Facts

ViewerFX facts

One line per fact. Prices and limits come from the same source as the pricing page.

What ViewerFX is

  • ViewerFX hosts point clouds and laser scans and shares them as browser links.
  • Upload a file, send the link. The person who opens it needs no software and no account.
  • Made by GeoGear Supply, a land surveyor’s company in Michigan, USA.
  • Live at https://viewerfx.io. Sign up at https://viewerfx.io/signup.

Files

  • Accepted formats: LAS, LAZ, E57, PLY, PCD, PTS, PTX.
  • LAS and LAZ: every version and point format.
  • No per-file size cap. The only limit is the plan’s total storage.
  • Largest file converted so far: a 19.8 GB LAS with 530 million points, on 2026-10-29.
  • Every file is converted to COPC, a streaming LAZ, on a ViewerFX conversion server. Nothing is converted in the browser.
  • Conversion runs unattended. An email arrives when the file is ready, and one if it fails.
  • Multi-gigabyte files typically convert in 15 to 40 minutes.
  • Files are stored on Cloudflare R2. Originals stay private to the account.
  • Owners and admins can download the converted file as LAZ at any time.
  • Deleting a file removes it from storage.
  • Not included: registration or modeling. Upload finished data.

Viewer

  • Links open in any modern browser, on desktop and on phones. Nothing to install.
  • Links open from Microsoft Teams, email and text messages.
  • Viewers need no account and never pay. Unlimited viewers on every plan.
  • The viewer streams only the points on screen, so a 20 GB file opens as fast as a small one.
  • The coordinate system declared in the file is read on conversion and shown in the viewer.
  • Measurements show in metres, feet, or feet and inches, whatever the file is stored in.
  • Tool: Streaming viewer for any size cloud.
  • Tool: Distance, horizontal, height and area measuring.
  • Tool: Spot elevations, in feet or metres.

  • Tool: Interior mode: dollhouse view and walk-through.
  • Tool: Colour by elevation, RGB, intensity or class.
  • Tool: Annotations pinned to the cloud.
  • Tool: Password protected links, revoke anytime.
  • Tool: Unlimited free viewers, no accounts.
  • Tool: Screenshots and optimized LAZ download.
  • Tool: Workspace with team seats.
  • Interior scans are detected and open as a dollhouse with the ceiling cut away, a storey picker and walk mode.
  • Every plan has every viewer tool.

Links

  • One share link per file. Links are unguessable tokens.
  • Links never expire on a schedule. They stay live as long as the account is in good standing.
  • Any link can carry a password.
  • Any link can be revoked at any time.
  • The file list shows how many times each link has been opened.
