The browser-native point cloud viewer your clients can actually use.
LAS, LAZ, and E57 files rendered in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Your clients click a link. The point cloud opens. No CloudCompare. No downloads. No confusion.
Sending a LAZ file isn't delivering it
Your client received the file. That doesn't mean they can open it.
You send a LAZ file. Your client doesn't have CloudCompare.
They download it, double-click it, and get nothing. Then they email you. Then they call you. Then you spend an hour on remote support you never quoted for.
Your client opens a link. The point cloud loads in their browser in under 60 seconds.
Full 3D navigation. No software. No account. Works on any device with a modern browser.
You have no idea if your client looked at the data.
You send the Dropbox link, they say nothing, and three weeks later they dispute whether you delivered what you promised. You have no evidence either way.
Swyvl logs every view — timestamp, browser, device, dwell time.
You know the exact moment they opened the link, how long they spent in the viewer, and whether they came back for a second look.
A Dropbox link looks like you sent homework.
A generic file dump — no context, no branding, no curation — signals that the delivery was an afterthought. It doesn't reflect the quality of the work you just did.
A branded portal looks like you run a professional operation.
Your logo. Your colours. A clean, interactive viewer. The delivery experience becomes part of what you charge for.
How it works
From file upload to client viewing in three steps.
Upload your LAS or LAZ
Swyvl accepts LAS 1.0–1.4, LAZ, and E57. Drop your file in. Multipart upload handles files up to hundreds of GB without time-outs or failures.
Processing happens automatically
Swyvl converts your point cloud to Potree format, generates a thumbnail, and configures the viewer. Takes minutes. You'll be notified when it's ready.
Share a link
One click creates a share link. Your client opens it and sees the point cloud in full 3D — no account needed on their end.
What the viewer can do
A full-featured point cloud viewer with no software to install.
Format support
LAS 1.0–1.4, LAZ (compressed LAS), and E57 (terrestrial laser scanning). All common point cloud formats from survey-grade scanners and drone LiDAR.
Colour modes
RGB, intensity, elevation gradient, and classification (ground, vegetation, buildings, and other LAS classification codes). Switch modes with one click.
Navigation
Rotate, pan, and zoom with standard mouse or touch controls. Works in any browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile — no trackpad tricks needed.
File size
Handles datasets from small site scans to billion-point surveys. Potree tiling streams only the data needed for your current view — large files don't slow the viewer.
No install
WebGL-based rendering runs in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Your client doesn't install anything. Not even a browser extension.
Security
Files served via pre-signed URLs with time-limited access. No public S3 bucket. Full audit trail on every view. Revoke access at any time.
