Polycam Photogrammetry is a web-based software platform that lets users generate 3D models by uploading images or videos. The tool processes the input to reconstruct detailed 3D meshes, which can be edited, stored, and exported in multiple formats for use in popular 3D modeling applications. It supports inputs from cameras, smartphones, and drones, and is accessible via web and mobile apps. The service is free to use, with optional Pro features for advanced export and unlimited captures.
