Turn your data into beautiful, interactive maps.
GeoServer is a powerful tool that lets you publish maps and share geospatial data online. Paired with PostGIS, a smart database designed for location information, you can upload your data and create interactive maps that anyone can explore. From city planners to conservationists, people use it to visualize everything from population density to wildlife habitats.
What makes GeoServer & PostGIS worth launching.
Upload your geographic data and turn it into zoomable, clickable web maps instantly.
Work with Shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML, GeoTIFF, and dozens of other common formats — no conversion needed.
Your location data lives in a high-performance spatial database that makes searching and filtering maps lightning fast.
Publish your maps publicly or keep them private — control who sees what with simple permissions.
Customize colors, labels, and icons so your maps look exactly how you want them to.
Connect your maps to Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Leaflet, and other tools people already use.
If you fit one of these, GeoServer & PostGIS is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where GeoServer & PostGIS makes a real difference.
A local government publishes zoning maps and property boundaries so citizens can look up information without visiting an office.
Conservationists upload satellite imagery year after year to show how forests, rivers, and coastlines are changing over time.
Urban planners overlay population data with transit routes and school zones to make smarter decisions about where to build.
Researchers publish maps of survey results, animal migration patterns, or climate data so colleagues and the public can explore the findings.
GeoServer is a free and open-source tool that makes it easy to share maps and location-based data on the web. Think of it as a publishing platform for anything with a geographic component — zip codes, satellite images, property boundaries, or weather patterns. You upload your data through a simple web dashboard, and GeoServer turns it into interactive maps that people can view, zoom into, and explore. PostGIS, its companion database, stores all that location info efficiently so your maps load fast and stay accurate. Together, they give you everything you need to build a professional, interactive mapping site without writing code. It's used by governments like the World Bank, national mapping agencies, and environmental organizations around the world.
GeoServer is the most trusted open-source tool for publishing geospatial data on the web, used by major organizations from the World Bank to national mapping agencies. It speaks the industry-standard OGC formats, which means the maps you create will work with any modern mapping tool. With PostGIS as its database backbone, your data stays organized, fast, and accurate even as it grows. Whether you're a city planner, an environmental scientist, or just someone with location data to share, GeoServer gives you professional-grade mapping power without expensive licensing fees.
