When the Point Cloud Won't Fit in an Email
A 40 GB .las file. A 25 MB inbox limit. Something has to give, and it shouldn't be the file.
Start free and stop moving the file at all — open it as a link instead.
No install. Sign up free to try it with a sample dataset.

Something has to give
A 40 GB .las file. A 25 MB inbox limit. The math doesn't work, so the file gets compressed, split into parts, uploaded to a file-transfer service, and the recipient downloads pieces and hopes the reassembly works.
Every one of those steps is a place for the process to fail — a part that doesn't upload, a link that expires, a recipient who doesn't have the software to decompress it once it arrives.
The fix isn't a bigger inbox or a better compression tool. It's not moving the file at all — open it as a link instead, and let the recipient view it in the browser without downloading the whole thing.
How it works
- Sign up free and load the file into a project.
- Generate a share link for the scan.
- Send the link — the recipient opens it in the browser, nothing to download in full.

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 →
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Starting is free — sign up and load a sample dataset to see how it works. Uploading and sharing your own files starts on the Starter plan, from $99 a month.
Do I need to compress or split the file first?
No. The file is loaded into a project once and opened as a link — there's no need to compress or split it to send it to someone else.
Is my data private?
Yes. Projects are private by default and access is role-based — only people you invite can open your files.
What does the recipient need to open the link?
Nothing to install and no account to create. Open the link and the scan loads directly in the 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.
