Introducing GIS Studio — Web-Based QGIS in Your Browser

Import shapefiles, KML, GeoJSON and CSV, style layers, inspect features and export — no software to install.

Sunday, June 28, 20262 min read5 views

GIS Studio is Live

GIS Studio is a full browser-based GIS application. Think QGIS or ArcGIS, but running entirely in your browser with zero installation.

What You Can Do

Import any geospatial file format:

  • Shapefile — upload the ZIP file containing .shp, .dbf and .prj
  • KML / KMZ — Google Earth format, including placemarks, lines and polygons
  • GeoJSON — the standard web GIS format
  • CSV — any spreadsheet with latitude and longitude columns (auto-detected)

Manage multiple layers:

  • Toggle visibility with one click
  • Change fill colour per layer
  • Adjust opacity with a slider
  • Zoom to any layer extent
  • Reorder layers in the panel

Click any feature to inspect its full attribute table in the right panel. Search through attributes for large datasets.

Export back out as GeoJSON, CSV or KML — great for format conversion.

Five base maps: OpenStreetMap, Satellite (Esri), Light and Dark (CartoDB), and Terrain (OpenTopoMap). Switch with one click.

Who Is This For

  • GIS analysts who need a quick look at data without opening QGIS
  • Developers verifying shapefile or GeoJSON exports
  • Anyone who needs to view spatial data shared as a file
  • Students learning GIS concepts

What is Coming Next

Drawing tools (add points, lines, polygons), measurement tools (distance, area), attribute table view, layer opacity blending, WMS/WFS remote layer support and spatial queries.
