Drop a GeoTIFF or a zipped Shapefile.
Geo File Viewer
View a GeoTIFF elevation model or zipped Shapefile on a plain canvas with no basemap and no tile calls. See the value at your cursor, the minimum and maximum, the CRS if known, and the attributes in a table.
Good to know
- Large rasters are downsampled for display, and the tool says when that happens. Cursor values then come from the downsampled grid.
- The CRS is shown when the file states it. Nothing is reprojected.
- There is no basemap, because a basemap would mean network calls that reveal where you are looking.
Your files stay on your machine
This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — close the tab and every trace is gone.
These are the free ones — see the full suiteHow big a file can it take?
There is no upload, so there is no upload limit — but the work happens in this tab, which means your browser’s memory is the budget. Nothing here will refuse a file for being large; a big enough one simply gets slow and, eventually, reloads the tab. The figures below are rules of thumb on a desktop browser, not enforced caps. On a phone or tablet, expect a good deal less.
- A GeoTIFF is read into memory, so the file size binds: comfortable to about 500 MB, less for compressed files.
- Shapefiles are drawn as vector shapes: comfortable to around 100,000 features.
Password-protected PDFs are declined whatever their size — unlock the file first. If a run does die on a long document, splitting it into volumes and working through them one at a time is the reliable way round it.
