View PCD and PLY point clouds in 3D with full color, and orbit, zoom, and pan around them

LIDAR Viewer

Open point-cloud files and explore them as an interactive 3D scene, right inside the editor.

What you can do

  • Open PCD and PLY point clouds — both ASCII and binary, including per-point RGB color.
  • Rotate, zoom, and pan the cloud with orbit controls; the view opens framed to the whole cloud.
  • Work smoothly with large clouds — very large files are automatically thinned to a manageable number of points so the scene stays responsive.

Getting started

Open a .pcd or .ply file from the Explorer, or right-click it and choose "Open With → LIDAR Viewer".

Requirements

Needs a graphics-capable (WebGL) display; rendering uses three.js. Runs in both the browser and the desktop app.
