Convert LAZ to GLTF Online
Convert LAZ to GLTF in seconds. LAZ is a compressed variant of the LAS LiDAR format; glTF's strength is this: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery. No software installation required — everything runs in your browser.

Why Convert LAZ to GLTF?
glTF is the JSON-based "JPEG of 3D", built around human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description. Converting from LAZ — built around aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage instead — closes that gap.
glTF was built around human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description, which is precisely the gap LAZ leaves open, since it's designed around aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage instead.
Our engine reads a file built around aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage and rebuilds it aiming to preserve this: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery — rather than producing a generic, lowest-common-denominator result.
How to Convert LAZ to glTF
- Upload your LAZ file.
- MiConvert converts it to GLTF, aiming to preserve what makes glTF useful: an open, widely-adopted standard for real-time 3D delivery.
- Download the converted GLTF file.
- Use it directly with Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern web 3D viewers.
Key Conversion Features
- Built to handle the real-world quirks of files meant for aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage, not just a textbook version of the format
- Purpose-built for the shift from aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage to human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description, not a generic pass-through
- Fast turnaround, typically under a minute per file
- Free for files up to 50MB, 100MB for registered accounts
- Bridges the gap between LAZ's focus on aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage and glTF's focus on human-readable, inspectable real-time 3D scene description

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this conversion free?
Yes — free for files up to 50MB, with a 100MB limit for registered accounts, no subscription required.
Can I convert the file back from GLTF to LAZ afterward?
Only what glTF actually carries can come back — anything specific to LAZ's role in aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage that didn't survive the original conversion won't reappear.
Do I need any special settings before uploading my LAZ file?
No special setup is required — upload the file as-is. LAZ files meant for aerial and terrestrial laser-scanning survey data, compressed for storage convert most predictably; unusually exported or non-standard files are the most common reason a specific one might need extra attention.
What happens to features specific to LAZ that GLTF doesn't have?
LAZ's real strength — the same LiDAR data as LAS at a fraction of the file size — has no equivalent once converted, since glTF's constraint is: splits geometry, materials, and textures across separate files.
Do I need surveying and geospatial software installed to convert my file?
No — the conversion happens entirely on our servers. You don't need surveying and geospatial software, and you don't need Three.js, Babylon.js, and most modern web 3D viewers either unless you plan to open or edit the glTF result afterward.
