Free online IFC viewer
Open IFC2x3 and IFC4 models in your browser. This free tool is for quick inspection—not a white-label or branded production viewer. Need branding, property panels, IoT overlays, or a custom OpenBIM experience? See our custom IFC viewer service.
- Supports IFC2x3 and IFC4 exports
- No install — runs in a modern WebGL browser
- Does not open native .rvt files
Limits & requirements
- Formats: IFC2x3 and IFC4 only — export native Revit (.rvt) to IFC first
- Browser: modern Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari with WebGL enabled
- File size: device-dependent; large models may need a desktop GPU and patience
- Not included: branding, SSO, property workflows, IoT overlays, or embed modules
- Privacy: files stay in your browser session — we do not upload them to BimEx servers
How to View IFC Files Online
- Upload your IFC file — Click the upload button or drag and drop your IFC file into the viewer.
- View your model — Your IFC model will load instantly in the browser. Navigate using mouse controls.
- Inspect elements — Click on any element to view its properties, or use the isolation tools to focus on specific parts.

Free IFC viewer FAQ
- Can I open a Revit (.rvt) file here?
- No. Export to IFC2x3 or IFC4 first. For native Revit / Navisworks / DWG in the browser, see our APS viewer service.
- Is this the same as a custom IFC engagement?
- No. This free tool is for quick inspection. Custom work adds branding, workflows, IoT, embeds, and handoff.
- Why is my model slow or blank?
- Check WebGL, file size, and IFC export settings. Dispose the current model before loading another. Very large exports may need a stronger machine.
- Do you store my IFC on your servers?
- No. The free viewer loads the file in your browser session. Custom projects use hosting you agree during discovery.
Need more than a free viewer?
We design white-label OpenBIM viewers with property panels, discipline filters, and embeddable modules—separate from this free tool.
