Geospatial workbench Live

geojson.app

Open source mapping & geospatial data visualization.

A browser-based GeoJSON workbench. Drop, paste, or URL-load geospatial data and instantly visualise it on an interactive vector map — with measurement, drawing, and an embeddable JS SDK. No proprietary tile lock-in.

The story

What it is and why we built it

geojson.app is a geospatial data visualisation and processing toolkit built on a purely open-source web mapping stack. Drag a .geojson file in, paste raw GeoJSON, or load it from a URL — the map renders instantly with vector tiles, no account required.

Beyond viewing, the workbench gives you measurement, marker placement, polygon drawing, projection toggles, and a one-click "copy as GeoJSON" export for any feature. For developers, an embeddable JS SDK makes it trivial to add an interactive map to your own site without committing to a paid Mapbox or ArcGIS account.

It exists as the open-source alternative we wanted: fast, no-login, no lock-in, and built on tools the wider geospatial community can audit and extend.

What's inside

Features

  • 01

    Drag-and-drop GeoJSON

    Drop a .geojson file onto the workbench or paste raw JSON and it renders on the map immediately. No accounts, no upload limits.

  • 02

    Load from URL

    Pull GeoJSON straight from a URL — share a link to a hosted dataset and the map renders with the data inline.

  • 03

    Measure, draw, mark

    Measure multi-point distances, draw polygons and multi-polygons, drop markers with custom positioning — all from the toolbar.

  • 04

    Copy as GeoJSON

    Any drawn or selected feature can be copied straight back out as valid GeoJSON. The workbench is a two-way street.

  • 05

    Embeddable JS SDK

    Add interactive maps to your own website using the JS SDK — no paid tile provider required for typical use.

  • 06

    Open stack, no lock-in

    Built on open-source web mapping libraries so you can audit, extend, or migrate without fighting a proprietary tile provider.

Who it's for

Built for

  • Developers and GIS analysts who need a quick visualisation
  • Teams who want to embed a map without paying per tile request
  • Open-source mapping enthusiasts
  • Anyone debugging GeoJSON without spinning up QGIS

How it's different

Differentiators

  • Purely open-source web mapping stack — no proprietary tile lock-in.
  • Hosted workbench AND embeddable JS SDK from one product.
  • GeoJSON-first workflow rather than format-agnostic generality.
  • No login wall, no upload limits, no per-request metering.

Frequently asked

Common questions

Do I need an account?
No. Open the page, drop your file, and the map renders. Nothing is uploaded to a server you don't control.
What's the embeddable SDK?
A JS library you can add to your own site to render the same interactive maps. Useful for adding a map to a docs site, dashboard, or blog without a paid tile contract.
What file sizes does it handle?
Comfortable with typical GeoJSON workloads. Very large datasets may benefit from tile-serving instead — but for most everyday GIS files it's fine.
Is the source open?
It's built on a purely open-source web mapping stack. Visit geojson.app for the latest on the project's licensing and contribution model.
