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.

From our blog
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 […] ParaView 5.10.1 is a patch release with a variety of bug fixes. The full list of issues addressed by this release is available here. User interface State files appear as datasets. (details) File dialog issues in client/server mode (details) Stride in Animation View is too restricted(details) Context menu in file dialog doesn’t work on macOS […] As computational power grows stronger, pipelines also grow more complex : being able to understand a workflow and change it easily can become a real challenge. A few decades ago software such as Blender introduced a new way of visualizing and editing such complex pipeline : the node editor. This type of workflow is now […]
