Project processed via project wizard in PIX4Dcloud

When creating a new dataset to process on PIX4Dcloud, the following standard outputs (with default formats) can be generated and made available for their web visualization, according to the Processing options selected in step 4.

Output	Extension	Description
Orthomosaic	.tif	Orthomosaic file.
DSM	.tif	DSM file.
Point cloud	.laz	Point Cloud file(s).
3D mesh	.obj	OBJ 3D Mesh with texture files.
Quality report	.pdf	Quality report of the project.
Log file	.log	Application logs, generally used for troubleshooting.

Project processed via PIX4Dcatch

When processing a project via PIX4Dcatch, the following standard outputs (with default formats) can be generated and made available for their web visualization.

	3D mesh	.obj	OBJ 3D Mesh with texture files.
PIX4Dfields/PIX4Dreact	Orthomosaic / DSM / Index	.tif	Orthomosaic file / DSM file / Indexes (BNDVI, GNDVI, CLI, NDVI)

Project uploaded from PIX4Dmapper to PIX4Dcloud

A wider variety of formats and outputs can be generated and processing options selected if the project files are uploaded from PIX4Dmapper. More information on customized processing options in How to customize the options for processing on PIX4Dcloud. A full list of downloadable files is available in How to download the results from PIX4Dcloud.

Output	Extension	Description
Orthomosaic	.tif	Orthomosaic file.
DSM	.tif	DSM file.
Point cloud	.las	Point Cloud file(s).
3D mesh	.obj	OBJ 3D Mesh with texture files.
Quality report	.pdf, .xml	Quality report of the project.
Log file	.log	Application logs, generally used for troubleshooting.

Post-processing results and workflows

Annotation files

After the dataset is processed on PIX4Dcloud and/or available for its web visualization, annotations can be added and later on exported to third-party software or to other PIX4Dcloud datasets.

More information on how to export annotations and which formats are supported for their export in How to export/import annotations.

Download/Export results

Outputs from PIX4Dcloud can be downloaded individually or as a results folder. More information on how to export outputs in Download/Export. When accessing the project via share link, this feature is not available.

Outputs from PIX4Dcloud can be shared for collaboration purposes. For more information: Share.

Note: Outputs and project files generated by PIX4Dcloud are kept under the PIX4Dcloud account according to the terms of the PIX4Dcloud storage expiration policy.
