      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.

      Output Extension Description

      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.

      Share

      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.
