Convert PTS to OBJ Online
Convert PTS to OBJ in seconds. PTS is a plain-text point-cloud format; OBJ's strength is this: one of the most universally supported 3D formats in existence. No software installation required — everything runs in your browser.

Why Convert PTS to OBJ?
The short version: PTS is optimized for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export, OBJ is optimized for broad, simple mesh exchange across nearly every 3D application, and this converter exists for the moment those two needs don't line up.
PTS's limitation: no structure beyond raw coordinates (and sometimes color). OBJ's strength: one of the most universally supported 3D formats in existence — it doesn't share that constraint.
PTS is typically produced by or used with laser scanners and survey tools, for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export. OBJ is expected by virtually every 3D and rendering application instead, for broad, simple mesh exchange across nearly every 3D application — converting bridges that gap.
How to Convert PTS to OBJ
- Upload your PTS file.
- MiConvert converts it to OBJ, aiming to preserve what makes OBJ useful: one of the most universally supported 3D formats in existence.
- Download the converted OBJ file.
- Use it directly with virtually every 3D and rendering application.
Key Conversion Features
- No local software installation required for either side — not laser scanners and survey tools, not virtually every 3D and rendering application — everything runs in the cloud
- Understands that PTS is a plain-text point-cloud format and OBJ is the Wavefront geometry-plus-material format, rather than treating the conversion as a blind format swap
- Produces output ready for virtually every 3D and rendering application, picking up right where laser scanners and survey tools left off
- Built to handle the real-world quirks of files meant for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export, not just a textbook version of the format
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts

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.
What's the real difference between PTS and OBJ?
PTS is built around simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export (a plain-text point-cloud format). OBJ is built around broad, simple mesh exchange across nearly every 3D application instead (the Wavefront geometry-plus-material format) — different enough that this is a genuine format conversion, not just a rename.
Is this conversion free?
Yes — free for files up to 50MB, with a 100MB limit for registered accounts, no subscription required.
What happens to features specific to PTS that OBJ doesn't have?
PTS's real strength — a minimal, human-readable point-cloud format — has no equivalent once converted, since OBJ's constraint is: no animation, rigging, or scene hierarchy support.
Do I need any special settings before uploading my PTS file?
No special setup is required — upload the file as-is. PTS files meant for simple laser-scanning and survey point-cloud export convert most predictably; unusually exported or non-standard files are the most common reason a specific one might need extra attention.
