Where it wins
- Local browser processing keeps splat files from server upload.
- Viewer, metadata inspection, optimization, and conversion share one workflow.
- Exports .splat, .ply, PNG, JPG, and WEBP files plus scene thumbnails.
Where it doesn't
- Web-only deployment excludes native desktop workflows.
- Optimization is limited to sampling and low-opacity filtering controls.
- The workflow centers on splat files and still-image exports, not broad 3D editing.
Our verdict on SplatTools
SplatTools is a free, browser-based toolkit for 3D artists, developers, and researchers working with Gaussian splat files. It accepts .splat and Gaussian-splat .ply uploads, then provides a WebGL viewer with rotate, pan, zoom, point-size, and background controls. The same workspace exposes metadata such as splat count and file size, supports thumbnail generation, and exports scene views as images. No software installation or account is required.
Its strongest distinction is local browser processing. Files are handled without server upload, while the viewer and realtime rendering provide immediate scene inspection in a web environment. Optimization can reduce point data by sampling, keeping every Nth splat, or filtering low-opacity splats. SplatTools also converts PLY to SPLAT and SPLAT to PLY, giving a focused path from inspection to lighter files or alternate formats without moving assets through a separate service.
The published capabilities make SplatTools a practical utility rather than a broad 3D production suite. Export targets include .splat, .ply, PNG, JPG, and WEBP, covering common file conversion, thumbnail, and still-image needs. Its web deployment suits solo users and small to mid-market teams that want quick browser access and local handling. Teams seeking native desktop workflows, richer scene-authoring tools, or capabilities beyond splat-file processing and still exports should choose a more expansive application.
