Inputs for processing
Pix4Dcloud inputs for processing are:
Note: A .p4d file containing customized processing options can also be uploaded to Pix4Dcloud if the project is created on the Pix4Dmapper and from there uploaded for processing. More information in: How to upload project files from Pix4Dmapper to Pix4Dcloud.
Images
- At least 6 images are required.
- The following formats are supported.
Warning: Do not modify images, i.e. do not rotate or edit the images. Modifying images alters the geometrical properties of the camera and may deteriorate the quality of the results.
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| .jpg, .jpeg | JPEG images |
| .tif, .tiff | Monochromatic TIFF Multi-band TIFF (RGB / Infrared / thermal) 1 layer (no pyramid, no multi-page) 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 bit integer, floating point |
Note: Orthomosaic cannot be generated from .tiff images with 10, 12 and 14 bits-per-sample pixels. Please note that this applies only for orthomosaic, not reflectance and index map.
Note: For technical limitations with our server, the maximum number of input images that can be processed per project on Pix4Dcloud is equal to 4000.
Ground Control Points (GCPs) file
Important: This type of file can be uploaded to Pix4Dcloud Advanced only in order to automatically detected GCPs and mark them on the images.
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| .csv | A text file containing from four to seven columns per line and a comma (,) to separate the values. |
More information about GCPs requirements in: AutoGCPs detection functionality
Note: The only way to include GCPs on Pix4Dcloud is to upload the project files from Pix4Dmapper. A detailed workflow is described in How to use GCPs for processing on Pix4Dcloud.
Inputs for visualization
A dataset can consist of uploaded results only. In this case, no images are processed but the uploaded files are processed for their web-visualization and optimization. More information on how to upload results and outputs in: How to upload results and outputs to Pix4Dcloud.

What is the maximum megapixel size of an image that can be processed in Pix4D Cloud? I keep reading about the number of images limit, but never the size of images. I'm scoping out the options for mapping with a 150mp camera
Hi David,
Which camera are you using?
4000 is the technical limit for the size of a project on Pix4Dcloud but this value has been defined based on a standard resolution value. 930 images at 150 MP will not process successfully on our Cloud servers.
A large-frame add-on can be purchased for our desktop product, Pix4Dmapper, but 930 images at this resolution is more than a challenge. You can contact sales if you want to try this option or you might want to consider other solutions (UltraMap, Inpho, LPS, ...)
