Everything you need to create laser art

A complete design-to-projection toolkit — all in your browser.

Visual Design

Rectangles, ellipses, polygons, lines, paths, text with font selection, abstract patterns, and 3D wireframes. Drag-and-drop canvas with multi-select, lasso, snap-to-grid, and undo/redo.

Real-Time Effects

Rotation, zoom, oscillation, colour cycling, wave, audio-reactive, 3D tumble, prism, clone, spatial rainbow, tunnel zoom, and more. Stack multiple effects on any shape and see results instantly.

Shape & Preset Library

A growing library of ready-to-use shapes — beam fans, grids, bursts, spectrum visualisers, Lissajous figures, rose curves, spirographs, harmonographs, cycloids, and 3D wireframes.

Audio-Reactive

Import audio, detect BPM and beats, then drive laser effects from bass, mid, treble, or amplitude. Sync frame playback to audio or run freeform. AI-powered show generation from music.

Multi-Device Output

EtherDream and IDN DAC support with per-projector configuration. Geometry, colour, blanking, scan zone, and profile management — each venue's calibration is one click away.

Performance Mode

26-slot cue pages triggered by keyboard (Q-M) or Art-Net DMX. Build cue libraries, assign to pages, and perform live with instant cue switching and animated previews.

Live Canvas

Freehand drawing streamed directly to laser hardware in real-time. Six brush types — pen, marker, glow, dotted, rainbow, and text. Built for live performances.

Collaborative Editing

Multiple users can edit the same workspace simultaneously. Shape changes sync in real-time via WebSocket — perfect for teams building shows together.

ILDA & SVG Import/Export

Drag-and-drop ILDA files (.ild/.ilda) or SVG vector graphics. Export your shows as standard ILDA for any laser software, or save portable CloudLase workspace archives.

Design Canvas

Design with precision

Place shapes, draw curves, and build complex laser frames with an intuitive visual editor. Snap-to-grid, multi-select with lasso, and full undo/redo.

Rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, lines, paths, and freeform text with font selection
Import ILDA files and SVGs with drag-and-drop — or export your work as standard ILDA
Layer management with drag-to-reorder, copy/paste, and keyboard shortcuts

screenshot-presets.png

Shape Library

Presets for every style

A growing library of ready-to-use shapes and presets. From classic beam fans to cycloids with dual-oscillator colour modulation — just click and project.

Beam fans, grids, bursts, and spinning prisms for aerial beam shows
Lissajous, rose curves, spirographs, harmonographs, and cycloids for abstract art
3D wireframes: cubes, spheres, pyramids, octahedrons, and cylinders with live rotation

screenshot-effects.png

Effects Engine

Stack effects, see results instantly

A rich library of real-time effects and curated presets. Stack multiple effects on any shape and watch them animate live in the simulator. Every parameter updates in real-time.

3D rotation, tumble, wave, zoom, tunnel zoom, and oscillation
Prism and clone effects — duplicate shapes in circles, grids, or lines
Colour cycling, spatial rainbow, and cycloid colour modulation

screenshot-audio.png

Audio Engine

React to the music

Import audio tracks, detect BPM, and drive your laser show from the music. Frequency-band targeting means bass hits can pulse shapes while treble sparkles the colour.

Audio-reactive effects: bass, mid, treble, and amplitude drive scale, rotation, offset, and colour
Beat detection with waveform visualisation and beat markers on the timeline
Audio-synced playback — the music drives frame advancement automatically

screenshot-performance.png

Performance Mode

Perform live, trigger cues instantly

A dedicated full-screen performance view with 26-slot cue pages. Assign cues from your library, trigger them by keyboard or Art-Net DMX, and switch between pages for different acts.

Keyboard-mapped cue slots (Q-M) plus function key and number key shortcuts
Art-Net DMX control — trigger cues, adjust brightness, colour, rotation, and scale over Ethernet
Animated cue previews, instant switching, and blackout command

screenshot-projector.png

Projector Settings

Tune every scanner parameter

Fine-tune geometry, colour, blanking, and scan output per DAC. Advanced scanner optimizer with physics-based galvo modelling. Save profiles so each venue is one click away.

