PC Potree Converter

A local Windows helper for converting LAS/LAZ files into Potree point clouds, then opening them in the Potree viewer.

Why This Is Separate

The website can show Potree clouds, but the actual conversion needs to run on your PC because Potree conversion writes a full folder of octree files. This app runs locally and does not upload your files.

How To Use It

Install Node.js LTS on your PC.
Install PotreeConverter for Windows.
Download or clone the repo folder named pc-potree-converter.
Double-click start-windows.bat.
Open http://localhost:8787, drag a LAS/LAZ file onto the drop box, and convert.
For very large files, you can still paste the full Windows file path instead.
C:\Users\you\Desktop\train.laz

PotreeConverter Path

If Windows cannot find PotreeConverter, edit start-windows.bat and add:

set POTREE_CONVERTER=C:\Tools\PotreeConverter\PotreeConverter.exe
Open Converter Folder On GitHub Open Potree Viewer Open Raw LAS Viewer
