"Get3DCapture has completely transformed the way I start my architectural site analysis. Within minutes, I have a complete context model directly in my active Rhino viewport that used to take days to build."

"The resolution of the textures is strictly incredible. You get the exact same high-quality textures that you see in Google Earth, seamlessly mapped onto the imported geometry in SketchUp."

Marcus Lindström

SketchUp Pro User

"I honestly can't believe how smooth the standalone app is. I use it to bring real-world city blocks directly into Unity. Being able to just open it, capture the zone I need, and drop the GLB straight into my scene is an absolute lifesaver."

Can I cancel my plan?▼
Yes, you can cancel your plan renewal at any time through our billing portal here. The Lifetime plan is a one-time payment and requires no cancellation.
How often can I capture?▼
With the Free plan, you get 1 capture per day. The Monthly and Lifetime plans offer unlimited captures for all your project needs.
Can you help me if I'm unable to capture a specific site?▼

how to get the max quality?▼
For better quality, zoom out in the browser (up to around 25%). Lower zoom levels generally produce higher quality captures, but may increase import time or system load.
