View, edit, convert, process, and analyze spatial data online without installing desktop GIS software.
IXGIS is a browser-based GIS platform for practical spatial data workflows. It helps you work with vector data, raster data, coordinate reference systems, terrain data, and map production tasks directly in the browser.
Whether you need to inspect a Shapefile, convert GIS formats, reproject spatial data, edit vector features, process GeoTIFF rasters, or prepare a map layout, IXGIS brings common GIS workflows into an online environment.
Browser GIS refers to GIS software or GIS workflows that run directly in a web browser. Instead of installing and maintaining desktop GIS software for every task, users can open a web-based GIS platform and work with spatial data online.
Desktop GIS remains important for advanced local workflows, large-scale data management, specialized plugins, and heavy geoprocessing. Browser GIS is designed for fast access, practical online workflows, and common spatial data tasks that should not always require a local desktop installation.
Use IXGIS to open browser-based GIS projects, manage layers, inspect spatial data, and render maps online. It is designed for working with common vector and raster datasets in a cloud GIS environment.
IXGIS includes documented vector editing workflows for creating and modifying features, editing attributes, using snapping settings, working with topology-related editing operations, and adjusting geometry. For raster workflows, IXGIS also includes documented raster editing and pixel-level tools, making it suitable for practical online raster inspection and editing tasks.
IXGIS supports documented data conversion workflows for both vector and raster data. This helps users prepare spatial data for exchange, analysis, archiving, or use in other GIS systems. Full editing support is focused on Shapefile, GeoPackage, and PostGIS vector data, and GeoTIFF raster data. Other documented formats are mainly supported through conversion workflows and spatial calculation tools. Specific input and output support may vary by tool, so users should check the relevant tool page before running a workflow.
Coordinate reference systems are a core part of GIS work. IXGIS includes documented tools for reprojecting vector and raster data to a target coordinate reference system.
IXGIS includes documented raster processing workflows for common GIS and remote sensing tasks. These tools help users work with GeoTIFF and other raster datasets directly in browser-based projects. The raster calculator supports cell-by-cell raster calculations, multi-raster and multi-band references, conditional expressions, and AI-assisted formula writing in documented workflows.
IXGIS includes documented vector analysis tools for common spatial processing tasks. These workflows are useful for preparing, combining, filtering, and analyzing vector datasets without switching to a desktop GIS environment for every operation.
IXGIS includes documented terrain analysis workflows for DEM-based analysis. These tools are useful for elevation and terrain processing tasks in environmental analysis, geomorphology, hydrology, and spatial planning.
IXGIS is not limited to data processing. It also includes documented map production workflows, helping users prepare map layouts and export map outputs from browser-based GIS projects.
IXGIS is designed around practical GIS tasks rather than isolated software menus. The following documented workflows are especially relevant for browser-based GIS users.
These workflows help users move from data viewing to editing, conversion, processing, analysis, and map production in one browser-based GIS environment.
Browser GIS and desktop GIS serve different needs. IXGIS is not positioned as a complete replacement for professional desktop GIS software in every situation. Instead, it focuses on browser-based access to common GIS workflows.
Desktop GIS remains powerful for complex professional analysis, large local datasets, advanced cartography, specialized extensions, and heavy processing. Browser GIS is useful when you need fast access, online data handling, shared workflows, and common GIS tools without installing software.
IXGIS provides full editing support for Shapefile, GeoPackage, and PostGIS vector data, and for GeoTIFF raster data. Other documented vector and raster formats are mainly supported through conversion workflows and spatial calculation tools. Because GIS tools often support different subsets of formats and parameters, users should check each tool page for exact input and output requirements.
Open supported vector or raster data in a browser-based GIS project, check layers, inspect attributes, and view spatial relationships without setting up a desktop GIS workspace.
Convert vector or raster data into formats suitable for sharing, archiving, or use in other GIS platforms.
Transform vector or raster datasets into the correct coordinate reference system before overlay, measurement, clipping, or map production.
Use documented raster tools to clip, calculate, reclassify, inspect, and process raster datasets. DEM workflows such as slope, aspect, curvature, and terrain attributes support common terrain analysis tasks.
Create, modify, split, merge, move, and edit vector features and attributes in browser-based GIS projects.
Use browser-based layout and map production workflows to create map frames, legends, scale bars, north arrows, templates, atlas outputs, and exported maps.
IXGIS is built for users who need practical GIS capabilities without installing desktop software for every task. It brings together spatial data viewing, editing, conversion, processing, analysis, and map production in a browser-based environment.
For advanced desktop-only workflows, specialized plugins, very large local datasets, or heavy geoprocessing, desktop GIS software may still be the better choice. For common online GIS tasks, IXGIS provides a direct browser-based workflow.
