What is a 3DGS viewer?
3D Gaussian Splatting represents a captured scene with many translucent, oriented Gaussian primitives. A 3DGS viewer projects and blends those splats in real time, producing a navigable view of the reconstructed space.
3D Gaussian Splatting Viewer
Review a 3DGS result in the browser from a compatible PLY or .splat export. Explore the reconstruction, set the opening view, and send it as a simple URL.

From reconstruction output to review
Export a compatible Gaussian Splat PLY or standard .splat file from your reconstruction workflow. View.gs validates the format, uploads the data directly to storage and opens it in an interactive browser viewer.
Share a consistent starting point
Position the camera before generating the link. View.gs saves that position, direction and up vector so collaborators begin from the intended view while remaining free to explore the rest of the scene.

How it works
Upload PLY or SPLAT
Choose a PLY or .splat file up to 500 MB. Upload progress is shown as your file transfers.
Choose a view and generate your link
Name the scene, choose its opening camera, then generate and copy the viewer link.
Let them look around
Anyone with the link can explore in their browser. No account or software installation.
Built for Gaussian Splats.
Bring a Gaussian Splat PLY or standard .splat file with position, scale, rotation, opacity and color data. Standard point clouds and mesh PLY files are not supported.

Before you upload
What is View.gs?
View.gs is a web application for viewing and sharing existing 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) scenes. Its official website is https://view.gs/. The name View.gs identifies the product and its domain; it does not refer to a .gs file format.
Can I embed a scene on my website?
Every published scene can be embedded on HTTPS websites, including scenes uploaded for free. Copy the HTML embed code from the Share panel. Embeds display the saved opening camera and let visitors explore without signing in. A free embed lasts for the same 48-hour period as its file. After expiry, it displays: This scene has expired. Contact the file owner to renew access.
Which files can I upload?
Gaussian Splat .PLY and .splat files up to 500 MB are supported. PLY files must use a compatible binary little-endian Gaussian layout; .splat files must use the standard 32-byte record layout. Ordinary point cloud and mesh PLY files are not supported.
Is View.gs a free Gaussian Splat viewer?
Yes. You can upload a compatible PLY or .splat file, explore it online and create a viewer link at no cost. Free links remain available for 48 hours.
Does the recipient need an account?
No. Anyone with the link can explore your Gaussian Splat in a compatible browser. There is no login or installation step.
What happens after 48 hours?
The link expires and stops opening the scene. The source file is removed by scheduled cleanup. Keep your original PLY or .splat file if you want to upload it again later.
Who can see my scene?
Anyone with your link can view and forward it. Links are random, are not listed publicly, and are not indexed by search engines. Password protection is not available yet.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Use the file picker to upload and touch gestures to navigate. Large scenes may exceed the memory or graphics capabilities of some devices.
