PlayCanvas creator drops open-source 3DGS editor in the browser

SuperSplat 1.0 is a free, open-source 3D Gaussian Splatting editor built by PlayCanvas creator Will Eastcott that runs entirely inside your web browser.

Instead of downloading heavy desktop software or setting up a local graphics environment, you simply open a webpage and drag and drop your Gaussian splat PLY file to inspect the scene.

Quick cleanup right in the tab

The tool comes with an intuitive scene manager panel. You can easily isolate or hide splats, prune noisy background floaters, select specific points, and adjust the overall scene orientation.

Keep in mind this is an early release with clear trade-offs: SuperSplat currently only supports PLY files, and spherical harmonic data does not rotate on export, which can impact view-dependent lighting.

Why it matters

For 3D artists and web developers working with Gaussian splats, this removes the friction of firing up bulky local tools just to trim artifacts or check a capture. Anyone can now inspect and clean up models on virtually any machine.

While the export limitation means you might still need dedicated software for high-fidelity final pipelines, SuperSplat is a remarkably handy scratchpad for fast triage.
