Welcome to ParaView
ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView’s batch processing capabilities.
ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of petascale size as well as on laptops for smaller data, has become an integral tool in many national laboratories, universities and industry, and has won several awards related to high performance computation.

ParaView Platform in Action
Climate Research
The Climate Data Analysis Tools (CDAT) project leverages ParaView with other open-source tools to enable analysts to track, monitor, and predict climate changes.
CFD Simulations
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with ParaView enable aviation teams to study lift and drag, and thereby improve design efficiency.
Immersive Data
By immersing themselves in the data with ParaView, researchers can interactively explore data in a more intuitive manner.

Building a ParaView plugin in order to redistribute it for it to be loaded with the binary release of ParaView (downloadable from paraview.org/download) is not trivial. It used to be impossible but thanks to the ParaViewPluginBuilder (PPB), it has been possible to do so locally for some time. However, using the PPB is slow, can […] CI: Continuous IntegrationMR: Merge RequestPR: Pull Request In the VTK/ParaView ecosystem, there are a number of projects that rely on VTK and ParaView as dependency and are not part of VTK/ParaView per se, eg Flow3D, Salome, Themys, F3D, PVGeo, vtk-dicom, pyvista, vedo, meshio, slicer, CTK, cmb, ttk. It has always been complex for these kind […] Virtual reality (VR) in ParaView brings richer visualization for your data through more intuitive spatial interaction. Support for VR has been readily available in ParaView since several minor releases. A previous blog post provides more information on how to get VR running with ParaView, while this post introduces basic interaction using VR controllers. Note that […]
