Convert XYZ File

XYZ Point Cloud File

A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.

Key Features of XYZ

  • Data Structure:

    Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).
  • Minimalism:

    No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.
  • No Topology:

    Pure vertex data without mesh connections.
  • Industry Use:

    Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.
