Some point-cloud editors and inspection tools accept plain XYZ text but cannot read E57 scans. Converting lets you pass the scan to those tools or inspect its coordinates with text-based workflows.
What the E57 format is
E57 is a binary container for 3D imaging data, commonly used to store terrestrial laser-scanner point clouds. It can hold coordinates, color, intensity, scanner images, and related scan metadata. Scanner software such as Leica Cyclone and FARO SCENE can create or export E57 files, so the format is common when exchanging scans between surveying and 3D applications.
What the XYZ format is
XYZ is a simple text representation of point coordinates, usually one point per line with X, Y, and Z values. It is easy to inspect, script, and import into software that supports ASCII point clouds. The format has no single strict standard: column order, separators, and optional color or intensity values can vary between applications.
How to convert E57 to XYZ
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the E57 file to the converter on this page.
- Choose XYZ as the output format and start the conversion.
- Download the converted file when it is ready. Multiple files can be converted in one batch; the page shows the per-file size limit.
Offline with desktop software
CloudCompare is free and open-source, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Open the E57 with File → Open, then use File → Save. In the save dialog, select the ASCII cloud format and give the output file a .xyz extension. In the ASCII export options, retain the X, Y, and Z columns; include other attributes only if the receiving application supports them.
Quality and compatibility
XYZ generally preserves point coordinates, but it does not carry E57’s scan organization, images, or metadata. Color and intensity survive only if the exporter writes those columns and the destination interprets them in the same order. Check the exported file’s first few lines and confirm its delimiter and column layout before importing it into another application.
