Which PLY files work?

A Gaussian Splat PLY contains a vertex for each splat plus scale, rotation, opacity and color or spherical-harmonic properties. View.gs checks the PLY header and stored file before creating a scene. Binary little-endian 3DGS layouts are supported.

Why an ordinary PLY may not open

PLY is a general container also used for point clouds and polygon meshes. Those files often contain only positions, normals or faces. A Gaussian Splat viewer also needs per-splat scale, rotation and opacity, so a regular point-cloud or mesh PLY is not interchangeable with a 3DGS PLY.

View and share from the browser

After verification, the file opens in the View.gs WebGL viewer. Choose Fly or Orbit controls, frame the scene, give it a name and publish a temporary viewer link that works without a recipient account.

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.
