Free phone 3D scanner with Gaussian splatting and mesh export
Scaniverse is a free 3D scanning app from Niantic that reconstructs objects and spaces from phone footage on the device. It supports both textured mesh output and Gaussian splatting, which captures tricky surfaces such as foliage, glass and reflective materials that traditional photogrammetry tends to lose. Scans can be cropped and cleaned in the app, published to a browsable map of public scans, or exported as mesh, splat or point cloud files. Because processing happens locally and the app is free, it is the easiest way to test whether phone scanning fits a workflow.

A scene representation made of many small 3D blobs rather than a polygon mesh. It renders reflective, transparent and organic surfaces far more convincingly than mesh reconstruction, at the cost of larger files.
Yes, scanning and export are free. The trade-off is that processing is limited to what a phone can handle, so very large or complex scenes may need a desktop solution instead.
The app itself does not lock exports behind a licence, but you should confirm the terms for the specific content you scan and check whether the material or location carries its own restrictions.
