JupyterGIS

In-browser, collaborative GIS built on Jupyter

JupyterGIS is an in-browser Geographical Information System (GIS) with real-time collaboration. It is built on Project Jupyter but independently useable. As flagship project of the GeoJupyter community it aims to enable organizations, researchers, and students to easily explore and work with geospatial data.

Highlights

• Real-time collaboration — like Google Docs for GIS, with spatial annotations and comments
• QGIS interoperability — import and export QGIS project files
• Python API — scriptable workflows in collaborative notebooks
• Many data formats — GeoJSON, GeoTIFF/COG, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, Shapefile, PMTiles, WMS/WMTS, and more
• Grammar-driven symbology — flexible rule-based styling, similar to Vega-Lite
• Storymaps — guided narratives through your maps
• Hillshade & heatmaps — terrain and density visualization
• GDAL processing — rasterize, warp, and translate in the browser or on the server
• STAC & OpenEO — cloud-native data catalog and processing support
• Pangeo integration — dynamic raster tile serving via TiTiler backed by the Pangeo stack
• Layer gallery — pre-built layer catalog for quick setup
• Embeddable — use as a standalone map, an IDE, or from within a notebook
• AI skills — map operations in natural language via Jupyter AI

Deploying with JupyterLite

You can run JupyterGIS entirely in the browser using JupyterLite:

1. Create a repository using the xeus-lite-demo template.
2. Edit environment.yml and add jupytergis-lite.
3. Add your data and .jGIS files under the content/ directory.
4. Under Settings → Pages set the GitHub Pages deployment source to "GitHub Actions".

Note: Collaboration is not yet supported in JupyterLite static deployments.
