Why DropMaps

A full GIS, with nothing to set up

Drop in any format

Shapefiles, File Geodatabase (.gdb.zip), KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, CSV, TopoJSON, GeoTIFF/COG and PMTiles — drag them straight onto the map.

Runs in your browser

DuckDB-WASM and MapLibre do the heavy lifting client-side. No upload, no server round-trip, no install.

Style & edit

Symbolise layers, edit attributes, draw and reshape geometry, and organise everything into layer groups.

Big rasters, no sweat

Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs and PMTiles stream via HTTP range reads — view large imagery without downloading it all.

Save & share

Publish a map, not a file

Stay free and local forever, or go Pro to sync across devices, back up to the cloud, and share a live map with anyone — no account needed to view.

Local-first, always free

The full editor — import, edit and export every format — runs in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine unless you choose to sync.

Share a public link

On Pro, make and share a read-only map in minutes. Share a map to anyone via a link — a branded, read-only viewer with optional password, expiry and view stats.

Cloud sync & storage

Pro backs up and syncs your maps across devices, with 5 GB of storage included — add more in $1/mo USD per-10 GB packs whenever you need it.
