July 8th, 2026 -Enhanced Processing Orchestration, UI Improvements, and Core Stability Fixes 

What's new: 

  •  After PIX4Dcloud finishes processing a dataset, a survey about the quality of the results may appear. 

Improvements:

  •  Improved the image selection step in the dataset creation wizard with a better balance between the image list and map, making it easier to review selected images.  
  •  Improved Gaussian splats generation with tighter regions of interest for drone and mixed projects to reduce blurry surroundings. 
  •  Improved processing orchestration so PIX4Dcloud can better respond to spikes in processing demand and move projects through processing states faster. 
  •  Updated the user menu with clearer organization, refreshed icons, and easier access to documentation, demo projects, training, community, privacy settings, and the support chatbot. 

Changes:

  •  Data retention notification emails are now sent to both Owners and Managers of an Organization, in addition to the Organization’s email contacts. 

Bug fixes: 

  •  Fixed the issue where an organization removal email was sent when someone’s access license or resource was downgraded. 
  •  Fixed the issue where annotations could be unexpectedly deleted or the web UI’s editors could display the content of a different dataset after someone with edit permissions opened a dataset using a read-only link 
  •  Fixed issue where annotations did not snap to IFC design overlays in the 3D editor unless another 3D layer was also active.  
  •  Fixed the issue where processing failed when the dataset’s coordinate reference system was arbitrary, i.e., engineering CRS.  
  •  Fixed the issue where the dataset’s location in the drive’s map was sometimes incorrect for datasets using a left-handed coordinate reference system. 
  •  Fixed the issue where “Focus on Annotation” did not move the camera for projects created with a site-localized CRS. 
  •  Fixed the issue where the dataset creation wizard silently failed to create a site with a name that is longer than 100 characters.  
  •  Fixed processing failures for datasets with mixed image resolutions. 
  •  Fixed the issue where processing failed when the dataset included blank PIX4Dcatch depth maps. 
  •  Fixed the issue where a point cloud unexpectedly remained visible in the web UI’s 3D editor after it was replaced. 
  •  Fixed the issue where manually uploaded 3D textured meshes could appear pixelated in the 3D editor.  

July 7th, 2026 - Inspector reliability, layer visibility, and drive UI enhancements

Improvements:

  • Drive action menu items now display distinct icons and labels so users can clearly tell apart moving a dataset within the directory tree and linking or assigning it to a site. 

Changes:

  • The field previously named “name” is now labeled “label” across the product.
  • The point size of datasets uploaded from PIX4Dcatch to PIX4Dcloud has been set to 2 for better visualization.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed the issue where the inspect tool stopped working after switching between projects within the same site. 
  • Fixed the issue where the Virtual Inspector continued to show images from a previously active dataset after switching datasets on a site. 
  • Fixed the issue where the image selection header and “Add images” button disappeared when scrolling through a long image list in the dataset creation wizard. 
  • Fixed the issue where annotation reports displayed internal IDs instead of user-facing labels. 
  • Fixed the issue where some child layers (including Autotags and Annotations) remained visible in the web UI’s 3D editor after their parent layer was deactivated in the layers list. 
  • Fixed the issue where the Autotags layer checkbox in compare mode did not correctly control the visibility of its child checkboxes. 

June 26th, 2026 - UI Enhancements, Bug Fixes, and API Updates 

Changes:

  •  When searching in PIX4Dcloud’s drive, the results no longer include datasets that are assigned to a site; instead, search for the site 
  •  API credentials are no longer associated with a specific license. 
  •  The Detection of the GCPs failed email will be discontinued in July 2026. More information about control points is in the Quality report after processing is complete. 

Bug fixes:

  •  Fixed the issue where one or more people could be unexpectedly removed from an organization after switching to another organization.  

  •  Fixed the issue where inspection or marker annotations could not be selected in the web UI’s 3D editor. 
  •  Fixed the issue where an organization member with the minimum permissions required could not generate an annotations report. 
  •  Fixed the issue where parts of the orthomosaic sometimes disappeared or flickered in the web UI’s 2D editor when zoomed in.  

April 29th, 2026 - Enhanced 3D Visualization, Improved Processing Efficiency, and UI Refinements

Improvements:

  • Reduced processing time for datasets with especially large number of 2D keypoint matches.

  • Increased the maximum number of image marks that can be added to a dataset and processed.

Changes:

  • “Volume difference” is named “Net volume”.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed the issue where the web UI’s 3D editor sometimes did not automatically zoom to the 3D textured mesh after clicking Focus on 3D Textured Mesh in the layers list.
  • Fixed the issue where SLPK point clouds were rendered at an unexpected elevation when the PIX4Dcloud dataset’s coordinate reference system did not have a vertical component.
  • Fixed the issue where reconstructions were sometimes unexpectedly cropped vertically when generating Gaussian splats with a region of interest and a non-metric coordinate reference system. 
  • Fixed the issue where compare more rendered DXF design overlays on both sides of the slider. 
  • Fixed the issue where annotations snapped to hidden annotations while holding Shift. 
  • Fixed the issue where a volume measurement was not rendered when it was behind a transparent IFC design overlay or 3D textured mesh.
  • Fixed the issue where annotations snapped to a marker annotation’s icon, annotation measurements, or annotation labels.
  • Fixed the issue where the web UI’s 3D editor sometimes did not render the highest level of detail available for a 3D textured mesh. 

February 16th, 2026 - SLPK projection support for ArcGIS Online

What's new:

  • ArcGIS Online integration now supports projecting SLPK 3D textured meshes to WKID: 3857 - Web Mercator, allowing proper alignment with ArcGIS Online’s default global scene basemaps.

February 13th, 2026 - Support for new server cluster (Switzerland)

What's new:

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed the issue where DXF design overlay layers could be reordered in the web UI’s 2D/3D editor layers list.

  • Fixed the issue where it was not possible to open or download individual images with the web UI. 

January 21st, 2026 - Support for new server clusters

What's new:

Improvements:

  • More comprehensive and clearly defined 2D background maps. 

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed the issue where the Transfer to ArcGIS Online integration sometimes failed to transfer especially large files.

  • Fixed the issue where the point cloud sometimes flickered or reloaded in the 3D compare mode.
  • Fixed the issue where the web UI’s 3D editor sometimes rendered Autotags in front of Gaussian splats.
  • Fixed the issue where the web UI’s 2D editor sometimes displayed triangle-shaped artifacts while rendering orthomosaics.

January 16th, 2026 - Enhanced 3D Editing, Seamless Credit Processing, and Improved Layer Alignment

Improvements:

  • The web UI’s 3D editor does not render points that were disabled and then uploaded with PIX4Dmatic.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed the issue where annotations created with PIX4Dcatch while collecting a dataset were not consistently aligned with other layers.

  • Fixed the issue where some orthomosaic GeoTIFFS could not be downloaded during the retention period.
  • Fixed the issue where processing would not start automatically after buying credits. 
  • Fixed the issue where PIX4Dcloud Pro Professor license owners could not access Pro features.
