GeoLibre Desktop
by GeoLibre
Lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform
About
GeoLibre is a lightweight, cloud-native desktop GIS for visualizing and analyzing geospatial data, built on MapLibre with deck.gl for 3D and large point-cloud overlays. It loads vector and raster files, web services, ArcGIS layers, MBTiles, 3D Tiles, and cloud-native formats such as GeoParquet, FlatGeobuf, PMTiles, and COG, converting local data in the browser with DuckDB-WASM Spatial. Projects are saved in an open .geolibre.json format, and the app is extensible through a plugin ecosystem. Highlights: - Add data from files, web services, databases, and cloud catalogs - Vector and raster processing tools, with an optional Python sidecar - A SQL workspace for DuckDB Spatial, and a docked Jupyter notebook - Offline basemap downloads, story maps, and multi-user collaboration
