Embed 3D Gaussian Splatting on Your Website

No. The embedded viewer runs entirely in the browser using WebGL. Visitors only need a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) with hardware acceleration enabled. Mobile devices are supported but may have slower rendering for large scenes.

Your file must be hosted at a publicly accessible URL with CORS headers (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *). Cloud storage services like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Cloudflare R2 with public bucket settings work well. The URL must be a direct link to the file, not a download page.

SPZ is the best format for web embedding. It provides 5-10x compression over raw PLY while preserving spherical harmonics, resulting in fast load times and high visual quality. If you only have a PLY or SPLAT file, compress it to SPZ first using our compression tool.

WordPress: yes, use the Custom HTML block to paste the iframe code. Squarespace: yes, use the Code block or Embed block. Notion: partial support — Notion allows iframe embeds but may restrict some features. For best results, test the embed on your specific platform.

There is no hard limit, but practical limits apply. Files over 100 MB will be slow to load for visitors on mobile connections. For the best user experience, keep embedded scenes under 50 MB (SPZ) or under 2 million Gaussians. Larger scenes should be optimized or cropped before embedding.

Yes. The embed code supports width, height, and background color parameters. You can also wrap the iframe in a styled container to add borders, shadows, or rounded corners. The viewer itself has orbit controls, zoom, and pan built in.

Load time depends on file size and the visitor's connection speed. An SPZ file under 20 MB typically loads in 2-5 seconds on broadband. A raw PLY file of the same scene (200+ MB) can take over a minute. For the fastest embedded experience, compress your files to SPZ format before embedding.
