We present NOVA3R, an effective approach for non-pixel-aligned 3D reconstruction from a set of unposed images in a feed-forward manner. Unlike pixel-aligned methods that tie geometry to per-ray predictions, our formulation learns a global, view-agnostic scene representation that decouples reconstruction from pixel alignment. This addresses two key limitations in pixel-aligned 3D: (1) it recovers both visible and invisible points with a complete scene representation, and (2) it produces physically plausible geometry with fewer duplicated structures in overlapping regions. To achieve this, we introduce a scene-token mechanism that aggregates information across unposed images and a diffusion-based 3D decoder that reconstructs complete, non-pixel-aligned point clouds. Extensive experiments on both scene-level and object-level datasets demonstrate that NOVA3R outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of reconstruction accuracy and completeness.
