LiDAR Kit Keeps Point-Cloud Conversion on Your Machine

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based toolkit for converting LAS and LAZ point-cloud files, classifying data, and viewing LiDAR and GeoTIFF files without uploading them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The converter determines direction from the supplied extension, previews the file header, and produces the opposite format after a user-triggered conversion. Its implementation uses the browser File API, WebAssembly, and a Web Worker rather than a server upload. The page specifically calls out preservation of VLRs and EVLRs, where coordinate-reference information may live, and describes support for multi-gigabyte files through chunked reads and disk-backed output.
