FAQ

IFC Viewer on Mac — Questions


Does the IFC viewer work on Mac?

Yes, fully. IFC Viewer Online works on any modern browser on macOS — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. No plugin, no installation, no operating system restriction. If your browser supports WebGL and WebAssembly (all modern browsers do), it works.

Do I need to download anything to view IFC files on Mac?

No. Just open the URL in Safari or Chrome on your Mac and drag your IFC file into the browser window. The viewer runs entirely via WebAssembly — no app to install, no plugin, no Revit license needed.

Is the IFC viewer free for Mac users?

Yes, completely free. No account required, no subscription, no hidden cost. The source code is MIT-licensed and available on GitHub. You can fork it and deploy your own instance.

Are IFC files uploaded to a server when I open them on Mac?

No. Files are parsed entirely in your browser via web-ifc WebAssembly. Nothing leaves your Mac. You can safely use it with confidential project models under NDA — no data changes hands.

Does it work offline on Mac?

Yes, once the page is loaded. The WebAssembly parser and WebGL renderer run entirely in the browser. Geometry is cached in OPFS so repeat file loads are instant even without an internet connection.

What IFC file formats and versions are supported on Mac?

IFC2x3, IFC4, IFC4x1, and IFC4x3 — the same as on Windows. The viewer uses the open-source web-ifc parser, which supports all current IFC schema versions exported by Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla, Allplan, Vectorworks, BricsCAD BIM, and Solibri.
