What survives the conversion
A file conversion is a translation, and formats do not carry the same things. Here is exactly what moves from SPLAT into LAS, and what does not.
| Geometry | Kept | Both formats store points, so the shape transfers directly. |
|---|---|---|
| Colors and materials | Kept | LAS carries per-vertex color, which is at least what SPLAT stores, so the colors come across. |
| Units and scale | Kept | LAS stores an explicit unit. SPLAT does not, so the size is taken from how the viewer read the file. Check the scale once on import. |
What the LAS writer emits: LAS 1.4, point data record format 2 (XYZ plus RGB), centered on the cloud’s own bounds with a millimeter scale factor. The file’s own real-world easting and northing are not restored to the header offset.
The source: Gaussian splat (.splat) (.splat)
The splats of an antimatter15 .splat capture (also written by SuperSplat and Luma): each one’s centre in its colour, as a point cloud of the splat centres. Splats are not surfaces, so the conversions are point clouds and pictures.
The target: LAS Point Cloud (.las)
The LiDAR and survey interchange format, with per-point color.
Opens in: CloudCompare, QGIS, ArcGIS, LAStools, PDAL.
Your file never leaves your computer
Both the SPLAT parser and the LAS writer are JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your own browser tab. There is no upload step, no server-side conversion queue, and no copy of your file anywhere but your machine. That matters for drawings under NDA, for client work, and for anything you would not email to a stranger.

Frequently asked questions
▶Is this SPLAT to LAS converter free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no per-file limit and no paid tier. Innerscene.
▶Is my SPLAT file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read with the browser file API and converted in the same tab. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly click Share, which is a separate, opt-in feature.
▶Will my colors and materials survive the LAS export?
LAS carries per-vertex color, which is at least what SPLAT stores, so the colors come across.
▶Will the LAS open at the right size?
LAS stores an explicit unit. SPLAT does not, so the size is taken from how the viewer read the file. Check the scale once on import.
▶How large an SPLAT file can I convert?
Up to 200 MB, and the ceiling adapts to how much memory your device reports. The conversion runs on your own hardware, so a desktop with plenty of RAM will handle more than a phone.
▶Can I convert LAS back to SPLAT?
Not here. We read SPLAT and write LAS, but not the reverse. the universal 3D viewer
▶Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. No plugin and no extension.
