Open LAS Files in Your Browser
Your surveyor sent a LAS file. You don't have LiDAR software installed, and you don't have time to find any.

What is a LAS file?
LAS is the standard file format for lidar and other point cloud data, developed by ASPRS so surveyors and GIS teams could exchange scans between different hardware and software without one vendor controlling the format. A LAS file stores point coordinates alongside attributes such as intensity, classification, and return number.
The catch is what happens once the file reaches someone outside the survey team: LAS was designed for exchange between LiDAR applications, not for opening cold on a laptop with none installed. A browser-based viewer removes that step entirely — no LiDAR processing suite to license and set up just to look at one scan.
How it works
- Sign up free — no card required to start.
- Open your LAS file in the browser viewer.
- Measure, annotate, and share a link with your team.
More than a viewer
Compare scans over time
Line up two scans of the same site from different dates and see what actually changed. Compare point clouds across time →
Measure in the browser
Distances and dimensions, checked directly in the viewer — no export to desktop software first. Measure point clouds in your browser →
Pin issues to the model
Flag a problem on the exact point in the scan and assign it to someone, instead of describing a location in a message. Annotate point clouds and assign issues →
Overlay against BIM
Put the as-built scan next to the design model and see where they disagree. Verify as-built against BIM →
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Starting is free — sign up and explore the viewer with a sample LAS dataset. Uploading and working with your own files starts on the Starter plan, from $99 a month.
Is my data private?
Yes. Projects are private by default and access is role-based — only people you invite can open your scans.
Does the viewer support classified and coloured point clouds (RGB, intensity)?
LAS files can carry classification, RGB colour, and intensity data. The viewer reads whatever attributes are present in the file, so classified and coloured scans display as scanned.
What do I need to view a LAS file someone shared with you?
Nothing to install and no account to create. Open the link they sent and the scan loads directly in your browser.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — the viewer runs in a mobile browser, so a scan opens on a phone or tablet in the site cabin as well as at a desk.
