About This Tool

XYZ is a common point cloud file format where each line records the coordinates of a point, often used in 3D scanning and scientific measurement. This tool opens XYZ files directly in the browser, displaying the point cloud shape and color information in real time, making it easy to quickly inspect and share data. No file upload is needed, so your data stays private.

Description:
XYZ is one of the simplest point cloud text formats. Each line records the X, Y, Z coordinates of a 3D point, separated by spaces or tabs, with no header. It is easy to read and write, and is widely adopted in surveying and scientific research tools. XYZ contains only coordinates, usually without color or normals, and the point cloud density determines reconstruction quality. It suits as a generic intermediate format for point cloud exchange, and can be converted to richer formats like PLY when rendering or modeling is needed.

Notes:

  • The XYZ format is widely supported in 3D software and engines

Supported Features:

  • Real-time WebGL rendering
  • Orbit controls with rotate/pan/zoom
  • Wireframe and shaded display modes
  • Animation playback (if supported by format)

How to Use

1

Upload Model

Drag your XYZ file onto the page, or click to select a file. If you have associated textures, package them into a ZIP and upload together.

2

View Model

Drag with the mouse to rotate the model, scroll to zoom, and inspect the appearance, colors, and animations from any angle.

3

Done

Your files are processed only in your browser. No data remains after you close the page.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all FAQs
Q

How is color data arranged in XYZ files?

A

The common format lists the xyz coordinates on each line, followed by RGB values (0-255) or floating-point numbers. The tool automatically detects and displays the colors.

Q

What if nothing shows up after opening an XYZ file?

A

Check that the file content is standard point cloud data with at least three numeric values per line. If the coordinate range is too large, try zooming out to see the full scene.

Q

Can I adjust the displayed point size?

A

Point size adjustment is not currently supported, but you can rotate and zoom to explore different levels of detail. Zooming in lets you inspect local structure clearly, while zooming out gives an overview, which covers most inspection needs.

Q

How can I compare multiple XYZ files?

A

Open multiple files one after another and they will be overlaid in the same scene, so you can directly compare different scan results. This makes it easy to see differences between repeated scans for data verification and quality checks.

Q

What is the difference between XYZ and PCD point cloud formats?

A

XYZ is a simple text format with one point per line, storing coordinates plus optional colors. PCD is more structured and can include fields such as intensity. This site uses a dedicated viewer for each format.

Q

Do XYZ files store LiDAR intensity data?

A

XYZ typically stores coordinates and optional RGB colors, while intensity is more common in structured formats such as PCD or LAS. If you need intensity-based coloring, use the PCD viewer instead.
