PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dsurvey unification
PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dsurvey: Unifying our desktop experience
This article explains the upcoming consolidation of PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dsurvey into a single, enhanced platform, PIX4Dmatic, and how this change impacts your current license and feature access.
Info: This article will be regularly updated. Last update: Oct 30, 2025.
What's changing?
The core change is the unification of the two separate desktop applications into a single product.
- Single application: PIX4Dmatic will become the unified desktop application for both photogrammetry processing and surveying/vectorization workflows.
- New plans: New plans—Standard, Analyst, and Pro—will replace the former product licenses to reflect the feature access within the unified PIX4Dmatic application.
Impact on your current licenses and feature access
Your current feature access will be preserved under the new PIX4Dmatic plan structure. You will simply use the new PIX4Dmatic platform to access the features you currently have.
PIX4Dmatic will offer three types of access, corresponding to the license plan.
| Current license | New PIX4Dmatic license/plan | Access to features |
| PIX4Dmatic | PIX4Dmatic Standard | Retains all current PIX4Dmatic features |
| PIX4Dsurvey | PIX4Dmatic Analyst | Retains all current PIX4Dsurvey features |
| PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dsurvey | PIX4Dmatic Pro | Access to all PIX4Dmatic Standard and Analyst features - and more. |
Key benefits of the unified application
The new platform will offer new benefits:
| Benefit | Description |
| Boosted productivity | Simplify operations by reducing the need to export data or rely on separate software solutions |
| Simplified management | Manage a single application installation and a single license (for those with the Pro plan), reducing IT overhead, data duplication, and a simpler procurement process. |
| New capabilities |
The combined platform is more powerful than both products separately, enabling new capabilities and truly seamless workflows. Examples:
