What is AR Quick Look?

AR Quick Look is Apple’s built-in augmented-reality viewer on iPhone and iPad that opens a USDZ model from Safari and places it in the room — no app required.

Also called: Apple AR Quick Look, iOS Quick Look

Quick Look is part of iOS and iPadOS (15 or later for current experiences). When a WebAR link points to a USDZ file, Safari opens it directly in Quick Look.

On LiDAR-equipped Pro devices placement is almost instant; on other iPhones the device scans the floor for a few seconds first. Thridify exports each product as USDZ automatically for this path.

Why it matters

Quick Look is why app-free AR works on every modern iPhone: the viewer is already installed on the device.

  • WebAR (app-free AR)

    WebAR is augmented reality that runs in a phone’s web browser, so a shopper can place a product in their real space from a product page without installing an app.

  • USDZ

    USDZ is Apple’s packaged 3D file format, based on Pixar’s Universal Scene Description, used by AR Quick Look to show a model in augmented reality on iPhone and iPad.

  • Scene Viewer (Android)

    Scene Viewer is Google’s built-in 3D and AR viewer on Android that opens a glTF/GLB model from the browser and places it in the room using ARCore.

  • LiDAR placement vs guided placement

    LiDAR placement uses the depth scanner on Pro iPhones and iPads to place an AR product almost instantly; guided placement, on other phones, finds the floor from camera motion in a few seconds.
