[Interactive demo: Honeybee — a Gaussian splat published and curated on superspl.at](https://superspl.at/s?id=3ae6a716)

Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and click the numbered hotspots. This honeybee by [danylyon](https://superspl.at/user/danylyon) was cleaned in the [Editor](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/editor.md), published to [superspl.at](https://superspl.at), and annotated in [Studio](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/studio.md). Everything on this page is about doing the same with your own captures.

You can skip the Editor. Hit the orange **Upload Splat** button on the [superspl.at home page](https://superspl.at) or use [Direct Upload](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/upload.md) to publish a ready-made file straight to your [Manage page](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/manage.md).

## Your first splat in 10 minutes

1. **Load.** Open [superspl.at/editor](https://superspl.at/editor) and drop in your splat file. See [Import and Export](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/editor/import-export.md) for the supported formats.
2. **Clean.** Select stray floaters with the brush, sphere, or box selection tools and press <kbd>Delete</kbd>. See [Selection and Cleanup](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/editor/editing-splats.md).
3. **Publish.** Choose **File → Publish**. Your splat lands on your [Manage page](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/manage.md) with its own [scene page](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/scene-page.md). See [Publishing](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/editor/publishing.md).
4. **Curate.** Open it in [Studio](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/studio.md) to frame the camera, add annotations, and switch on post effects.
5. **Share.** Copy the scene link, grab the embed snippet, or set it to **Public** so it appears in [Explore](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/explore.md).

## How the pieces fit together

Some parts of SuperSplat you use as a creator, some your visitors use to view what you've made, and some are general-purpose utilities.

## Good to know

- **Everything runs in your browser.** The Editor loads splats locally and nothing is uploaded until you choose to publish. It needs a WebGPU-capable browser: current Chrome or Edge, Safari 26 or later, or Firefox with WebGPU enabled.
- **Browsing is anonymous.** A free PlayCanvas account is needed to publish, like, or comment. See [Account Creation](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/account-management/user-accounts/account-creation.md).
- **Open source at the core.** The [Editor](https://github.com/playcanvas/supersplat), the [Viewer](https://github.com/playcanvas/supersplat-viewer), and [splat-transform](https://github.com/playcanvas/splat-transform) (which powers Convert) are MIT-licensed. Studio, Manage, Explore, scene pages, and the publish API are hosted by PlayCanvas on superspl.at.
- **Publishing optimizes for you.** Every published splat is compressed to SOG, and splats over one million Gaussians are streamed progressively so they load fast on any device. See [Streaming & Performance](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/streaming.md).
- **You can host it yourself.** Export a single-file HTML viewer from the Editor or use the Viewer npm package. See [Self-Hosting the Viewer](https://developer.playcanvas.com/user-manual/supersplat/viewer/self-hosting.md).
