File Formats

File format information for BLEND and PLY

Detailed information about the source and target file formats, including their capabilities and specifications.

BLEND Format

Extension:BLEND
Full Name:Blender
Type:3D Model
Mime Type:application/x-blender
Format:Binary
Opens With:Blender

BLEND (Blender): A proprietary file format (.blend) used by Blender 3D software. It stores complete 3D scenes including geometry, materials, textures, animations, and lighting. Ideal for professional 3D modeling and animation workflows.

BLEND Converter Capabilities

When converting 3D model or mesh files using our BLEND converter, we will attempt to convert color materials into a suitable format for use in the converted file.

PLY Format

Extension:PLY
Full Name:Polygon File Format
Type:3D Model
Mime Type:application/octet-stream
Format:Binary
Opens With:MeshLab, Blender

PLY (Polygon File Format): An open file format (.ply) for 3D data, storing polygonal geometry and properties like color or texture. Developed by Stanford University, it’s flexible for scientific and 3D applications.

About the BLEND to PLY converter

FurniMesh's BLEND to PLY converter runs entirely in your browser using a WebAssembly glTF/3D-mesh pipeline — your file never leaves your tab, and the conversion completes in seconds for typical furniture-model files. Materials, UV maps, and scene hierarchy are preserved wherever the PLY format supports them. There's no sign-up, no watermark, no per-file size cap enforced by the UI — practical limits depend on your browser's available memory.

FurniMesh natively outputs four formats — GLB, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp 2017+), and BLEND (Blender 3.0+). Bridge conversion via this converter additionally produces FBX, STL, GLTF, 3DM (Rhino), IFC, DAE, PLY, OFF, 3DS, and 3MF. Use the converter to bridge between any combination — or skip the conversion step entirely if you don't have a source file yet (the FurniMesh library ships every model in all four native formats pre-rendered).
