What is QGIS Cloud?

Create maps

Create complex maps with QGIS desktop, using any of the styling possibilities offered by QGIS desktop. Just as you have always done with QGIS desktop. Then simply publish data and maps with the QGIS Cloud pluign. All this in just a few minutes, it's as simple as it gets.

Manage data

QGIS Cloud gives you a full-featured PostgreSQL 9 databases, extended with PostGIS 2. Create new databases directly from the QGIS Cloud plugin with just a click. Manage your databases with any compatible management tool, such as pgAdmin3, the QGIS Browser or the QGIS DB-Manager. You have full access to all features of a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database.

Share information and data

Share your maps and data over OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) compliant web services. Display your maps via WMS, or download the data via WFS. With WFS-T, you can edit your data directly over the web service. Or use the QGIS Cloud WebGIS and Mobile Client integrated in QGIS Cloud.

If your information and data should not be publicly accessible, QGIS Cloud pro allows you to restrict access by protecting the resources with a password.

Print maps

Offer high quality maps via WMS for printing. Just create as many print compositions as you please with QGIS Desktop, with all the options it offers to you. Compose maps for arbitrary paper formats, with printing resolution up to 1200 dpi.

Security

The data is stored in the cloud in PostgreSQL databases. Access to the databases is protected with a password, and accessed through SSH.

If you want to share your services only to a restricted group of people, then you can limit access to the resources. For this, you'll need QGIS Cloud Pro. With QGIS Cloud Free, all QGIS Cloud services are openly accessible.
