share links sent through Swyvl get opened by the person who received them.
And every upload files itself against the site it came from, dated and logged.

How it works
Your capture tools already produce the files. Swyvl makes them openable.
No conversion, no preprocessing, and no plugin for the person on the other end.

Swyvl
- Reads the format and the metadata. Nothing to convert.
- Files it against the site it came from, and the date it was captured.
- Opens it in the right viewer, out of 18.
- Wraps it in one branded link.
- Logs every view, and revokes access the second you say so.
Next visit, the new files land against the same site. The record grows without anyone filing anything.
Who opens it
- Your client, on whatever device is in front of them, with no account
- The project team, in any browser, seeing exactly what you see
- The asset owner, years after the contract ended
- Whoever inherits the building, long after everyone has moved on
No CloudCompare. No Recap. No Potree install. No 40 GB download, and no "which viewer do I need".
The difference
What happens to your site captures today. And what should happen instead.
Your client downloads gigabytes and has nothing that opens them. The capture that impressed everyone never gets seen.
Everything opens in the browser — orbit, pan, walk through. No account, no install, on any device.
Files scattered across Dropbox, WeTransfer, and shared drives.
One permanent home for every capture at every site.
They can't open the LAS, the GeoTIFF, the IFC you sent.
Point clouds, orthos, BIM, drone video, all in any browser.
Last year's visit to this site is anyone's guess.
A time-indexed record of every capture, anchored on the map.
No audit trail, a problem for regulated industries.
Full audit log: who accessed what, when, from where.
Looks like you dumped files on someone.
Looks like you built them a custom share link, and the site's record builds in the background.
Why it compounds
Deliver today. Remember for as long as the site exists.
We're not the analysis layer. We're the record underneath it.
Deliver
Send a scan, an orthomosaic, a walkthrough. They open it in a browser, on any device, with no account and nothing to install.
Remember
Every delivery lands against the site it came from, dated. Months later that site isn't a folder of files — it's a history you can read.
Where this goes
Over time the record becomes answerable — by your team, and by the tools they already use. That's what filing every capture against a site and a date is building toward.
Every visit adds to the same site record — anchored to the place and the date it was captured.
Who it's for
The people who capture it. The people who own it.
Built for the people who capture. Designed for the people who own the asset.
Construction & engineering →
Contractors, engineering consultancies, in-house capture teams
Every progress survey and as-built scan filed against the site, for the whole project team and for whoever inherits the building.
Capture professionals →
Surveyors, drone operators, scanning teams
Deliver a scan your client opens in a browser. Branded, tracked, nothing to install, and no more "can you send it as a PDF instead".
Asset owners & utilities →
Utilities, mining, infrastructure, facilities
Every contractor's delivery in one place you control, with a record of who opened what and access you can pull the moment a contract ends.
Every site
A site, not a folder of files.
Every site you create in Swyvl is a place on a map that accumulates dated visits. Drone video, point clouds, photos and plans all land against the location they came from, and open in any browser. No software install. No plugins.
Every file is anchored to its site and the day it was captured — so a site isn't a folder of files, it's a record that grows with every visit.
Sites on a map
Every project pinned by location. Click into a site for an interactive map with toggleable layers, GPX tracks, and your own drone orthomosaic as the base map.
Timeline of captures
Every drone flight, LiDAR scan, photo session and inspection, grouped by the date it was captured rather than the date it was uploaded.
18 in-browser viewers
Point clouds, orthos, 360°, drone video with GPS, BIM, CAD and splats, each opening in the viewer built for it.
Branded share links
Invite clients, contractors and colleagues. They open one link, see the site and every file on it, and never make an account.
In the browser
What does your client see when they click the link?
18 viewer types, 40+ file formats. No conversion, no preprocessing. Drag in files from any capture or processing tool and Swyvl picks the right viewer. Several of these you can try right now, on your own file, without signing up.
Don't see your file type or viewer? We're always adding new formats. Let us know what you need and we'll add it.
Works with the file formats every major capture and processing tool exports — LAS, LAZ, E57, GeoTIFF, OBJ, GLB, IFC, DXF, and more. No plugins, no integrations.
Inside the workspace
Four things it does that a folder cannot.
Everything you need to build a record of every site, and to know what happened to it after you sent it.
Files classify themselves
Drop in 400 files from a week on site. Swyvl identifies each one and picks the viewer. LAS to the point cloud viewer, GeoTIFF to the map, video to the player. Nobody renames a folder.
You see every view
A time-indexed audit trail for every site: who opened it, which files they looked at, when they came back, whether they approved. Essential for regulated work in mining, infrastructure and government contracts.
It looks like you built it
Your logo and your colours on every link. Public, password protected or invite only, and you can change that after you have sent it.
Your data stays where you put it
Eight regions: Australia, US East, US West, UK, Europe, Canada, Japan and Singapore. Chosen at signup, permanent, and your data never leaves it.
Common questions
The things people ask before they sign up.
How do I share a point cloud with a client who has no software?
Upload the LAS, LAZ or E57 to the site it belongs to, then create a share link. Swyvl converts large scans to COPC and streams them, so your client clicks one URL and orbits the scan in their browser instead of downloading gigabytes they cannot open. Try it free with your own file.
Do I have to convert or process files before uploading?
No. Upload what your capture or processing software exported. Swyvl reads the format, extracts the metadata and picks the viewer. Any conversion that is needed happens on our side.
How do I upload 3D Tiles or a Gaussian splat?
Zip the 3D Tiles folder and upload the ZIP; Swyvl extracts it and loads it on a 3D globe. Gaussian splats upload directly as PLY, SPZ, KSPLAT or .splat and the format is detected from the file header. Xgrids LCC2 packages upload as a ZIP too. Open the free splat viewer.
Does the person I send the link to need an account?
No. A share link opens for anyone who has it, with nothing to install and no login. You can add a password or restrict it to named people, and you can change that after the link has gone out.
Can I see whether my client opened it, and can I revoke access?
Yes to both. Every view is logged with the time, the file and where it was opened from, and you are notified the moment a link is first opened. Revoke a link and it stops working the same second.
I receive data from several contractors. How does that work?
Invite each contractor as an editor. Their deliveries land in your workspace, against your sites, under your account rather than theirs. When the contract ends their access ends and the data stays with you. More for asset owners.
What does it cost, and is there a free plan?
The free plan covers 3 sites, 5 GB and 5 share links, with no credit card. Paid plans start at $49 a month for unlimited sites, more storage and your own branding. See pricing.
How is this different from sending a Dropbox or WeTransfer link?
A file-sharing link gives your client a download they often cannot open. Swyvl opens the file itself in the browser, files it against the site it came from with a date on it, and tells you who looked at what. Swyvl vs Dropbox.

Co-Founder, Swyvl
I've spent years in the field — in underground mines, on the Great Barrier Reef, in hot air balloons over outback Australia — capturing the world in 3D. The technology to capture data got incredible. How we delivered it to clients never changed. Swyvl is us fixing that.
Before co-founding Swyvl, Alex co-founded Lateral Vision — a 3D visualization and virtual tour company that contracted to Google Street View, delivered projects for major global mining companies, and spent nearly a decade proving that spatial data can be experienced, not just stored.