Scale, offset, rotation, mirror, and axis swap per projector
Advanced scanner optimizer: frequency, damping, acceleration, pre-distortion, and XY delay compensation
Built-in scanner presets (20kpps to CT6800) plus custom profiles

screenshot-livecanvas.png

Live Canvas

Draw live, project live

Freehand drawing streamed directly to your laser in real-time. Six brush types with adjustable size and colour. Draw a stroke and see it projected instantly.

Pen, marker, glow, dotted, rainbow, and text brushes
Zero-latency WebSocket streaming to connected DAC hardware
Undo strokes, clear canvas, switch devices on the fly

screenshot-simulator.png

Simulator

Preview without hardware

A real-time laser simulator renders your designs exactly as they appear from a projector. Normal, audience, source, and blanking-path view modes. No hardware needed to start designing.

Accurate point-by-point simulation at 30fps with FPS and point count overlay
Audience mode shows beam perspective with glow, blanking mode shows galvo travel paths
Works in the free tier — design and iterate before investing in hardware

Under the hood

Built for performance. Every point matters when you're driving galvo mirrors at 30,000+ points per second.

Scanner Optimization

  • ● Physics-based galvo modelling with frequency, damping, and acceleration
  • ● TSP path optimization (nearest-neighbour + 2-opt) to minimize blank travel
  • ● Velocity-aware point distribution with curvature weighting
  • ● Pre-distortion compensation and XY delay correction
  • ● Built-in scanner presets from 20kpps to CT6800, plus custom configuration

Art-Net DMX Control

  • ● Full DMX profile: brightness, position, rotation, scale, colour, and cue select
  • ● Configurable universe and start address
  • ● Real-time projector control from any lighting console

Output Pipeline

  • ● Point rates from 1,000 to 60,000 pps
  • ● Corner dwell, blanking interpolation, and lit interpolation
  • ● Scan safety protection against hot-dot burns
  • ● Per-projector scan zone boundaries
  • ● 3D rotation with orthographic projection

Architecture

  • ● Runs locally — no cloud, no account, no internet required
  • ● Lightweight server + browser UI — works on any modern browser
  • ● Real-time WebSocket simulation at 30fps
  • ● Multi-user collaborative editing via SignalR

Frequently Asked Questions

No! The built-in real-time simulator lets you preview laser output entirely in your browser. The free tier also supports one hardware DAC — import ILDA files and project them to your laser. The full show designer and editor unlock with a license.

CloudLase supports EtherDream (USB/Ethernet) and IDN (ILDA Digital Network) DACs out of the box. Multi-device output is supported — connect multiple projectors with independent calibration profiles.

Download the CloudLase app for your platform. It runs a lightweight local server and opens the design interface in your browser. All your designs, hardware communication, and laser output are handled locally on your machine — no internet or cloud account required.

Absolutely. Performance Mode gives you a full-screen cue grid with 26 keyboard-mapped slots, Art-Net DMX control, and instant cue switching. Live Canvas lets you freehand draw directly to the laser in real-time. Audio-reactive effects sync to the music automatically.

Import and export standard ILDA files (.ild/.ilda) for compatibility with any laser software. Import SVG vector graphics with full path support. Save and share portable CloudLase workspace archives (.clws) that include all frames, effects, and audio.

Yes. CloudLase includes a built-in Art-Net listener (UDP port 6454) with 11-channel DMX control — master brightness, position, rotation, scale, colour shift, and cue triggering. Configure the universe, start address, and target device from Settings.

Yes. Multiple users can connect to the same CloudLase instance and edit shapes simultaneously. Changes sync in real-time via WebSocket — great for teams designing shows together.

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) is fully supported today. Windows and Linux support is on the roadmap.
