my file?
No — the conversion happens entirely on our servers. You don't need laser scanners and survey tools, and you don't need Three.js, Babylon.js, iOS/Android AR viewers either unless you plan to open or edit the GLB result afterward.
Why would I need GLB instead of just keeping PTS?
Mainly when your workflow specifically calls for fast-loading real-time delivery for web and AR viewers — that's GLB's whole reason for existing, and PTS isn't built to provide it, since it's focused on simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export instead.
