Why Developers Choose GLBKit for LAS
GLBKit renders ASPRS LAS LiDAR point clouds in the browser with intensity, classification, and RGB when present. It is useful for surveying, GIS, and LiDAR inspection without desktop GIS software.
Browser Based LAS
Open LAS LiDAR files directly in your browser without installing software.
Local File Processing
Process compatible LAS files locally on your device.
Fast Point Cloud Rendering
Render LAS point clouds with GPU-accelerated WebGL.
Surveying & GIS
Inspect airborne, terrestrial, and mobile LiDAR surveys.
ASPRS-Standard Fields
View intensity, classification, RGB, and GPS time when present.
No Server Upload
Inspect LAS files without uploading them to a remote server.
About this format
LAS is the industry-standard format for LiDAR point clouds, defined by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). It is used for airborne, terrestrial, and mobile LiDAR in surveying, forestry, and GIS. GLBKit renders .las files in the browser so you can inspect survey clouds, classified points, and RGB color without installing GIS software.
What is a .las file?
.las is a binary LiDAR point cloud format defined by ASPRS. It stores x/y/z, intensity, classification, GPS time, and optional RGB color for every point.
LAS is the standard delivery format for airborne and terrestrial LiDAR surveys. It is widely supported by CAD, GIS, and surveying software.
- Binary LiDAR point cloud format from ASPRS
- Stores x/y/z, intensity, classification, GPS time, RGB
- Standard for airborne, terrestrial, and mobile LiDAR
- Industry standard in surveying, forestry, and GIS
Common uses for LAS files
LAS is the lingua franca of LiDAR. Every surveyor, forester, and GIS analyst works with LAS files.
- Airborne and terrestrial LiDAR surveys
- Forestry and vegetation analysis
- GIS and terrain modelling
- Infrastructure and corridor mapping
How GLBKit renders .las files
GLBKit parses the LAS header and point records in the browser and renders the point cloud with WebGL. Classification, intensity, and RGB are preserved where present.
- Drop a .las file to start
- Orbit, pan, and zoom with mouse, touch, or pen
- RGB color and intensity preserved
- No upload, no signup, fully local processing
GLBKit capabilities for .las
GLBKit is a viewer for LAS point clouds. You can inspect geometry, color, and intensity, but you cannot run classification or filtering in the viewer.
- Point cloud rendering with RGB and intensity
- Inspect LiDAR surveys and classified points
- Efficient rendering for large clouds
- Process files locally in the browser
Who uses GLBKit for .las files
LAS is everywhere in geospatial. GLBKit is the fastest way to open a .las file in a browser without QGIS or ArcGIS.
- Surveyors and geomatics engineers
- Foresters and ecologists
- GIS analysts and cartographers
- Infrastructure and corridor mapping teams
