Converts 3DGS files into RAD files for use with WebODM. Drag a .ply in the window and
press Convert.
Accepts .ply (including compressed), .spz, .splat, .ksplat,
.sog / .sogs / .zip, and .rad. Output is always a single .rad written
next to the input: scene.ply becomes scene-lod.rad.

splat-tools /path/to/scene.ply| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--quality |
bhatt-lod, base 1.75: slower, better merges. Default. |
--quick |
tiny-lod, base 1.5: much faster, slightly coarser. |
--gsplat |
Higher-precision in-memory splats. Default. |
--csplat |
Compact in-memory splats; less RAM on very large scenes. |
--validate |
Stop if the input has non-finite splats. Without it they are dropped and conversion carries on. |
--inflate |
Rescale so output opacity stays within 0–1. |
--unlod |
Flatten a <name>-lod.rad back to plain splats. |
-o, --output <PATH> |
Override output path |
-q, --quiet |
Only report failures and the final summary. |
-h, --help / -V, --version |
