Nira
Nira is a browser-based 3D collaboration platform that streams massive mesh, point cloud, Gaussian splat, and photogrammetry assets for real-time inspection, measurement, and markup on any device.
Field teams and design reviewers often receive a photogrammetry mesh or scan that is too heavy to open on a phone or share by email. Nira solves that by hosting the asset in the cloud and streaming only what each viewer needs, so stakeholders can orbit, measure, and annotate without installing desktop software.
The platform accepts common outputs from photogrammetry, reality capture, and DCC tools, then layers inspection workflows on top: georeferenced coordinates, orthophotos, volume and slope measurements, model comparison, PDF reports, and password-protected sharing links. Professional plans add embeddable viewers, user-based access controls, and custom branding for client-facing deliverables.
Construction, surveying, telecom, and heritage teams use Nira when they need fast visual QA rather than authoring new geometry. Pricing starts at $19 per month on an annual Individual plan, with a 15-day free trial and no credit card required to start (Nira, 2026).

Pros and cons
Pros
- Runs in any modern browser without a desktop install.
- 15-day free trial with no credit card required.
- Handles very large assets through cloud streaming rather than local file limits.
- Supports Gaussian splats and point clouds alongside traditional meshes.
Cons
- Not a BIM authoring or clash-detection platform; it focuses on viewing and inspection.
- Individual plan is limited to students, individuals, and single-person entities.
- On-prem or self-hosted deployments are reserved for larger Enterprise customers.
Key features
Web-based 3D viewer: Streams large triangle, point, texture, and Gaussian splat datasets in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers.
Inspection tools: Measure distances, slopes, and volumes; place 3D callouts, photo defects, markups, and annotations on hosted assets.
Reality capture support: Imports meshes and scans from photogrammetry tools such as Agisoft Metashape, ContextCapture, Pix4D, and DJI Terra via OBJ, PLY, FBX, glTF, and related formats.
Georeferencing and overlays: Displays georeferenced coordinates, orthophotos, and design overlays including DXF on hosted models.
Compare and report: Professional plans compare model versions or maps side by side and export PDF inspection reports.
Secure sharing: Per-asset passwords, user-based privacy on Professional plans, and Enterprise options for SSO, white label, and on-prem hosting.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Nira cost?
On annual billing, Nira Individual is $19 per month, Professional is $119 per month, and Enterprise is custom priced. Monthly billing is $24 for Individual and $149 for Professional. All plans include a 15-day free trial with no credit card required.
Does Nira have a free trial?
Yes. Nira offers a 15-day free trial on every plan. You can sign up, upload assets, and explore the viewer before subscribing, and Nira states that no credit card is required to start the trial.
What file formats does Nira support?
Nira accepts 3D meshes exported as OBJ, STL, PLY, ABC, DAE, FBX, glTF, or GLB, with OBJ recommended for many photogrammetry workflows. It also supports point clouds, Gaussian splats, textures, photos, orthomosaics, and DXF design overlays.
Can I use Nira on an iPhone or Android tablet?
Yes. Nira runs in mobile browsers on iOS and Android, as well as desktop browsers on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The product is designed so field teams can inspect models on phones and tablets without installing an app.
Nira vs Sketchfab or generic model viewers: what is it best for?
Nira targets professional inspection workflows on massive AEC and reality-capture assets, with georeferencing, measurement, slope and volume tools, model comparison, and PDF reports. Generic model hosts focus on lightweight presentation rather than field-grade QA on billion-polygon datasets.
Who should use Nira on construction projects?
Nira fits contractors, owners, surveyors, and drone operators who need to share site captures for remote review. Typical jobs include progress checks, defect markup, stockpile volume checks, and client walkthroughs of photogrammetry or scan data.
