PCD は点群データの形式です。3D スキャンや LiDAR の計測結果を保持します。
Typical use: 点群を CSV に変換して座標を確認・加工します。
About the PCD format
PCD は 3D スキャンの点群データを扱う形式です。座標に加え、色や強度などの属性も保持できます。
点群のままでは加工しにくいため、用途に応じて CSV（座標確認）や OBJ/STL（形状化）へ変換します。

Frequently asked questions
What is a PCD file?
PCD is the native file format of the Point Cloud Library (PCL) — a typed header (FIELDS/SIZE/TYPE/DATA) followed by ASCII or binary points, used everywhere in robotics and LiDAR research.
How do I convert PCD files online?
Pick a target format from the "Convert PCD to…" list below, drop your file and hit convert. Everything runs in your browser — no install, no upload, no watermark, no limits.
Is it safe to convert PCD files here?
Yes. Every conversion is performed by your own device inside the browser — files never leave for a server, and the page keeps working even offline.
