Mac OS icon Mac OS 64 bits Thanks to Andy Maloney, MacOS apps are available here
Linux icon Linux 64 bits Now thanks to Alberto Mardegan (and Romain Janvier), there is a "universal" snap package for Linux.
On Ubuntu, starting from version 16.04 it's as simple as typing "snap install cloudcompare".
On other distributions, you may need to install snap first (please refer to the corresponding documentation if necessary).
Snaps are published in 3 channels: "stable", "beta", and "edge".
The "stable" and the "beta" channel deliver the latest stable and beta versions of CloudCompare while "edge" delivers nightly builds and may eat your laundry. You can switch at any time between these three channels by launching "sudo snap refresh --<channel name>" in your terminal.
Get it from the Snap Store
Github iconSources git repository: https://github.com/cloudcompar/cloudcompare
(for compilation instructions, refer to the BUILD.md file)

The wiki documentation is also up-to-date!


Your support is greatly appreciated. Many thanks to all our supporters who made donations

The 2.10 Zephyrus version is finally ready!
(for those who wonder who/what is Zephyrus)


Once again, many new things in this release. We also tried to improve the existing tools and made a lot of cleanup behind the scenes.

It took us some time to achieve this new release due to an increased workload for all of us. Luckily we have also new contributors!

(as always, make sure your graphic card drivers are not too old: since version 2.7, old Intel or ATI graphic cards are not supported anymore)

Your support is really appreciated!

We just want to remind to our users that CloudCompare is not "free". It's true that downloading and using CloudCompare can be done freely and free of charge... but developping and maintaining it is certainly not free! Open source projects can't live without active support from the community.
