Imports & exports
Go to datasetsDatasets hub
Manage imports, track row counts, and export any dataset to Parquet, DuckDB, SQLite, and more.
Welcome to Geoverse—your free QGIS alternative
Geoverse is a lightweight, browser-based desktop GIS that runs entirely in your browser. Perfect for QGIS users and ArcGIS professionals who need quick geospatial file viewing without launching desktop software. No installation, no backend, completely free.
Workspace guide
Like QGIS panels but organized as browser routes. Each workspace surface handles a specific task—from imports to analysis to visualization. Everything runs client-side with no server required.
Data quality
Inspect tablesTable explorer
Profile columns, paginate millions of records, and spot-check schema issues before sharing.
Analytics
Run SQLSQL notebook
Write DuckDB SQL, keep snippets handy, and combine datasets without leaving the browser.
Spatial view
Preview mapsMap explorer
Stack layers, compare attributes, and validate geometry edits directly on a dark-mode canvas.
Resources & updates
Format viewers
Several pages dedicated for explaining specific geospatial file formats.
GeoParquet viewer
View and convert GeoParquet files with columnar performance and DuckDB SQL.
FlatGeobuf viewer
Stream and query FlatGeobuf (.fgb) files with spatial indexing support.
GeoJSON viewer
View, validate, and convert GeoJSON to optimized formats like GeoParquet.
GeoPackage viewer
Work with multi-layer GeoPackage (.gpkg) files and SQLite spatial data.
Shapefile viewer
View and convert Shapefile (.shp) files with full CRS support and modern format conversion.
Parquet viewer
Analyze Parquet files with SQL queries and column statistics.

Release notes
Roadmap preview
In progress · Draw & edit features
Create new datasets from sketches, append features to existing layers, and edit geometry in place.
Planned · Data-driven layer styling
Style map layers based on attribute values with categorical, graduated, and rule-based renderers—similar to QGIS symbology.
Exploring · Add more spatial functions and queries
Expand the spatial SQL function library with additional geometry operations, measurements, and analysis tools for more comprehensive geospatial workflows.
Export & handoff tips
The datasets page now supports eleven export targets powered by DuckDB's COPY engine. Pick the bundle that matches how your teammates expect data.
Analytics pipelines
Hand off columnar or database-native files for downstream ETL and notebooks.
