View.gs is a free online Gaussian Splat viewer and sharing platform for PLY and SPLAT files.
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.
Upload a compatible PLY or SPLAT file, explore the scene with fly, orbit or touch controls, give it a name, choose the opening camera and generate a shareable viewer link. Recipients start at the saved camera and can explore the scene without registering or installing software.
The public service accepts files up to 500 MB with no registration. Hosting lasts 48 hours from successful upload completion. After expiry the viewer stops opening the scene and scheduled cleanup removes the uploaded file. Keep your original file.
View.gs supports compatible binary little-endian Gaussian Splat PLY files and standard 32-byte-record SPLAT files. It does not currently accept SPZ, KSPLAT, SOG, generic point-cloud PLY or mesh PLY files. Renaming a file extension does not convert its data.
View.gs uploads files to cloud storage for temporary hosting and sharing. The interactive scene is rendered in the browser. This is not a local-only viewer. Anyone with a published link can view and forward it; shared scenes are not listed publicly.
View.gs views and shares existing Gaussian Splat files. It does not train scenes from photos or videos, convert between splat formats, or provide a geometry editor. Naming a scene and saving its opening camera do not change the original splat data.
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.
Programmatic upload requires a separately provisioned service account. The API returns viewerUrl and embedUrl; scenes become viewable after publication. Camera configuration is optional for service accounts. Embedded viewers are read-only and require no API key. A service-account API key must never be placed in an iframe or browser report.
