Connect to ArcGIS from PIX4Dcloud

To connect PIX4Dcloud to ArcGIS Online:

  1. Log in with Pix4D credentials at cloud.pix4d.com.

  2. In PIX4Dcloud Drive, click the user icon in the top-right corner.

  3. Click Integrations.

  4. Under 3rd party integrations > Esri integration, click Connect.

  5. On the Esri login page, enter the ArcGIS credentials and sign in.

    1. ArcGIS_connect

  6. After successful authentication, the Integrations page confirms the connection to ArcGIS.

    1. Integration_boton_user_icon

  7. Return to PIX4Dcloud Drive, click the user icon, and verify that the account is connected.


Information: Once established, the ArcGIS connection remains valid for 14 days from the last transfer action. After this inactivity period, the connection must be re-established.

Transfer outputs from a dataset to ArcGIS Online

To transfer outputs to ArcGIS Online:

  1. Open the desired dataset in PIX4Dcloud.

  2. On the top bar, click Transfer.

  3. In the Export dialog, select the outputs to transfer to ArcGIS Online.
    The number of selected files is displayed.

  4. Click # Transfers, where the number corresponds to the selected outputs.

    1. Transfer_output_select_arcgis

  5. Select the destination folder in ArcGIS.

    1. Transfer_popup

  6. Click Send to start the transfer.

The transfer duration depends on the number and size of the selected files.

Note: If both ArcGIS and Trimble integrations are connected, outputs from the same dataset can be transferred to either platform. Use the Transfer switcher to select the destination platform.

Warning: Pix4D products do not currently support generating outputs in World Mercator or Pseudo Mercator horizontal coordinate systems. As a result, .slpk files are not compatible with the default ArcGIS Online Scene coordinate system. Since ArcGIS Scenes do not support reprojection, the .slpk coordinate system must be converted in ArcGIS Pro before reimporting to ensure correct alignment.

Disconnect from ArcGIS Online

To disconnect the ArcGIS Online integration:

  1. Log in at cloud.pix4d.com.

  2. In PIX4Dcloud Drive, click the user icon.

  3. Click Integrations.

  4. Select Disconnect under the Esri integration.

Transfer file size limitations

Transfers exceeding the following limits may not be supported:

  • Point cloud (.slpk): 4 GB

  • DSM (.tiff): 1.7 GB

  • Orthomosaic (.tiff): 4.7 GB
