Convert KMZ to PLY online

Drop a .kmz file to turn it into PLY. You see the model in 3D before converting, and the file never leaves your device.

What is kept when converting KMZ to PLY

About KMZ

Google Earth (KML + COLLADA)

KMZ is a zipped Google Earth package: a KML placemark with a COLLADA 3D model and its textures.

About PLY

Polygon File Format (Stanford)

PLY (Stanford) stores meshes or point clouds, often with per-vertex colors. It is common for 3D scans and photogrammetry.

How it works

01
Drop the .kmz file (with its textures or .bin/.mtl files, if any).
02
Check the model in the 3D preview; PLY is already selected.
03
Click “Convert” and the .ply file downloads.

Questions

Is the KMZ to PLY converter free?+

Yes, without limits, sign-up or watermark.

Is my KMZ file uploaded?+

No. The KMZ file is read and converted in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

Why are textures missing after converting KMZ?+

Textures stored as separate files must be selected together with the model. PLY keeps them only if the format supports textures.
